CBD Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project Supplemental Agreement No. 2
Staff is seeking Council approval of Supplemental Agreement No. 2 with RH2 Engineering in the
amount of $59,070.00 for the Commercial Business District (CBD) Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation
Project. On March 11, 2013 a major break was discovered in the 12-inch sewer pipe between
Andover Park East and Andover Park West. A temporary pumping system is in place, and the
design and construction of this repair are included in the contract with RH2 for the CBD Sanitary
Sewer Rehabilitation Project. This supplement is necessary to re-design the project using a
revised scope of work that does not require permitting or payments to Union Pacific Railroad, an
aspect of the original design that was causing costs and delays eventually deemed unacceptable

2013 Annual Small Drainage Program Supplemental Agreement No. 2
Staff is seeking Council approval of Supplemental Agreement No. 2 to Contract No. 13-113 with
KPG, Inc. in the amount of $34,987.16. Supplemental Agreement No. 1 was executed for KPG,
Inc. to provide construction management support in addition to design services for the 2013
Annual Small Drainage Program. The original contract completion date was December 26, 2013,
but weather conditions in December did not allow for final paving to occur. This supplemental
agreement is needed to cover the additional support, inspections, and material testing to complete
the project construction and final paving in appropriate weather conditions. An additional delay
was caused by the City Inspector providing project management services on another project that
became more time demanding than expected due to changed site conditions. Funding for this
supplement will come from the 2014 Construction Management budget. Committee members
inquired about the overall project budget with staff confirming that the construction contract is
