ISSUE
Should the City Council approve a Resolution approving and ratifying a construction
contract in the amount of $13,895.78 to Sun Construction, Inc., for the Arkansas River
Fish Passage Structure Temporary Emergency Modifications?
Approval of this Resolution
BACKGROUND
This is an emergency contract that was undertaken by the City to modify the Arkansas
River Fish Passage Structure No. 8 that was not completed as part of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers Arkansas River Habitat Restoration Project. The modifications to
Fish Passage Structure No. 8 consisted of installing 300 cubic yards (450 tons) of 3' to
4' boulders and on -site fill material that modified the elevation of Fish Passage Structure
No. 8 preventing any further erosion of the structure, as well as raising the elevation of
the water below Fish Passage Structure No. 7.
The work could only be completed when the river was at a 150 cfs flow level or less.
Sun Construction is the company currently under contract by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers that to construct and complete any permanent modifications to the fish
passage structures. Due to the limited number of days that the river flow was below
150 cfs, the modifications to the fish passage structure was completed by the Army
Corps of Engineer's contractor Sun Construction while they are completing other work
under their contract with the Army Corps. There was not sufficient time for the Army
Corps to process a contract changer order to allow the work to be completed under their
contract agreement with Sun Construction.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds for this project in the amount of $13,895.78 will be paid from Account AL0201.
The funds were budgeted and appropriated in Ordinance No. 6805 approved by City
Council on April 8, 2002 for the Arkansas River Corridor Legacy Project. The funds
expended by the City for the fish passage structure modification have been approved by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as an eligible in -kind expense allowed under the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers and City of Pueblo Arkansas River Fisheries Restoration
Project Cooperation Agreement.
