Body
BACKGROUND
On June 23, 2021, the City Council authorized a contract with Estrada Concrete Company, LLC, for the installation of water and wastewater mains at 14 locations by Resolution No. 21-1141. During construction, unforeseen hard rock was encountered requiring a special excavator in the easement east of University Hills Boulevard from Runyon Creek Green Belt to University Hills Boulevard. In addition, after award of the construction contract it was determined that a new wastewater main was necessary within Timberloam Drive to extend service as part of the Unserved Areas Program. The original contract only included replacement of the existing water main in Timberloam Drive from St. Augustine Drive west.
This action will authorize Change Order No. 1 to the construction services contract with Estrada Concrete Company, LLC for additional work associated with wastewater main installations in the easement east of University Hills Boulevard and in Timberloam Drive. The wastewater extension in Timberloam will include approximately 1,200 feet of 8-inch diameter wastewater main utilizing ARPA Funds designated to extend water and wastewater services to unserved areas. The change order will also add contract days to account for delays outside of the contractor's control including changes in field conditions, additional design work, and easement acquisition.
The completion of wastewater main construction near University Hill Boulevard and the installation of a wastewater main in Timberloam Drive are necessary to further the goal of the Unserved Areas Program to improve equity and provide service to all residents. Inclusion of the wastewater main extension at Timberloam Drive along with previously scheduled water main replacement construction work will lessen the impact of a later construction disruption to residents and prevent replacement of new pavement.
