Analysis
The interior location of the aquatic chemical storage had caused corrosive damage to occur within the existing storage and adjacent electrical and pumping rooms. Staff evaluated a series of designs and determined that an exterior pre-engineered semi-enclosed structure (roofed) would be the most feasible and economical approach to replacement.
On October 15, 2019, City Council awarded a construction contract to Falkenberg Construction in the amount of $70,340.00 for demolition and construction of the new canopy. Once final engineering was completed by the secondary vendor’s (Site Source) engineer, it was determined that soils were unstable, requiring soil stabilization. It was initially presented to City Council as being sourced through our interlocal agreement with TXMAS, however, due to an inability to validate pricing through TXMAS, City Staff is requesting the procurement source be changed to be through our interlocal agreement with Choice Partners; the pricing book remains the same (RS Means) and our quoted estimate will remain the same.
Change Order/Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $26,285 will allow for the labor, material & equipment for Soil Potassium Chemical Injection required for structure stabilization.
