DISCUSSION:
On October 25, 2005, (M&C C-21109) the City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a contract
with Archer Western Constructors, Ltd., for the Eagle Mountain Raw Water Pump Station Improvements in
the amount of $6,888,500.00. This project consists of the installation of a new raw water pump station
located south of the Eagle Mountain Dam, along the West Fork. of the Trinity River.
On March 30, 2006, Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $24,346.10 was administratively approved,
thereby increasing the contract to $6,912,846.10. Change Order No. 1 consisted of the work to reroute
overhead and underground dual feeds to the proposed pump station resulting from construction conflicts
due to incorrect field locates and as-built information.
On January 23, 2007, (M&C C-21943) City Council authorized the City Manager to execute Change Order
No. 2 in the amount of $172,609.84, thereby increasing the contract to $7,085,455.94. Change Order No. 2
was required due primarily to a steel pile quantity overrun.
Change Order No. 3 is required in order to compensate the contractor for additional transverse reinforcing
steel required in the pump station reinforced concrete foundation along with revisions to the pump station
building structural steel roof to column connections.
Staff considers the proposed change order amount to be fair and reasonable and recommends approval.
