Report
Summary
The purpose of this project is to supply water in north Phoenix in the event there are restrictions placed on Colorado River water delivered through the Central Arizona Project. The City of Phoenix treats Colorado River water at the Union Hills and Lake Pleasant Water Treatment Plants (WTPs), which supply water to north Phoenix.
This amendment is necessary to proceed with construction of a new 66-inch pipeline from the 24th Street WTP to water infrastructure in north Phoenix to allow for the delivery of Salt and Verde River water into north Phoenix. Scope of services will include installation of the 66-inch pipeline and corresponding activities in this segment, and construction of a relief sewer parallel to the 66-inch pipeline on 32nd Street. This amendment will provide additional funds to the agreement.
Sundt will be responsible for construction means and methods related to the project and fulfilling the Small Business Enterprise program requirements. Sundt will be required to solicit bids from pre-qualified subcontractors and to perform the work using the City’s subcontractor selection process. Sundt may also compete to self-perform limited amounts of work.
This Agreement is essential to the health, safety, and welfare of the public and critical operations for the City.
Contract Term
The term of the agreement amendment is for two years from 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 was authorized for an amount not to exceed $15 million.
