GRAVITY REPLENISHMENT LINE
CHANGE ORDER NO. 1
SCOPE: This Change Order No. 1 covers additional changes in the scope
of work at the Gravity Replenishment Line that were not reasonably
foreseeable at the time the contract was signed and are in the best
interest of the City. Items covered in this change order are for: 1)
transition fitting, 2) sidewalk, 3) additional labor for connecting to
the existing main, 4) restrained joint fittings, and 5) granular trench
stabilization.
This contract for construction is with Swallow Construction, Lombard,
Illinois.
REASONS FOR CHANGE:
1) The project was originally designed and bid with the contractor
responsible for connecting the new 30-inch diameter ductile iron water
main to an existing 36" x 36" x 30" tee. After exposing the tee, it
was discovered that the existing tee is prestressed concrete cylinder
pipe (PCCP) material . Therefore, the new ductile iron pipe could not
be connected to the PCCP tee without the use of a special transition
fitting. The existence of the PCCP material for the existing tee was
not noted during any of the review phases prior to bidding. The
installation of the transition fitting is necessary to make the
connection between the new ductile iron pipe and existing PCCP main.
This will result in a new addition to the contract.
2) The project was originally designed and bid with the installation of
the 24-inch diameter water main installed in front of the Riverside
Treatment Plant. The original bid did not have a unit price bid for
concrete sidewalk removal and replacement. A price per square yard was
submitted by the contractor for approval . After review by the City and
CDI, a lower price was negotiated with the Contractor and accepted.
This will result in a net addition to the contract.
3) The project was originally designed and bid with the contractor
responsible for connecting the new 30-inch diameter ductile iron main
to the existing 36" x 36" x 30" tee. The connection was to be
accomplished by removing what was felt to be a standard plug. However,
after exposing the tee it was discovered that the tee had a plug which
was bolted and welded to the pipe. This resulted in a work stoppage
and then additional time and equipment, not contemplated in the
original bid, for removal of the welded plug. A price was submitted by
the contractor for approval . After review by the City and CDI, a lower
price was negotiated with the contractor and accepted. This will
result in a net addition to the contract.
r
4) The project was originally designed and bid with the contractor
responsible for installing a concrete thrust block at the 24-inch
diameter elbow located at approximate station 22+50. This elbow is
located on the west bank of the Fox River. This area is submerged
during periods of high water. Excavation during the water main
installation revealed unsuitable pipe laying conditions not
contemplated in the original contract. It was determined that the use
of restrained joints would be in the City's best interest in lieu of
the use of a thrust block due to the concern that the noncohesive soils
encountered would not allow for adequate bearing for a thrust block.
This will result in a net addition to the contract.
5) During the course of construction, unstable ground was encountered
from Station 20+10 to 20+53. The below grade conditions were unsuit-
able and were not adequate to fully support the installed water main.
It was determined that the use of the granular trench stabilization
material would be in the best interest of the City. The subgrade
conditions were not contemplated in the original bid. This will result
in a net addition to the contract.
