Body
SUMMARY:
A concrete floor slab at the East Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) Rotary Drum Thickener (RDT) building has deteriorated to a level requiring repairs. The City engaged an Engineer of Record to prepare repair documents and solicit bids.
January 15, 2020, City Manager approved a construction contract to Paramount Painting & Services, Inc for structural restoration in the amount of $59,435 awarded to this contractor under Bid #18-0016-UT, East WRF RDT Building Condition Assessment.
June 4, 2020, City Council approved Change Order One for additional structural reinforcement and shoring to address accelerated deterioration of structural supports in the amount of $72,145.
Change Order Two is to address unforeseen full depth concrete structural deterioration to the concrete floor slab discovered during demolition and to relocate electrical conduits that were not anticipated to be in the old floor slab. This project has encountered more unforeseen issues than typical restoration. It is challenging to accurately ascertain condition of concrete due to available test methods, as well as inaccessibility to critical portions of the building and rapid deterioration.
Due to the significant scope increase, the contractor reduced original unit prices on the most used line items.
