Authorize execution of Change Order No. 1 to City Secretary Contract No.62901, a Contract with Solid Bridge Construction, LLC, in the amount of $627,010.00, for construction services for 3rd Main to West Fork Trunk Mains (Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility Biosolids Facility Bank Stabilization) project for a revised contract amount of $10,123,788.00; 2. Adopt the attached resolution expressing official intent to reimburse expenditures with proceeds from future debt for 3rd Main to West Fork Trunk Main (Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility Biosolids Facility Bank Stabilization) project; and 3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance adjusting appropriations in the Water & Sewer Commercial Paper Fund by increasing appropriations in the 3rd Main to West Fork Trunk Mains (Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility Biosolids Facility Bank Stabilization) (City Project No. 103128) in the amount of $627,010.00 and decreasing appropriations in the Water & Sewer Commercial Paper project (City Project No. UCMLPR) by the same amount, to effect a portion of Water's contribution to the Fiscal Years 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program. DISCUSSION: The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize execution of change order No. 1, in the amount of $627,010.00, to a construction contract with Solid Bridge Construction LLC, for the 3rd Main to West Fork Trunk Mains (Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility Biosolids Facility Bank Stabilization) project. On January 28, 2025 by M&C 25-0073, the City Council authorized a construction contract with Solid Bridge Construction LLC, in the amount of $9,496,778.00 for 3rd Main to West Fork Trunk Mains (Village Creek Water Reclamation Facility Biosolids Facility Bank Stabilization) project. Change Order No. 1 will provide an additional rock rip rap and rock riffle material to provide increased protection for the existing four 12-inch sludge lines crossing the West Fork Trinity within the limits of construction for this project. During construction, it was found that the four 12-inch sludge lines are located at a higher elevation than shown on existing City Records and in conflict with this project. Therefore, it is necessary to increase installation of rock rip rap material downstream of the sludge lines to protect them from collapse in severe rainfall events. Available cash within the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio along with the appropriation authority authorized under the Callable Commercial Paper Program (CP) will be used to provide interim financing for this project until the debt is issued. Once debt of this project is sold, bonds proceeds will be used to reimburse the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio in accordance with the attached reimbursement resolution. Under federal law, debt must be issued within approximately three years in order for these expenses to be reimbursable. Adoption of the attached resolution does not obligate the City to sell bonds but preserves the ability of the City to reimburse itself from tax-exempt bond proceeds. It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its Capital Improvement Program (CIP) plan throughout the Fiscal Year, instead of within the annual budget ordinance, as projects commence, additional funding needs are identified, and to comply with bond covenants. Funding is budgeted in the Commercial Paper project within the W&S Commercial Paper Fund for the purpose of funding the 3rd Main to W Trunk Mains project. Appropriations for 3rd Main to W Fork Trunk Mains project, are as depicted below: Fund Existing Additional Project Total* Appropriations Appropriations 56019 — W&S Rev Bonds Series $1,616,032.00 $0.00 $1,616,032.00 2021 56022 — W&S Rev I Bonds Series $961,720.00 2024 56023 — W&S Rev $10,993,592.00 Bond Series 2025 W&S Commercial Paper — Fund $0.00 56026 $0.00 $961,720.00 $0.00 $10,993,592.00 $627,010.00 $627,010.00 Project Total $13,571,344.00 $627,010.00 $14,198,354.00 *Numbers rounded for presentation purposes. The project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 5. FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION: The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the Commercial Paper project within the W&S Commercial Paper Fund, and upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the W&S Commercial Paper Fund for the 3rd Main to W Fork Trunk Mains project to support execution of the change order. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Water Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
