Body
Key Issues:
• The City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri has previously entered into a contract with Wiedenmann Inc. for the Water Main Replacement FY16 Project.
• An additional change order to the contract with Wiedenmann Inc. is necessary to replace the existing water main to minimize future water service disruption to the Lee’s Summit Senior High School.
• Change Order No. 3 authorizes an additional 240 feet of water main replacement in front of the Lee’s Summit High School east of the intersection of SE 8th Street and SE Browning Avenue.
• City Council approval is required because this is a change of scope.
Proposed City Council Motion:
FIRST MOTION: I move for a second reading of AN ORDINANCE APPROVING CHANGE ORDER #3 TO THE CONTRACT WITH WIEDENMANN INC., PROJECT NO. 20231683-C, FOR THE WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT FY16, AN INCREASE OF $48,459.39 AND AN ADDITIONAL 10 CALENDAR DAYS FOR A REVISED CONTRACT PRICE OF $1,665,520.09 AND 220 CALENDAR DAYS TO REACH SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION AND 250 DAYS TO REACH FINAL COMPLETION.
SECOND MOTION: I move for adoption of AN ORDINANCE APPROVING CHANGE ORDER #3 TO THE CONTRACT WITH WIEDENMANN INC., PROJECT NO. 20231683-C, FOR THE WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT FY16, AN INCREASE OF $48,459.39 AND AN ADDITIONAL 10 CALENDAR DAYS FOR A REVISED CONTRACT PRICE OF $1,665,520.09 AND 220 CALENDAR DAYS TO REACH SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION AND 250 DAYS TO REACH FINAL COMPLETION; ON AN EMERGENCY BASIS.
Background:
The FY 16 water main replacement project includes the following areas: SE 6th Street between SE Green Street and SE Independence Avenue, SE Green Street and SE 8th Street south of SE 7th Street to SE Browning Avenue, SE 7th Terrace east of SE Green Street, SE 5th Street between SW Warns Street and SW Jefferson Street, NE Noeleen Lane between NE Columbus Street and NE Oak Tree Drive, NE Edgewater Drive west of NE Shoreview Drive, NE Shoreview Drive north of NE Bayview Drive, NE Bayview Drive west of NE Shoreview Drive, NE Brockton Drive between NE Newbury Court and NE Dick Howser Drive, NE Hampstead Drive between NE Dick Howser Drive and NE Brockton Drive, NE Pembroke Lane north of NE Dick Howser Drive, NE Beach Road south of NE Woods Chapel Road. Alternate No. 1 includes replacing the water main along NE Grant Street between NE Chapel Drive and NE Stanton Street and NE Grant Court southwest of NE Grant Street. Alternate No. 2 includes replacing the water main along NE Warrington Court east of NE Dick Howser Drive. Alternate No. 3 includes replacing the water main along NE Woods Chapel Road south of Liggett Road.
The Contractor met with Lee’s Summit School District Staff to discuss the water main replacement work near the Lee’s Summit High School. On May 11, 2017, Lee’s Summit School District Staff requested City Staff to replace the water main in front of Building B of the Lee’s Summit High School located east of the intersection of SE 8th Street and SE Browning Avenue. Two water main breaks occurred in front of the high school during the spring of 2017 causing service disruptions. The Water Utilities Department directed Staff to add the high school water main to the current project. Work to replace water mains along SE Green Street south of 7th Street, SE 7th Terrace east of Green Street and SE 8th Street west of SE Browning Avenue began June 7, 2017. In order to avoid delaying the contractor to approve this change order or paying the Contractor to remobilize equipment to replace the high school water main, Staff is requesting an expedited approval of this change order.
