Title

Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an amendment to Agreement 144498 with Otto Trucking, Inc to provide additional funding to the contract. Further request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The additional expenditures will not exceed $900,000.
Report
Summary
Request additional payment authority of $900,000 for Agreement 144498, for hauling water sludge for the Water Services Department. Sludge is produced at the Water Production Plants and Otto Trucking is responsible for sludge and bar screen conveyor screenings removal and disposal services.
This amendment is necessary because weather and water quality have created a high volume of sludge removal which has resulted in spending approximately 50 percent more than the annual estimate.
Financial Impact
- The initial agreement for Hauling Water Sludge services was authorized for a fee not-to-exceed $3,055,825.
- This amendment will increase the agreement by an additional $900,000, for a new total not-to-exceed agreement value of $3,955,825, including all subcontractor and reimbursable costs.
Funding for this amendment is available in the Water Services Department's Operating budget.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The City Council approved Hauling Water Sludge Agreement 144498 (Ordinance S-43120) on Dec. 14, 2016.
