BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The project was awarded to A. Teichert and Son, Inc., of Roseville, on March 7, 2012, in the amount of $4,199,640. The contract has been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and specifications approved by City Council. The project consisted of the installation of 2,091 meters and the replacement of 25,895 feet (4.90 miles) of water main. The contract completion date was October 24, 2012 and the actual completion date was November 27, 2012. The completion date was extended due to rain days, added work, and unforeseen field conditions. The final contract price was $5,503,697. The difference between the contract amount and the final contract price is $1,304,057 due to the following changes and change orders. a. Variations in the units constructed from the units bid. The greatest change occurred in the additional asphalt concrete bid items in the amount of $609,585. b. Change Order Nos. 1, 2 and 3 addressed additional work associated with unforeseen field conditions and existing utility conflicts in the amount of $127,270. c. Change Order No. 4 added work to repave two alleys between Lincoln Avenue, California Street, Daisy Avenue and Louie Avenue in the amount of $219,554. d. Change Order Nos. 5 and 6 addressed extra work associated with unforeseen field conditions and existing utility conflicts in the amount of $123,316 and added paving on Eureka Avenue, Palm Avenue and Louie Avenue in the amount of $234,601. e. Change Order No. 8 addressed extra work associated with unforeseen field work and existing utility conflicts in the amount of $84,530 and final agreement on payment for disputed extra work in the amount of $50,000. Additional asphalt concrete work constituted $1,151,238 of the total contract price. These funds we used to widen the trench patch where new pipelines were constructed, repair failed pavement sections in many of the same areas, and repair pavement damage caused by the heavy construction equipment.

This level of change order cost is not unexpected for construction of new pipelines within very old streets where utility information is not well documented. The final project cost including construction, construction management, meter purchases, and staff time is approximately $6,635,600 and this is below the estimate included in the water rate model of $7,035,000. Following acceptance by the City Council, as required by law, the City Engineer will file a Notice of Completion with the County Recorder's office. The notice serves to notify vendors and subcontractors that the project is complete and begins their 30 -day period to file a stop notice requiring the City to withhold payments from the prime contractor in the event of a payment dispute. FISCAL IMPACT: Water main leak and service repairs will be reduced. No additional costs will be incurred for reading of the meters as they are automatically read concurrent with the reading of the electric meters.
