11.H.2. SOUTH WIl"ROW DRIVE WATER MAIN CONFLICT - SEBASTIAN DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS - DRIVEWAYS. INC. The Board reviewed a Memorandum of March 2, 1998: DATE: MARCH 2, 1998 TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR FROM: DONALD R. HUBBS, P.E. DIRECTOR OF UTILITY SERVICES PREPARED MICHAEL C. HOTCHKISS, P.E. AND STAFFED ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER BY: DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES SUBJECT: SOUTH WIMBROW DRIVE WATER MAIN CONFLICT WITH SEBASTIAN DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. UW -98 -04 -DS BACKGROUND On February 10, 1998, the Board of County Commissioners authorized Driveways, Inc. to relocate a water main to accomodate the City of Sebastian's replacement of a drainage culvert pipe underneath South Wimbrow Drive (see attached copy of meeting minutes). Construction of the project is now complete. The Department of Utility Services is now requesting approval for final payment to the contractor. ANALYSIS The attached invoice is for $4,896.41 and represents 100% of the labor contract amount. The contractor encountered a smaller than anticipated water main once the pipe was exposed, resulting in slightly lower labor cost savings. However, those savings were offset by more stringent hardships due to additional dewatering. There was a total of $1,955.63 in material charged to the project (see attached invoice from U.S. Filter). The total project cost including $500.00 for engineering and administration is $7,352.04 resulting in a $5,269.67 cost savings from the originally approved estimated contract amount of $12,621.71. Utilities staff is prepared to make final payment in the amount of $4,896.41. RECOMMENDATION The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends approval of final payment to Driveways, Inc. in the amount of $4,896.41. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously approved the final payment to Driveways, Inc. in the amount of $4,896.41, as recommended by staff.
