It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners 1) ratify Change Order 2 for the Mims WTP Mixing Improvements; 2) and authorize the County Manager to execute, thereby increasing the total contract value to $3,000,316.44.
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
Under the original scope of this project, the Contractor was to provide improvements to the Mims Water Treatment Plant chlorine contact basins, including installation of new mixers, replacement of chemical injection piping, installation of a new 12-inch clarifier effluent pipe, bypass pumping, electrical and SCADA improvements, structural repairs, and associated system upgrades necessary to improve plant mixing operations and treatment efficiency.
This Change Order provides for additional bypass piping and upsizing of critical system piping required for the Contractor to proceed with ongoing construction and avoid delays to the project schedule. Scope includes installation of a new gravity main, filter connections, ceramic diffusers, and piping through the CCB wall with link seals. The increased pipe sizing also accommodates a planned future project in the same area, reducing future rework and associated costs. Removal of the temporary bypass system and related equipment is also included.
Pursuant to Board Policy BCC-27, the County Manager approved Change Order 2 on April 8, 2026, in the amount of $211,133.91 to allow the Contractor to proceed without interruption and mitigate potential operational impacts and project delays during active construction. As the Change Order amount exceeds $200,000, after-the-fact ratification by the Board is required.
