(Engineering RFB-25-283) (Dave Wostenberg/Robin R. Wilson)

STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
Ratification of this change order supports the City Council’s strategic outcome of Safe and Prosperous by ensuring the City’s water infrastructure is safe, reliable and capable of meeting current and future demands. Change Order No.2 addressed an unforeseen field condition related to the location of the existing watermain and provided the necessary modifications to safely complete the connection and successfully deliver the project.
REPORT:
On January 7, 2026, City Council authorized the bid award for this project in the amount of $1,381,777.00 to Taylor Engineering. On June 17, 2026, City Council authorized a $173,229.66 change order due to the jack and bore process with an unexpected obstruction found beneath the Union Pacific Railroad.
As the project progressed, the construction plans depicted existing 16-inch polyvinyl chloride water main west of Redondo Center Drive. Multiple potholing attempts did not locate the main at the depicted location. Additional field investigation confirmed that the main was beneath the Redondo Center Drive roadway.
This unforeseen differing site condition required the proposed tie-in excavation to extend beyond the anticipated work area and original construction footprint assumed during bidding. The expanded work required additional watermain pipe, asphalt pavement and curb-and-gutter restoration. Taylor Engineering implemented the necessary modifications with the approval from City staff and completed the project work with the final change order total of $99,763.07 which is presented for ratification and approval.
The new contract value following Change Order No. 2 is $1,654,769.73.
