Explanation
§ The contract provides for planned, unplanned, and critical repairs to the water distribution and sanitary sewer collection systems.
§ This change order is necessary to allow the contractor to continue with planned work under the contract. A large portion of the contract was utilized for an unforeseen event after a fiber contractor caused a 24-inch water main along Mallard Creek Church Road to rupture (Council District 4). The water main needed to be repaired immediately due to major impacts to traffic flow and water services in the area.
§ On July 24, 2017, City Council approved a contract with State Utility Contractors, Inc. for water and sanitary sewer system repairs.
§ The new total value of the contract is $12,418,640.89.
