Letter from Consulting Engineer <br /> <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Summary <br /> <br />On August 9, 1993, Council authorized a contract between LA. Utilities and the City of <br />La Porte in the amount of $210,379.25, plus a contingency of $10,520.75, for the <br />construction of water and sewer line crossings of S.H. 225. This project was completed <br />and included three minor change orders for a total project cost of $218,997.25. <br /> <br />During the construction process however, a problem was encountered attempting to bore <br />beneath the railroad and pipeline corridor at one location. The sub-contractor was forced <br />to withdraw from the 80 feet of bore started and re-bore at a lower depth. Under the <br />conditions of the contract, L.A. Utilities has filed a claim for the additional work required <br />in the amount of $15,767.00 (you may recall the original claim filed was in the amount of <br />$70,167.38). The consulting engineer and the staff have reviewed the request and agree <br />that the contractor has a legitimate claim for the additional work required by unforeseen <br />circumstances. <br /> <br />As this exceeds initial authorization, it will require Council approve Change Order #4 to <br />this contract in the amount of $15,767.00 and to appropriate an additional $13,864.25 to <br />the project. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />The staff recommends Council authorize the City Manager to execute Change Order #4 <br />to the contract between LA. Utilities and the City of La Porte in the amount of $15,767.00 <br />and further appropriate an additional $13,864.25 to the project. <br /> <br />Action Required by Council: <br /> <br />Authorize the City Manager to execute Change Order #4 to the contract between LA. <br />Utilities and the City of La Porte for the construction of utility crossings on S.H. 225 in the <br />amount of $15,767.00 and to appropriate an additional $13,864.25 to said project. <br /> <br />Availability of Funds: <br /> <br />General Fund <br />-1L Capital Improvement <br />Other <br /> <br />Water /Wastewater <br />General Revenue Sharing <br /> <br />Account Number: 003-683-610-510 <br /> <br />Funds Available: X YES <br /> <br />NO <br /> <br />A <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DATE <br />
