CC Regular Session 5. 14. Meeting Date: 10/25/2022 By: Bruce Westby, Engineering/Public Works Information Title Adopt Resolution #22-246 Approving Change Order #1 for Improvement Project #22-10, Public Works Salt Shed Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #22-246 approving Change Order #1 for Improvement Project #22-10, Public Works Salt Shed. Background: While constructing the new salt shed at Public Works it was discovered that the underlying soils needed soil corrections, which were not identified within the plans and specifications. The underlying soils were found to have numerous decaying tree stumps embedded within the soils, as well as significant pockets of organic soils, which would not adequately support the salt shed structure. Soils borings were not completed within the footprint of the salt shed prior to design and preparation of plans and specifications because the soil borings completed with the Public Works Facility project did not indicate that any soils on site would require soils corrections. Therefore, the plans and specifications did not account for any soil corrections. Attached is a copy of Change Order #1, which identifies all of the soil correction quantities and costs, which total $27,420. City Council approval of this change order is being requested after -the -fact as the soils corrections work was completed in advance of receiving City Council approval of Change Order #1 to allow construction of the salt shed to continue unimpeded so the salt shed will be operational in time for its intended use this winter. The City Engineer will sign the Change Order following City Council approval. Notification: Notifications are not required for this case. Observations/Alternatives: Alternative #1 - Adopt Resolution #22-246 approving Change Order #1 for Improvement Project #22-10, Public Works Salt Shed. Recommendation: Staff recommends adopting Resolution #22-246 approving Change Order #1 for Improvement Project #22-10, Public Works Salt Shed. Action: Adopt Resolution #22-246 approving Change Order #1 for Improvement Project #22-10, Public Works Salt Shed.
