ITEM 5: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A REQUEST
FOR APPROVAL OF CHANGE ORDER #2 A CHANGE ORDER TO A
CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY OF OWASSO AND CROSSLAND HEAVY
CONTRACTORS COLUMBUS KS FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT
PLANT PHASE IIA IMPROVEMENTS.
Mr Carr presented the item. He said that a construction contract was awarded to Crossland
Heavy Contractors on March 7, 2000 in the amount of $1,965,950 for Phase IIA Improvements
at the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Improvements consist of constricting a new sludge digester
and belt filter press and modifications to the plant headworks, ultraviolet disinfection and Main
Lift Station. Funding for the project was obtained through a loan in the amount of $2,581,100
from the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. Change Order #1 in the amount of $29,296.45 was
approved on September 19, 2000. Change Order #2 has been submitted for approval to retrofit
the old existing wet well with two submersible pumps. Work includes purchase and installation
of two new pumps, two aluminum hatches, one valve vault, one manhole, miscellaneous piping,
and demolition. Total cost of the work is $97,687. In addition, Crossland has requested an
additional 30 days added to the contract. This will eliminate the problem of bypasses in the
vicinity of the Main Lift Station. A letter has been received from OWRB indicating that,
although the work proposed under Change Order #2 was not identified in the planning
documents, work done on the treatment plant site for the purpose of eliminating overflows and
surchanges is within an eligible category. The project budget will be modified to reflect a
change in project contingencies and a modification to the construction line item in an amount
equal to the amount of the change order. Mr Brogdon moved, seconded by Ms Voss, to approve
Change Order #2, adding $97,687 to the cost of the above -mentioned project for the purpose of
main lift station modifications as listed, and an increase in the contract time of 30 days.
