7.2.A. - Page 1 <br /> REPORT <br /> To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br /> From the City Manager <br /> March 10, 2014 <br /> SUBJECT <br /> Final Acceptance — 2013 -2014 Water Main Replacement Project <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> By motion, accept the 2013 -2014 Water Main Replacement Project and authorize the <br /> release of retention according to City procedures. <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> The City systematically replaces sections of aging water main infrastructure to ensure <br /> the continued reliability of the system and to provide for improved fire protection. <br /> Annually, Community Development Department staff identifies and targets for <br /> replacement pipeline sections that have experienced service disruptions, excessive <br /> maintenance requirements, or capacity limitations due to age and size. <br /> ANALYSIS <br /> On September 23, 2013 the City Council awarded the construction contract for the <br /> Water Main Seismic Improvement Program to Casey Construction. Inc. for $859,820. <br /> Approximately 5,000 linear feet of deteriorated and undersized cast iron water pipeline <br /> were replaced with more durable PVC pipe. <br /> The project has been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications and <br /> within the timeframe allowed by contract for a total cost of $880,183.45, which is 2.37% <br /> more than the original bid amount. One change order was issued for the amount of <br /> $20,363.45 resulting from quantity adjustments and modifications to the design due to <br /> unforeseen field conditions and additional work. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> Council may choose not to accept the project or authorize the release of retention which <br /> would be contrary to the terms of the contract, prior Council action, and public <br /> contracting code. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> Sufficient funding for the work of this contract was previously appropriated as Water <br /> Fund Capital Projects — Distribution System Replacement Program. <br />
