Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Quantity Adjustment/Change Order No. 1 with Fuquay, Inc. for the Cycle 3 - Basins 4 and 5 Manhole Rehabilitation Project.
Body
The City of Round Rock is required to continue our Wastewater Collection System Rehabilitation program in order to comply with the Texas Commission the Environmental Quality's (TCEQ) Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone Protection Program. This project requires that wastewater collection systems located over the Edwards Aquifer be inspected and rehabilitated every five years. The elimination of defects will not only help to protect the Edwards Aquifer, but will also reduce inflow and infiltration entering the City's wastewater collection system, thereby reducing the City's treatment cost. The City has completed the inspection of 14 sub-basins to determine areas that require rehabilitation for this project.
Recent inspections of Basins 4 and 5 have indicated deteriorating conditions of some manholes located within the basins. Deteriorating manholes can lead to infiltration of water into the wastewater line, and if left untreated, the failure of the manhole. This project consists of the extensive rehabilitation of 50 manholes, which will restore the service life of the manholes and wastewater basin. The department used the Buy Board to contract with Fuquay, Inc. for this project in the amount of $410,640.40 which was awarded on March 26, 2024.
Our Utility team has identified three additional structures for rehabilitation and requested for them to be added for repair to the project. This Quantity Adjustment / Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $63,076.00 will add the rehabilitation and coating of two large manholes and one rectangular chamber to the project. The new total for the contract will be $473,716.40.
Cost: $63,076.00
