ANALYSIS:
On July 20, 2020 the Utility Board awarded the construction contract to Miron Electric in the amount of
$282,700. Consequently, the Purchase Order #034056 was issued. On August 24, 2020 Staff issued a
Notice to Proceed to Miron Electric. Due to the delay of delivery of material and equipment, Miron
Electric did not start the construction until October 5, 2020. This project was completed on February 24,
2021. Testing and inspections have been performed by Staff to determine that work has been completed
in accordance with plan and specifications for project LD2020-CB-Construction, within specified time
frame and budgeted cost amount.
Due to unknown field conditions at the job site and material changes, Staff has approved and authorized
several change orders for this project. The total amount for the change orders is $16,883.00, which is
6.6% of project base cost of $257,000. The 10% contingency fund budgeted for this project was
sufficient to pay for the change orders.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This project was completed within reasonable schedule, and budget cost of $273,883. Including the cost
of change orders, there is an available balance of $8,817 on PO #034056. Funding for this project is
budgeted for under the Utility’s Capital Improvement Budget Acct #33-80-000-730-7120.
