ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and Director of Public Works with a Request to APPROVE Change Order No. 1 to the 2019 STORM SEWER REPAIR CONTRACT with J.C. DILLON, INC., and to AUTHORIZE the City Manager to Execute the Change Order to Increase the Original Contract, in the Amount of $550,000.00. (Reference Item No. 19-059) (All Council Districts)
Body
BACKGROUND: The City has awarded a Storm Sewer Repair Contract since 2010. This annual contract has eliminated the delays experienced waiting for the designing, bidding, letting and Council approval of individual contracts for each repair project. The repairs are designed "in the field" and paid based on the time and materials bid. This approach allows the Public Works Department to continue to be responsive to residents with drainage concerns caused by failing city-owned storm sewer infrastructure. The contract was approved by Council on February 26, 2019 under Item 19-059.
J.C. Dillon has been the low bidder for this contract multiple times since 2010. The 2019 contract allowed for up to two additional one-year contract extensions.

The contract change is germane to the original contract as signed.
Through payroll week November 7-13, J.C. Dillon's minority workforce hours were 20.2% of the total hours worked, the goal is 18%. The female workforce hours were 0.6% of the total hours worked, the goal is 3%.
J.C. Dillon, Inc. is a local business, and has successfully and satisfactorily performed this contract work for the City.
