PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
City Council will consider Amendment No. 4 to Sanderson Stewart's Professional Engineering Services (PES) contract with the City for Schedule 1 of the 2014 Water Main Replacement and Storm Drain Projects. The net result of Amendment No. 4 is an estimated $10,800.00 increase to the contract price to a total of $769,602.18. Since the original contract price is $672,740.00, Amendment No. 4 results in an overall contract price increase of 14.4%.
Council approved previous Contract Amendments No. 2 and 3 for additional design and engineering of storm sewer improvements in Grand Avenue between 19th and 21st Street West. The extent of associated additional inspection services required during storm drain construction was not contemplated with those previous amendments; therefore, an additional $10,800.00 (120 hours) of engineering inspection services, primarily for night work, is requested with Amendment No. 4.

ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
The Council may:
- Approve Amendment No. 4 to the Sanderson Stewart PES contract for W.O. 14-01, Schedule 1, Water Main Replacement and Storm Drain Projects in the amount of $10,800.00; or
- Disapprove Amendment No. 4. If the amendment is not approved, staff will need to reassess the remaining work items to determine scope reductions that can be made. This will probably result in record drawings not being completed for the project.
