MANHOLE AND WETWELL COATING PROJECT, SPECIFICATION
NO. 9202
CAO RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve additional funding for the Manhole and Wetwell Coating Project in the amount of
$4,000.
DISCUSSION
On July 214 the City Council authorized the advertising of the Manhole and Wetwell Coating
Project. The CAO authorized the award to Paragon Painting on August 214 . The project was
undertaken to coat ten existing manholes and four wetwells which are part of the Wastewater
Collection system.
Until such time as the cleaning of the manholes for coating started, the degree of deterioration was
unknown. When work started in October, the manholes were found to be in poor condition,
requiring considerable repair. Repair work was handled under force account conditions, meaning
the City pays for actual labor and materials used to make repairs. The contract documents provide
for this type of work, and a greater than normal contingency was allowed to account for these
unknowns.
Engineering estimated that the $78,000 funding level currently available would be sufficient to
complete the repair work and the coatings. Since that time, revisions to equipment and labor rates,
authorized under the contract, have resulted in higher than anticipated costs. The result is the final
total of the force account work exceeds the available contingencies. Additional funding will be
required to pay for the completed repairs.
