COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 3/27/2012 Ordinance No. 20139 -03- 2012
DATE: Tuesday, March 27, 2012 REFERENCE NO.: * *C -25529
LOG NAME: 60SS56P2CO2- CONATSER
SUBJECT:
Authorize Execution of Change Order No. 2 in the Amount of $175,653.75 for a Total Contract Amount of
$868,088.75 to City Secretary Contract No. 41807 with Conatser Construction TX, LP, for Sanitary Sewer
Rehabilitation Contract 56, Part 2 on Portions of West Peter Smith Street, West Cannon Street, West
Leuda Street, West Terrell Avenue, College Avenue, Alston Avenue and Lipscomb Street and Adopt
Appropriation Ordinance (COUNCIL DISTRICTS 8 and 9)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the transfer of $175,653.75 from the Water and Sewer Operating Fund to the Sewer Capital
Projects Fund;
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Sewer Capital Projects Fund by the amount of $175,653.75 from available funds; and
3. Authorize the execution of Change Order No. 2 in the amount of $175,653.75 to City Secretary
Contract No. 41807 with Conatser Construction TX, LP, for Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Contract 56,
Part 2, thereby increasing the contract amount to $868,088.75.
DISCUSSION:
On May 17, 2011, (M &C C- 24912) City Council authorized the execution of a contract in the amount of
$696,387.00 with Conatser Construction TX, LP, for Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Contract 56, Part 2.
The contract was subsequently revised by one change order with a credit of $3,952.00 administratively
approved by the City Manager on September 6, 2011.
During sewer installation, existing wet soil subgrade was encountered on the project streets that caused
backfill material to fail density testing. In addition, City standard pavement repair could not be conducted
because the wet soil condition would cause the pavement to fail. This change order will provide
compensation for the installation of geogrid material in conjunction with permanent pavement repairs in
order to strengthen the soil as well as the installation of temporary pavement pending permanent
pavement repair.
The total cost of work under this change order is $175,653.75. Taking into account the previous credit of
$3,952.00, the total contract amount will be increased by $171,701.75, or 24.66 percent. Staff considers
the change order amount to be fair and reasonable and recommends approval.
M /WBE - Conatser Construction TX, LP, is in compliance with the City's M /WBE Ordinance by committing
Logname: 60SS56P2CO2- CONATSER Page 1 of 2
to an additional 18 percent M /WBE participation on this Change Order No. 2. The City's goal on this
Change Order No. 2 is 18 percent.
This project, Part 2, is located in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 8 and 9, Mapsco 76H and 76M.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current capital budget, as
