Project: WPCF Chlorination Building Upgrade <br /> Change Order No. 03 <br /> Change Order Effective Date: February 25,2020 <br /> New Added Item: <br /> New Item No. 12: Differing Site Conditions at Outfall Manhole. Create new item#12 entitled, <br /> "Differing Site Conditions at Outfall Manhole", in the agreed lump sum price of$200,317.43, resulting <br /> in a Contract price increase of$200,317.43. <br /> The net result of modifying the seven (7)each existing bid items and adding one(1)new item#12 <br /> results in a Contract price increase of$11,077.43. <br /> JUSTIFICATION: <br /> Bid Item No.01:At the outfall manhole,the per plan piling were not installed due to differing site <br /> conditions noted in new Bid Item No.12.The Contract documents called for a test pile to be installed <br /> at the outfall as well. Since the piling were not installed the test pile was not needed.This decreased <br /> the quantity of test piles needed for the project. <br /> Bid Item No.02 and No.03:The City's Geotechnical Engineer analyzed the data from the test piles <br /> installed under the future Chlorination Building and future generator pad. Because the piling <br /> achieved the required penetration resistance at a shallower depth than expected, our Engineer <br /> recommended shortening the length of the per plan piling.This decreased the quantity of 16%:" <br /> diameter piling needed for the project. <br /> Bid Item No.04 and No.05:The City's Geotechnical Engineer analyzed the data from the test piles <br /> installed under the future box culvert. Because the piling achieved the required penetration <br /> resistance at a shallower depth than expected, our Engineer recommended shortening the length of <br /> the per plan piling. At the outfall, the piling were not installed due to the differing site conditions. <br /> This decreased the quantity of 18" diameter piling needed for the project. <br /> Bid Item No.06 and No.07:The permanent sheet pile wall was extended approximately 9-feet on the <br /> west end of the wall.This was done to avoid having a sharp drop off adjacent to the west end of the <br /> wall.This increased the quantity of sheet piling needed for the project. <br /> New Item No.12:As part of the Chlorination Building Project a new outfall manhole was constructed <br /> adjacent to the Snohomish River. In order to shore the excavation for the manhole,the City's <br /> Contractor chose a shoring system that froze the ground around the excavation. <br /> The Contractor chose this shoring system based on the geotechnical report and borings provided by <br /> the City's design engineers.The report and borings indicated soils that were favorable for a freeze <br /> shoring system. During monitoring of the freeze shoring, it was observed the freeze wall was forming <br /> in the upper section of the future excavation but not the lower section.The freeze wall was not <br /> forming because groundwater from the Snohomish River was infiltrating the lower section of the <br /> Page 4 of 5 <br />
