and Inspection Services – Consultant Purchase Order
Extension
RECOMMENDATION:
That in accordance with the city’s purchasing policy, Purchase Order #201765 be extended for
the amount of $219,752 plus applicable taxes to Associate Engineering, as related to
engineering services provided as part of the upgrades and emergency storage to Homer
Watson Sewage Pumping Station.
BACKGROUND:
In February 2010, the City retained Associate Engineering to complete the detail design,
contract administration and inspection for upgrades and emergency storage at the Homer
Watson Sanitary Pumping Station (SPS). The construction of this project started in April 2011
and is still on-going. The upgrades are necessary in order to improve wastewater servicing for
the Doon South Community Plan area and the surrounding lands.
REPORT:
In accordance with the Homer Watson SPS executed tender document, the contractor was
supposed to complete the work within 160 working days. As of April 16, 2012, the contractor
has utilized about 250 working days and as per the recently revised schedule, submitted by the
contractor, approximately 70 more working days are required to complete the project. This
extension of the working days has resulted in the City needing to extend the purchase order for
the consultant, Associated Engineering in the amount of $219,752.00 to complete the contract
administration and site supervision services.
