Analysis
On August 6, 2019 the City Council awarded a professional Engineering contract with Freese and Nichols, Inc. (19-9127) for design of sanitary sewer improvement of Loyd Park loops A, F and G and electrical improvement for loops A, F, G and B.
On January 7, 2020 the City Council awarded a construction contract to Gra-Tex Utilities in the amount of $2,558,259 for sanitary sewer and electrical improvements at Loyd Park; material testing with Kleinfelder Consultants in the amount of $23,513; contract contingency in the amount of $127,913; In-house labor distribution in the amount of $127,913 for a total project cost of $2,837,598.
Base Bid included Wastewater and Electrical Improvements for Loops A, F and G with Aluminum conductor and Coated Manholes.
• Alternate A is a product alternate bid for uncoated manholes with a microbiological additive.This ended up being a cost savings of $32,780 when compared to the Base Bid of coated manholes for the amount of $316,300 and therefore, is recommended to be included.
• Alternate B is for the electrical improvements only for Loop B and is not recommended to be included as it would have exceeded the budgeted amount.
• Alternate C is a product alternate cost for the upgrade from aluminum conductor to copper conductor and is not recommended to be included as it would have exceeded the budgeted amount.
• Alternate D is for the addition of installing the cable in conduit in lieu of direct bury cabling and is recommended to be included due to long term maintenance and operations benefits.
These improvements provide for 5200 linear feet of 6" Wastewater Main, and Service connections for all pad sites in loops A, F and G; they also provide for Electrical system upgrades for Loops A, F & G including 20A, 30A and 50A, 120V receptacles at each Camp site. The proposed upgrades include replacing the existing transformers and distribution panels serving the campsites in order to accommodate increased load
Construction was anticipated to start in Late January 2020 with completion on or before May 20, 2020. However, due to the delay caused by the Corps' prolonged regulatory review of the improvements with Loyd Park, construction is delayed.
Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $65,290 allows for the additional handling and storage of materials associated with the delay. The change order also includes work that will have to be re-accomplished in order to allow the Park to utilize the loops planned for improvements during the Summer busy season.
Construction is anticipated to start back in November 2020 with completion on or before April 2021.
