WW1402, APPROVING CONTRACT AMENDMENT NO. 1 IN THE
AMOUNT OF $606,959.60 TO MILLER PIPELINE, LLC., FOR PROJECT
NO. 24-049 (WW1402) SOUTHERN COLORADO CLINIC SANITARY
SEWER OUTFALL PROJECT AND AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASING
AGENT TO EXECUTE SAME.
SUMMARY:
This Resolution approves transferring $606,959.60 from WW2001, Capacity
Improvements, to WW1402, Otero Blvd. Extension, and Contract Amendment No. 1 in
the amount of $606,959.60 to Miller Pipeline, LLC. for Project 24-049 (WW1402) 2024
Southern Colorado Clinic Sanitary Sewer Outfall Project.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On June 10, 2024, by Resolution No. 10722, was approved, transferring $1,000,000.00
from WW9999, Projects to be Determined, to WW1402, Otero Blvd. Extension, and a
Construction Contract was awarded, in the amount of $3,974,073, to Miller Pipeline,
LLC., and set forth $1,710,000 for contingencies and additional work, for Project 24-049
(WW1402) 2024 Southern Colorado Clinic Sanitary Sewer Outfall Project.
On November 28, 2022, by Resolution No. 15078, City Council approved an additional
expenditure of $1,000,000.00 in ARPA funds to be used for the sewer project.
On September 27, 2021, by Resolution No. 14724, City Council approved the
expenditure of $2,000,000.00 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to be used for
constructing sewer infrastructure.
BACKGROUND:
This original project consisted of constructing 6,138 linear feet of 21-inch sanitary sewer
main and related appurtenances along and crossing the Wildhorse Creek. The proposed
pipe was constructed through bedrock and varying levels of groundwater.
Contract Amendment No. 1 reflects the cost to remove additional unknown bedrock and
upsize the existing downstream pipe to eliminate a bottleneck. The cost of the additional
work exceeds the threshold for administrative approval of a change order, and a contract
amendment will be required to award and complete the additional work.
This Resolution approves an amendment to increase the contract award amount
previously awarded to Miller Pipeline, LLC. and transferring $606,959.60.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The funds in the amount of $606,959.60 are being transferred from Project WW2001,
Capacity Improvements, to WW1402, Otero Blvd Extension.
Funding in the amount of $606,959.60 will include the remaining contingency amount of
$74,668.27 and an additional $532,291.33 from the Sewer User Fund.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None
ALTERNATIVES:

project and deter future development.
