Title
Resolution to Approve Change Order No. 1 to the S. Ashley, S. Main & Londonderry Water Main Construction Contract with Bricco Excavating Company, LLC. for the Installation of Water Mains at Washtenaw Ave and N. Fourth Ave ($296,113.00)
Memorandum
Attached please find a resolution approving Change Order No. 1 to Bricco Excavating Company, LLC. in the amount of $296,113.00. This change order authorizes the installation of a new water main at Washtenaw Ave, and the replacement of the existing water main at N. Fourth Ave.
Washtenaw Avenue Water Main
This work includes the installation of 720 feet of new 6 inch water main along Washtenaw Avenue between Glenwood Road and Arlington Blvd. The new water main will allow for a connection between the existing mains at Glenwood Road and Arlington Blvd. This connection will provide the opportunity for the redistribution of water pressure in the area and will improve the water flow for fire protection. This work is estimated at $86,675.00.
Fourth Avenue Water Main
In the winter of 2009 we learned about a property at Fourth Ave with low water pressure. After investigation we realized that the existing 4-inch water main at Fourth Ave is inadequate and must be replaced.
The proposed change order includes $209,438.00 for the installation of a new 12-inch water main at Fourth Avenue from Huron St. to Washington St. Restoration of the water main trench will also repair Fourth Ave pavement in the northbound lane from Washington Street to Huron Street.
The change order for the water main installation at Washtenaw Ave and at Fourth Ave will be funded from the Water System Operating Fund pending the sale of bonds. Bricco Excavating Company, L.L.C. received Human Rights approval on March 16, 2009. Employees working on this project will be paid prevailing wages (which exceed the “living wage”) per the contract. The water main installation will begin in 2009 after the approval of this change order.
