Agenda Item Brief:

Consideration and possible approval of a change order to the contract with Spanish Springs Construction for additional work on the “A” Street Alley Sewer Rehabilitation Project. Change order in the amount of $67,700. Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA) is requesting to replace an aging water main within the limits of our project. Work includes construction of a 6” water main and tie ins. TMWA and the City have an inter-local cooperative agreement for consideration under separate Council action, for TMWA to reimburse the City for this additional work. Staff recommends approval.



Background:

The City’s “A” Street Alley Sewer Rehabilitation Project is being constructed by Spanish Springs Construction and includes the removal and replacement of an aged sanitary sewer main along with the replacement of the asphalt alley structural section with a reinforced concrete section. This project is currently under construction.  Before the alley’s concrete section is replaced, Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA) needs to replace some of their infrastructure located in the vicinity. Their plans include constriction of a 6” water main and connection to existing service laterals. TMWA and the City have prepared an inter-local cooperative reimbursement agreement for consideration under a separate item, for TMWA to reimburse the City for this additional work. Inclusion of this work in the change order eliminates the need for TMWA to complete the work at a later time.



Analysis:

This change order is due to TMWA needing to replace some of their infrastructure in the middle of the City’s “A” Street Alley Sewer Rehabilitation Project. Spanish Springs Construction quoted the additional work for a change order of $67,700 and TMWA agreed to that price through an inter-local agreement for reimbursement to the City.



Alternatives:
  1. City Council could approve the change order to the “A” Street Alley Sewer Rehabilitation Project as outlined by Staff.
  2. City Council could reject the change order to the “A” Street Alley Sewer Rehabilitation Project and provide direction to the City Manager.


Recommended Motion:

I move to approve a change order to the contract with Spanish Springs Construction as outlined by Staff.
