Rev iewed by Council Committees: Councilmember:Staff:Thomas Meeting Date:March 15, 2021 Item Number:CA.D Page 20 of 35 AGENDA BILL APPROVAL FORM Agenda Subject: Public Works Project No. CP1926 (Gaub) Date: March 8, 2021 Department: Public Works Attachments: Vicinity Map Budget Impact: Current Budget: $0 Proposed Revision: $0 Revised Budget: $0 Administrativ e Recommendation: City Council to approve an increase of $125,000.00 in the total maximum authorized contract amount for Public Works Contract No. 20-02; Construction of Project No. CP1926, 2020 Arterial Street Preservation (15th St NW). Background Summary: Auburn City Code (ACC) Chapter 3.10 specifies the total maximum authorized contract amount for public work contracts based on contract value. The maximum authorized contract amount includes the original contract amount plus an authorized contingency. The code allows for administrative approval of change order work within the authorized contingency amount. If project budget contingency remains, the code allows the City Council to increase the total maximum authorized contract, which increases the authorized contingency available for administrative approval. The 2020 Arterial Street Preservation is replacing the pavement and replacing and up-sizing 1,200 feet of existing 8-inch cast iron water main with a 16-inch ductile iron water main on 15th Street NW from R Street NW to West Valley Highway. The project is also grinding and overlaying 15th Street NW from West Valley Highway to SR 167. Construction began in August 2020 and is expected to be complete in May 2021. Project construction is currently in suspension while waiting for better weather to complete the final paving. Increasing the maximum authorized contract amount will use available project contingency to provide the following improvements that were not part of the original contract: 1. Mitigate conflicts during construction of the watermain work. The Contractor encountered many buried tree stumps, buried concrete road panels, and unlocated utilities that required extra work to complete the watermain installation. 2. Replace additional watermain in the intersection of 15th Street NW and West Valley Highway. During construction, the Contractor discovered a portion of the old watermain was installed through a storm manhole. To address this issue, the Project Team had to redesign around the storm manhole, which required installation of an additional 60 feet of watermain and a water valve. Page 21 of 35 3. Install geotextile fabric under the new roadway on 15th Street NW between R Street NW and West Valley Highway. When the existing road surface was removed, the Contractor discovered the existing ground under the roadway was soft and muddy. Installing geotextile fabric beneath the new roadway surface will help stabilize the ground and provide better support for the new roadway. 4. Install a new power service for the traffic signal at the intersection of 15th Street NW and West Valley Highway. The new location will reduce the risk of the power service getting hit by traffic. 5. Line item changes. Some quantities were underestimated on certain bid items as a result of some of the unexpected site conditions experienced during performance of the work. The significant items include additional aggregates needed for the new road base due to the existing road base being insufficient, additional hot mix asphalt for paving needed due to a minor changes in the paving thickness and limits, and temporary traffic control items needed to control traffic in the intersection of 15th Street NW and West Valley Highway during the watermain construction. This City will pay the Contractor for the additional quantities needed to complete these items at their existing unit bid price. To fund these changes, an increase in the total authorized contract amount of $125,000.00 will be required, which is available within the existing overall project budget. A project budget contingency of $30,436 remains in the 460 water fund. A project budget contingency of $26,271 remains in the 105 arterial street fund.

The Public Works Department is replacing the existing Academy Water Booster Pump Station 1 because the station is near the end of its useful service live. The replaced pump station requires a new power service from Puget Sound Energy (PSE). This resolution authorizes the dedication of an easement to PSE for PSE to provide the new power service connection for the City. Background Summary: The Academy Pump Station 1 Replacement project will demolish and replace the existing Academy Pump Station 1 facility and will repurpose the existing Academy Pump Station 2 facility to serve as a storage building. The capacity of the new pump station will be 2,100 gallons per minute (gpm), which will not only meet current system water demands, but will allow for future growth. In addition to the new pump station structure, the backup power generator will be replaced and a new power service connection will be provided by Puget Sound Energy (PSE). In order for PSE to provide underground power to the new facility, an underground connection is needed and an easement from the City required. Resolution No. 5587 authorizes the Mayor to grant an easement to Puget Sound Energy, Inc. (PSE) for the purpose of installing underground power facilities on a City owned parcel for the Academy Pump Station 1 Replacement Project.
