Explanation:
The Department of Public Utilities (DPU) owns, operates, and maintains over 85 sanitary sewer lift stations and 10 stormwater pump stations.
DPU was awarded federal grant funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) through the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) to install generators at Sanitary Sewer Lift Stations No. E-01, E-03, E-06, W-14, W-15 and Stormwater Pump Station SW-08.
On November 2, 2022, via Resolution R-2022-338, the City Commission authorized the execution of a contract with Zabatt Engine Services, Inc. (Zabatt) in the amount of $2,692,731.60 for the installation of the aforementioned generators with a contract term of 365 calendar days.
On February 13, 2023, DPU staff issued the Notice to Proceed with a substantial completion within 365 days. The project was delayed by subsequent construction material supply interruptions. Cummins, Inc., the generator supplier, could not confirm the delivery until May 15, 2024.
On November 28, 2023, DPU staff requested an extension from the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM). On April 26, 2024, the contractor submitted a Change Order proposal to extend the contract for 381 days, without a change in contract price, and based on the Cummins, Inc. delivery date.
Craven, Thompson & Associates, Inc., and Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., as the construction manager and engineer of record for the project, and DPU staff, evaluated Change Order No. 1 and determined that it is reasonable and in accordance with industry standards.
This agenda item seeks the City Commission’s approval and authorization for the appropriate City officials to execute Change Order No. 1 with Zabatt to extend the contract term for 381 days without any change to the contract price.
Fiscal Impact:
Approval of this item will not fiscally impact the City as this change order impacts the number of days for project completion without any impact on the cost. This project has previously been funded and approved.
DPU staff will manage this project. No additional staff are needed as a result of this project.
