MEMORANDUM
October 26, 2007
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Floodwall Pumping Station Improvement Projects
Public Works Director Don Vogt is recommending acceptance of the construction
contract for the Floodwall Pumping Station Improvement Projects, as completed by
Kluck Construction, in the final contract amount of $465,730.81, which is a 4.3%
increase from the original contract by the amount of $19,310.01. The cost increase was
due to additional work at the Bee Branch and Hawthorne Street Floodwall Pumping
Stations, including the removal of a utility pole (Hawthorne), the relocation of an
electrical service (Hawthorne), the replacement of a transformer (Hawthorne), additions
to the Bee Branch screen wall and sidewalk, and, changes to the Bee Branch platform
foundation. Funding is available in the project budget.
I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council
approval.

SUBJECT: Floodwall Pumping Station Improvement Projects
INTRODUCTION
The attached resolutions provide for the acceptance of the construction contract for the
Floodwall Pumping Station Improvement Projects. The base bid for these combined
projects provides for the purchase and installation of generators, transfer switches,
generator enclosures and associated conduit and wiring for providing auxiliary power to
the foodwall pumps located at the Hawthorne Street and Maus Lake pumping facilities.
The projects also provide for the replacement of the 150 horsepower pump control,
installation of two manual transfer switches, construction of a support wall, generator
pad, concrete sidewalk, handrail, and steps, and installation of fencing at the Bee
Branch pumping facility.
DISCUSSION
Work has been completed on the projects by Kluck Construction in the final contract
amount of $465,730.81. I recommend that the City Council accept the improvements
and the final contract price be established at $465,730.81, which is a 4.3% increase
from the original contract by the amount of $19,310.01.
The cost increase was due to additional work at the Bee Branch and Hawthorne Street
Floodwall Pumping Stations, including the removal of a utility pole (Hawthorne), the
relocation of an electrical service (Hawthorne), the replacement of a transformer
(Hawthorne), additions to the Bee Branch screen wall and sidewalk, and, changes to
the Bee Branch platform foundation.
