Memorandum
This memorandum and resolution requests approval of Change Order No. 3 with Fonson Company, Inc. (Fonson), for the Water Treatment Plant Lime Residual Removal Contract No. 1 - Site Modifications in the amount of $310,491.75.

This first phase (Contract 1) consists of the site modifications needed at the lagoon site and at the Water Treatment Plant site to facilitate the dredging, pumping, dewatering, and hauling that will occur in the second phase of the project (Contract 2). These contracts will remove a significant volume of residuals from the lagoon to increase storage capacity.

The additional contract work includes installing a junction box to allow an electrical connection for Contract 2 work, and installation of fencing along a portion of the west property line to ensure site security and safety. Change Order No. 3 work also includes final restoration efforts upon completion of Contract 2 to replace the 30-year-old pavement in the parking lot where dewatering and hauling operations will be staged.

The total change order amount is $310,491.75, which exceeds the contingency originally approved by Council ($39,000.00) This Change Order will bring the total contract amount to $731,308.60.

Budget/Fiscal Impact: The Water Treatment Plant Lime Residual Removal project has been identified in the Capital Improvements Plan (UT-WS-16-18.) Funding for this project is available in the approved FY26 Water Supply System Capital Budget.
