OVERVIEW STATEMENT:

recommendation

Public Works is requesting approval of the final contract and accept construction for the Wastewater Pump Station 12 Replacement project (No. 1129-404-03). The contract with James W. Fowler Co. had a base bid amount of $2,797,311, plus change orders and bid items increases or decreases, resulting in a final contract amount of $3,758,353. The project replaced the aging pump station with a larger pump station equipped to handle the increased needs of the rezoned Marymoor subarea.

If yes, explain:

An additional $917,251 is needed for the increased pump station cost.  This added cost will be covered through savings on other lift station projects within the Wastewater CIP.  The cost will be covered through the unallocated fund balance within the Wastewater CIP.  It is anticipated that most of the increased cost will be recovered through special connection fees assigned to each benefited property and collected at the time the property redevelops.
