Background Information:
On April 7, 2020 the Main Lift Station Force Main Replacement Project was awarded to Cash Construction, LLC in the amount of $9,286,059.00. The construction includes the replacement of two 20” concrete wastewater force mains with two 24” PVC force mains, a reclaimed water bulk filling station, an underground electric duct bank, six storm sewer crossings and a 5’x5’ box culvert along River Road.
Due to the cost of the electric work, this change order will remove the electrical duct bank from the project. This cost for this reduction in work is $2,936,550.26 which results in a 31.6% decrease to the original contract amount. The contractor was notified of the deletion prior to the award of the contract and agreed to the deductive change order.
More cost-effective alignments are currently being considered for the electric duct bank and will likely be added to a different CIP project.
