City of Shakopee g°
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Kris Wilson, Assistant City Administrator ;}
SUBJECT: Fire Station Change Order #1
DATE: June 16, 2011
Introduction
The Council is asked to authorize Change Order #1 and approve the expenditure of $15,659 from the
project contingency fund for plumbing changes at the new fire station.
Background
At the same time the City received the building permit application for the new fire station, a plumbing
plan was also submitted to the state for review. After completing their review, the state has required
several changes to the plumbing plan at the point where the water service enters the building. These
required changes carry a price tag that is not part of the base bid for the building.
Additionally, one ramification of these changes is that the piping will not fit on the west wall of the hose
tower as originally planned. It could be moved to the north wall, but that will take up space that could
be put to better use and potentially clog the walkway to the hose reels. Therefore relocating it to the
southern wall of the hose tower is preferred, although this adds slightly to the total cost of the change
order.
A second change related to having rounded corners on the interior walls that are made of burnished
block came in at a relatively modest $855, which can be accommodated within an already provided
allowance in the base bid. Therefore no contingency fund expenditure is required for this item.
Budget Impact
The total cost of the plumbing change order is $15,659. Of this amount, approximately 75% is necessary
to comply with the state's ordered changes. The remaining amount is to cover the cost of putting the
piping on the south wall rather than the north wall.
A complete listing of contingency fund expenditures to date can be found at the end of this memo. With
this $15,659 expenditure, the remaining balance is $65,700.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council approve Change Order #1 and authorize the expenditure of $15,659
from the project contingency fund for mandated and desired changes to the plumbing at the new fire
station.
Relationship to Goals
This is a housekeeping item.
Requested Action
If the Council concurs, it is asked to offer a motion to approve Change Order #1 and authorize the
expenditure of $15,659 from the project contingency fund for plumbing - related changes to the new fire
station.
