WHEREAS, at the June 13, 2017 meeting Council awarded the contract for Water
Distribution System Improvements -2017 in the amount of $678,685.23 to Myers Construction, Inc.,
of Broken Bow, Nebraska; and
WHEREAS, during construction, the following required alterations were
encountered;
1) Change # 1: Utility sizes differing from sizes of record were encountered on the Third Street
redevelopment project. An unknown service was also found that needed to be properly
abandoned. In addition, a hydrant was required to be relocated due to clearance conflicts.
This request also included the removal of a tree on the 16th Street and Locust Street Project.
The total additional cost for this work was $14,892.30.
2) Change #2: A storm sewer curb inlet for a Street Department repair at State Street and
Cleburn Street was replaced for a cost of $5,440.00.
WHEREAS, during the process of constructing the five-project area contract,
materials were added or deducted to complete the work due to unknown utilities, reconfiguration to
resolve unforeseen conflicts and utility sizes differing from sizes of record; and
WHEREAS, the contract's amount needs to be modified due to adjustments in
quantities installed versus estimated quantities for the project in the amount of $54,351.46; and
WHEREAS, a significant portion of quantity overage is due to additional pavement
and storm sewer restoration requested by the Public Works Department, and the Utilities Department
contractor was working in the area, which made this the most cost-effective measure; and
WHEREAS, these changes resulted in an additional $74,683.76 altogether for a final
contract amount of $753,368.99 and the Public Works Department will reimburse the Utilities
Department for $84,767.02 for the work that was requested by them.

THE CITY OF GRAND ISLAND, NEBRASKA, that Change Order #1 with Myers Construction
