Title

Water Production Wells and Aquifer Storage and Recovery Wells Phase II - Construction Manager at Risk Construction Services Amendment - WS85010054, WS85010052 and WS85010045 (Ordinance S-51617) - Citywide

 

Description

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an amendment to Agreement 151455 with Felix Construction Company to provide additional Construction Manager at Risk Construction Services for the Water Production Wells and Aquifer Storage and Recovery Wells Phase II 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 this amendment will not exceed $17,360,000.

 

Report

Summary

The purpose of this project is to augment Phoenix's potable water resources during times of long-term water shortages, emergency outages, and meeting potable system demand balancing.

 

This amendment is necessary because of increased scope of work to meet agency requirements and higher than anticipated budgeted cost due to the escalation in materials and labor cost for the project. This amendment will provide additional funds and time to the agreement.

 

Contract Term

The term of the agreement amendment is five years 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.

 

Financial Impact

  • The initial agreement for Construction Manager at Risk Construction Services was approved for an amount not to exceed $225,000, including all subcontractor and reimbursable costs.
  • An amendment increased the agreement by $3,150,000, for a new total amount not to exceed $3,375,000.
  • This amendment will increase the agreement by an additional $17,360,000 for a new total amount not to exceed $20,735,000, including all subcontractor and reimbursable costs.

 

Funding for this amendment is available in the Water Services Department's Capital Improvement Program budget. The Budget and Research Department will separately review and approve funding availability prior to the execution of any amendments. Payments may be made up to agreement limits for all rendered agreement services, which may extend past the agreement termination.
