Mr. Richard Lanyon, Executive Director
Title
Authorization to increase cost estimate for Contract 06-363-3D Gloria Alitto Majewski Reservoir Repair and Rehabilitation, North Side Service Area, from $6,500,000.00 to $8,700,000.00, Account 401-50000-645720
Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to increase the cost estimate for Contract 06-363-3D Gloria Alitto Majewski Reservoir Repair and Rehabilitation, North Side Service Area, from $6,500,000.00 to $8,700,000.00.
The authority to add this contract under the Capital Improvements Program and Capital Improvements Bond Fund was obtained at the Board Meeting of March 6, 2008.
The contract was initiated to repair and rehabilitate the subject reservoir to ensure its proper operation. It has experienced local failures in the drainage system, side slopes, and liner. Major repair and rehabilitation work is necessary to restore the integrity of the reservoir.
The increase in cost is due to development of the contract scope from preliminary evaluation to final design. After in-depth evaluation of the reservoir followed by identification of the specific materials and methods of repair and rehabilitation work, the estimated contract cost increased from the originally estimated repair cost.
It is hereby recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to increase the cost estimate for Contract 06-363-3D from $6,500,000.00 to $8,700,000.00.
Funds are available in Account 401-50000-645720.
Requested, Kenneth A. Kits, Director of Engineering, TEK:GR
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for December 16, 2010
