Title

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Terminal 4 Fire Pump and Service Entrance Section Replacement - Construction Manager at Risk Services Amendment - AV21000107 (Ordinance S-52405) - District 8

 

Description

Request to authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute an amendment to Agreement 157883 with CHASSE Building Team, Inc. to provide additional Construction Manager at Risk Services for the  project. Further request to authorize execution of amendments to the Agreement as necessary within the Council-approved expenditure authority as provided below, and for the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The additional fee for services included in the amendment will not exceed $13,120,000.

 

Report

Summary

The purpose of the project is to replace and upgrade the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Terminal 4 processor fire pump and the connected service entrance section electrical equipment to support the existing and new fire pump loads and to comply with fire and electrical code requirements. A study of the existing Terminal 4 protection system, prepared by SmithGroup, Inc. as part of the construction of new Terminal 4 South Concourse 1, found that the existing fire pump currently serving Terminal 4 needs to be replaced. In addition, the 30-year old electrical service needs to be upgraded to accommodate the new fire pumps.

 

The amendment is necessary to cover the balance of the project scope of work, including the installation of long lead electrical equipment, installation of temporary power service required to maintain Terminal 4 operations throughout construction, and for electrical work associated with Arizona Public Service equipment upgrade. The amendment will provide additional funds to the Agreement.

 

Contract Term

The term of the Agreement remains unchanged from the issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Work scope identified and incorporated into the Agreement prior to the end of the term may be agreed to by the parties, and work may extend past the termination of the Agreement. No additional changes may be executed after the end of the term.

  • The amendment will increase the cost of the Agreement by an additional $13,120,000, for a new total amount not to exceed $18,597,344, including all subcontractor and reimbursable costs.
