Summary

The City of Fort Bragg hired local contractor Akeff Construction Services, Inc. to construct the Maple Street Storm Drain and Alley Rehab Project, PWP-00116. This project includes the replacement of significant quantities of underground storm drain lines that have not been unearthed in decades. The contractor and City staff have exercised standard practices to positively identify underground utilities, however throughout the project, underground conditions have differed from conditions indicated by the contract documents. Underground projects are commonly riddled with unknown conditions that become apparent as the contractor excavates. We have had to relocate two water service laterals, drop one water line, and move the elevation of one storm drain line so far to keep the project moving. These changes led to delays and additional costs, which were processed as Change Order No. 1. The current change order No. 2 and budget amendment are necessary to cover the cost of removal and relocation of a sewer main in conflict with the storm drain, and proposed to be funded by the Waste Water Enterprise Non-Routine Maintenance Fund. As the cost exceeds the City Manager's signing authority, Council approval is required.
