Subject: North Seward Water System Improvements Project
______________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
To date, Peninsula Construction, Inc. is right on schedule with the North Seward Water
System Improvements Project with no cost over runs anticipated. The City of Seward
has received a $396,600 grant from ADEC, along with the City’s matching
portion of $169,950.00 for this project. (Resolution 2002-087) Peninsula Construction,
Inc. was awarded this project with a bid of $348,382.49. (Resolution 2004-54)
A proposed 700 feet of 10 inch Water Main on Hemlock Street from Afognak Avenue to
Oak Street is recommended, and has already been designed (original route). ADEC
has accepted this additional work as a change order to the original “Approval to
Construct” certificate. CRW Engineering (project engineers), ADEC, and city staff feel
that increased fire flows to the middle school warrant this additional infrastructure
construction. This work will form a “loop” which is always the preferred method of water
main installation.
Peninsula Construction, Inc. has agreed to do this additional work at the same unit price
that they have in their original bid. The cost of this additional work will be $63,000,
which would include a 15% Construction Contingency and 10% Construction
Administration.
The Water Department will also recover dollars spent on the design of the original
project route due to ADEC’s policy of paying only for one design of a project.
