You will notice that Item No. 33 on the reconciliation sheet <br />(12 -inch diameter force main) is an installation cost only. The <br />contractor can no longer purchase the 12 -inch PVC at the original <br />contract price due to the volatile PVC market. For example, <br />originally he was able to supply the pipe for $7.57/LF; his new cost <br />would be $10.23/LF. This would equate to a contract increase of <br />$17,795.40 for the pipe cost.alone. The Utilities Department can -- <br />purchase the same pipe under its unit contract with Davis Meter at <br />$8.75/LF, which equates to a cost of $58,537.50, or a cost savings <br />of $9,901.20, compared to the contract purchase price. Item No. 37 <br />on the change order reconciliation sheet is for the installation of <br />materials purchased from the West Regional Force Main contract <br />previously in front of the Board. The additional total cost to this <br />project is as follows: <br />1. Additional Engineering $ 2,900.00 <br />2. Change Order No. 1 with Speegle 13,779.43 <br />3. County purchase of 12 -inch PVC (6690 LF) 52,537.50 <br />4.* County purchase of pipe from West Regional 4.950.00 <br />Force Main Project <br />Total additional project cost $80,166.93 <br />* Approval requested under previous agenda item before the BCC. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends approval <br />of the following: <br />1. Addendum No. 1 with Masteller and Moler, Inc., in the amount of <br />$2,900.00. <br />2. Change Order No. 1 with Speegle Construction in the amount of - <br />$13,779.43. <br />3. Approval to purchase 6,690 LF of 12 -inch PVC from Davis Meter <br />in the amount of $58,537.50. <br />Commissioner Adams questioned why Masteller & Moler would do <br />this for below what it would cost them, and Bill McCain, capital <br />project engineer, explained that we have a good working <br />relationship with Masteller & Moler who felt the engineering fees <br />were fair given the amount of work to be done. We did negotiate <br />that cost with them. <br />Commissioner Adams also questioned the purchase of the 12 -inch <br />PVC because she remembered that we just purchased some 12 -inch <br />pipe. <br />Mr. McCain explained that we recently purchased 24 -inch pipe <br />and associated pieces from the JoBear contract at the west county <br />wastewater treatment facility and that pipe will be installed as <br />part of this .change order. <br />Commissioner Macht understood that this work is directly <br />related to the fact that this plant has much more capacity than it <br />is using, and Mr. McCain replied affirmatively. <br />33 <br />L_OCT -51993 <br />BOOK 90 F -AGE 702 <br />
