Explanation
* Charlotte Water has multiple contracts in place to respond to emergencies in the sanitary sewer system; however due to the unpredictable nature of emergencies, costs may from time to time exceed remaining contract capacity.
* On March 23, 2015, City Council awarded a contract for $818,146.16 with up to two renewals to Atlantic Coast Contractors Inc. for Sewer Repairs and Replacement. The first renewal for $852,099.23 was executed on October 5, 2016. The second renewal for $878,116.27 was executed on September 14, 2017.
* On October 23, 2017, a severe storm caused a 36-inch sewer line to break when the stream bank along Mallard Creek suffered severe erosion. The result was a 4.8 million gallon sanitary sewer overflow into Mallard Creek. City crews responded quickly but the repair and restoration of the streambank required a major construction effort which was expedited by the Sewer Repairs and Replacement Contract.
* This change order is needed to cover costs associated with the emergency repair work performed by the contractor which included building an access road, pumping the sewer flow around the repair, making the repair and restoring the banks of the creek. This construction lasted more than a month due to difficult access and the specialized materials required. The cost of the emergency repair for this line was $900,000, which exhausted the current Sewer Repair and Replacement contract.
* With this change order the new total value of the contract is $3,048,361.66.
