6.2D Unforeseeable subsurface conditions are part of the risk inherent to this type of Page 2 construction. Staff acknowledges that the project proceeded without retuming to Council to receive additional authorization for contract costs in excess of 100/0 of the awarded amount. The City Manager and senior management were apprised of this situation as it developed. They directed the project staff to continue the work based on the risk and potential consequences of stopping the work at that time. A work stoppage in order to receive additional Council authorization may have resulted in increased disruption to area businesses, excessive demobilizationlremobilization construction costs, and may have delayed project completion. Despite the challenges of this project and the pressures of time and money, the project is completed on schedule while maintaining quality workmanship and business relationships, at a cost that exceeds previously approved amounts by 3010. Bid Package 7 is the seventh distribution pipeline construction project and is part of the delivery system of recycled water to the Seaport area. This project continued the construction of the main transmission piping system along Seaport Boulevard that began in Bid Packages 5 and 6 at Blomquist Street. Piping was also installed along East Bayshore Road and connections made to the completed Bikepath Pipeline and Bid Package 4 projects. More than 3,700 linear feet of 24-inch diameter PVC pipe was constructed. Completion of this work and one short link of transmission piping from Bid Package 8 will allow delivery of recycled water to the Seaport area. ALTERNAnvES Council may choose not to accept the project or authorize the release of bonds and retention which would be contrary to the terms of the contract and prior Council action. FISCAL IMPACT Funds have been appropriated from the Water Revenue Bond proceeds. The City has issued a series of three Water Revenue Bonds to finance Phase 1 of the Recycled Water Project. Available project funds, less unattributed interest, total $5,854,318.36 as of March 31, 2009. Up to 25010 of eligible construction costs of Bid Packages 5 through 9 may be reimbursed by the State's Proposition 13 Water Recycling Grant Program. ~ Phong OUt P.E.
