PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
Staff is requesting that the City Council consider authorizing and executing a Contract Amendment for Professional Services with HDR Engineering to provide additional construction administration services for W.O. 12-43 Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Backup Power Phase III. The purpose of this project is to provide backup power and electrical upgrades to the Voelker, Willett, Chapple, Staples, and Leavens Pump Stations in the City's water distribution system.
HDR is under contract to provide part time inspection, which is typical for these types of electrical projects. However, change orders and contractor coordination has taken considerably more time than anticipated, which has required HDR to provide closer to full-time construction inspection. This contract amendment adds the additional inspection time needed for HDR to provide construction inspection for the remainder of the project.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may:
- Approve the Contract Amendment No. 3 with HDR Engineering in the amount of $11,700; or;
- Disapprove Contract Amendment No. 3 with HDR Engineering. If the contract amendment is not approved, then adequate construction inspection will not be provided.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds for Contract Amendment No. 3 are available from Water Funds budgeted in FY15. If approved, the Professional Services Contract with HDR Engineering will total $165,700.00.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council authorize W.O. 12-43 Contract Amendment No. 3 with HDR Engineering in the amount of $11,700.00
