SUMMARY:
This Resolution ratifies and approves the award of an emergency Contract Amendment
No. 1 in the amount of $20,417.18 to GWP Inc. dba Colorado Boiler for Project No. 22-
072 (WWAN04) Refurbishment of Boiler #33 for the James R. DiIorio Water
Reclamation Facility (WRF) and setting forth $4,083.44 for contingencies on the
additional work.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Resolution 15022, dated October 11, 2022, awarded a construction contract to GWP
Inc. dba Colorado Boiler for Project No. 22-072 (WWAN04) Refurbishment of Boiler #33
for the James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility (WRF).
BACKGROUND:
The James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility treats wastewater for the City of
Pueblo. Boiler #33 is a methane burning boiler used to heat the building and water
throughout the plant. Burning methane builds up in the tubes and needs to be scrubbed
every year, eating away at the tubes and tube sheet. Boiler #33 tubes and tube sheet
are getting thin and need to be replaced, so emergency repairs are not needed to keep
the boiler running. If the boiler goes down as our back up, the facility will have to use
natural gas as a backup and incur an unforeseen expense during the winter months.
During construction, on Wednesday April 19, 2023, as the contractor was preparing the
tube sheet to install the new tubes, it was discovered the tube sheet was only 1/2” thick,
which did not meet code. The minimum thickness must be 5/8” to install tubes. The
contractor could not proceed without the tube sheet being replaced.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The cost of the amendment to the construction project is $20,417.18 with contingencies
of $4,083.44. Funds are available from the Rehabilitation Funds and appropriated to
Project No. 22-072 (WWAN04).
