There are available funds for this change order in the Water and Sewer Fund, Public Works - Water, Water Distribution, Capital Improvements, account no. 5040-43730-777-570707 which has $711,106 available to fund the $14,165 cost of this change order.
Background
The Watermain Valve Replacement project is currently nearing completion and due to unforeseen conditions the project will be over the awarded contract amount of $120,250 by $14,165 and adjusts the final contract amount to $134,415.
During construction potential soil contamination was discovered at multiple locations which required additional costs for soil disposal. The work to dispose of the contaminated soil was authorized during construction in order to ensure that contaminated soils would not stay stockpiled on streets longer than needed and to ensure that lane closures and work on major roadways for the valve replacements could be completed in a timely fashion and roads reopened. The additional costs to dispose of the contaminated soils is $5,215. At the time that staff authorized these additional costs it was assumed that the remainder of the project would be able to be completed without additional change orders and would not require Village Board authorization of increased costs per the Village's Purchasing Policy.
