DATE'
SUBJECT'
Nelson has reached the end of his inspection budget on the subject project. The
contractor was to be completed .by December 1, 1999, but his contract was
extended'
· CO No. 1 - January 10, 2000 (Late delivery of reservoir pumps)
· CO No. 2- March 31,2000 (Better weather, working conditions)
It was agreed by all parties that CO No. 2 would not cause a cost increase.
However, Nelson' s letter of April 18, 2000, states correctly that the project is not
100 percent complete. We have reached substantial completion, and we are
operating the new system.
Because of CO No. 1, the construction force account items, and the separate
contract to IISCO on the SCADA controls, Nelson's work has gone over budget.
DEC has reviewed Nelson's request and has verbally approved it. Nelson is
requesting an increase in his inspection contract of a not-to-exceed amount of
$5,000.

RE' Kenai Water System Upgrade Project-Inspection Budget
Dear Keith,
We have reached the end of our inspection budget. Change Order #1 and #2 gave the
Contractor an additional 40 day and 81 days respectively to finish the project. In both
instances, we reviewed our work effort and budget and felt that we could continue to
provide the level of inspection and administration services that the City expects to
receive, without needing to increase our inspection fee. Compared to the initial
construction contract time of 147 days (July 7-December 1) these two time extensions
represent an 82% increase in the time period for which we covered the inspection under
our original fee.
Unfortunately, the project has still not been completed. There are five issues that ·
continue'
1. Remote sensing station capillary robe failure..
2. Vibration of line shaft pump at well # 1.
3. Manufacturer's certification of pumps at the Reservoir pump house.
4. Changes to installation of injection pump at Reservoir pump house.
5. Submittal review of contractor's O&M manuals and as-builts. Preparation of
mylar as-builts.
We were over budget for our construction phase inspection services as of the March 31,
2000 completion date extended to the Contractor wit?, Change Order Number 2.
However, since we agreed to provide services at no additional cost up to that date, we are ~
not planing to bill for our cost over runs prior to March 31, 2000.
Would you like to have us continue with project inspection? If so, we would like to
negotiate a change to our contract to allow us to bill for our work beyond March 31
2000. '
Sincere[y, .
