STATEMENT OF ISSUE
The adoption of the resolution accepts the Waterman Pipeline Relocation Project (Project) as complete.
DISCUSSION
On October 15, 2024, the City adopted Resolution 2024-244 approving a contract with Perennial Construction, Inc. to relocate an existing 12-inch water main at the Waterman Water Treatment Plant to make way for a new emergency generator pad in preparation for the fut ure High Lift Pump & Power Upgrade Project. The Project consisted of relocating the 12 -inch water main, removing and disposing of the existing asbestos cement pipe, and installing a new 30 -inch butterfly valve.
Construction work for the Project began on December 2, 2024. Four change orders and one administrative change order were executed during constructio n for this Project, resulting in a total adjustment of $38,632.07 . These change orders included the removal and replacement of a 12-inch water valve , gaskets, and hardwar e; additional material and welding needed to complete the 30-inch buried service butterfly valve cut in; price differences from switching to 4- inch blowoff valves and pressure test equipment required by the City of Fairfield’s Public Works Utilities Division; and a track steer rental to spread grindings on the graded 12 -foot wide road next to the new water line. An administrative change order was completed to reconcile the
extension of quantities of 12-inch PVC pipes. The final punch list was completed on January 10, 2025.
The construction authorization for the Project was approved for $346,061. This amount included a total bid of $ 288,384 and a 20% contingency of $ 57,677. The final cost for the Project was $327,016.07, which is approximately 5.5% below the amount authorized for construction.
Following the council's acceptance of the project as complete, a notice of completion will be filed with the County of Solano’s Recorders Office.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Expenses for ongoing maintenance of the pipelines associated with the Project will be managed by the Waterman Water Treatment Plant and funded by the Water Enterprise fund.
