BACKGROUND:
On February 23, 2023, the Mayor and City Council awarded a Contract for the Lead Service Line Replacement Phase 4 Contract, in the amount of $1,051,700.25, to Stip Bros. Excavating, Inc., based on the Unit Prices provided in their bid. The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
CONCLUSION:
Change Order No. 1, for a net increase in the amount of $111,800.00, is based on the projected additional quantities of pay items to be installed to complete lead service line replacements. The goal of the Phase 4 Lead Service Line Replacement Program is to address lead water services disturbed during leak repair and lead water services identified during the inventory process but not disturbed. This contract is generally an on-call contract to replace lead services as they are identified in the field and therefore additional pay items for project management, water service connections, meter relocations, and restoration are required to complete the replacements. The quantities and pricing have been verified to be accurate and per the terms of the contract.
Sufficient funds are available for this project in the IEPA Loan Fund / Lead Service Line Replacement Phase 4 (Org 53680000, Object 557200, $111,800.00). The City has received loan funding that is eligible for principal forgiveness for this project from the IEPA State Revolving Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
Based on the above, it is recommended that the Mayor and City Council approve Change Order No. 1 to the Lead Service Line Replacement Phase 4 Contract, in the amount of $111,800.00, to Stip Bros. Excavating, Inc.
