RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE a payment limit increase in the amount of $20,000 for the construction contract with SMP Services, Inc. for the Upper Sand Creek Basin Wetland Restoration Project for a new payment limit of $193,846, effective January 20, 2015, as recommended by the Chief Engineer, Antioch area, and


APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, or designee to execute Contract Change Order No. 3 with SMP Services, Inc., effective January 20, 2015, in an amount not to exceed $13,769.00. Project No. 7562-6D8518-13.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Project is being funded by 100% Drainage Area 130 Funds.

BACKGROUND:

To increase the species diversity and to replace plantings that died in the 2014 drought at Upper Sand Creek Basin Wetlands Restoration Project, additional plantings are required. This change will allow the installation of additional species and replacement plants. The payment limit is being increased from $173,846 to a new payment limit of $193,846. The increase in the contingency fund from $35,804 to $55,804 is necessary to compensate the contractor for replacement items.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The lack of approval would prevent successful completion of this contract and prevent the contractor from being compensated for additional costs.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
