Report
Summary
The purpose of the Program is to extend the service life of these assets, minimize water loss, and protect water quality and public health using a proactive approach. There are 42 steel tanks located at 33 different sites serving as potable water storage/pressure surge protection facilities within the City's water production and distribution system. The project includes maintaining the coating and structural integrity of these steel tanks, enhancing water quality (recirculation systems, mixing, disinfection system upgrades, etc.) associated with the steel tank sites, and providing site-related improvements including, but not limited to, erosion repair and upgrading fencing.
This amendment is necessary to expand the Construction Services for this Program to include Group J in the scope of the project for Fiscal Year 2018-19.
Felix's initial services for Group J will include preparation of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposal for the Construction Services provided under the agreement and participating with the City in a process to set a local and Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for the project. Felix will be responsible for construction means and methods related to the project and fulfilling the SBE program requirements. Felix will be required to solicit bids from prequalified subcontractors and to perform the work using the City's subcontractor selection process. Felix may also compete to self-perform limited amounts of work.
Felix's services for Group J include, but are not limited to: performing the designated rehabilitation of the reservoir tank and the surrounding site; replacing of tank fixtures and appurtenances; installation of new gates, and crack sealing asphalt.

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.
