...Title
Authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a contract amendment with Short-Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. to extend their contract terms for Madison Water Utility’s Unit Well 19 Treatment System Addition project through December 31, 2025. (District 5)
...Body
WHEREAS, Madison Water Utility (“MWU”) and Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. (“SEH”) executed a contract for professional engineering services for the treatment of iron, manganese, and radium at MWU’s Unit Well 19; and
WHEREAS, the contract was originally signed on May 13, 2022 and is currently slated to expire at the end of 2024 - an expiration date which was set to align with the originally conceived project construction timeline; and
WHEREAS, during the design and planning phase of the treatment project, MWU and SEH decided to extend the allowable construction timeline through the summer of 2025 - approximately one additional year - to better account for supply chain and labor challenges that had become apparent across the industry; and
WHEREAS, with project construction now underway and a probable completion date in the summer of 2025, SEH’s contract expiration date will need to be extended in order to align their contract services with the construction and startup work that will be getting done next year.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the Mayor and City Clerk are authorized to execute a contract amendment with Short-Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. to extend their contract terms for Madison Water Utility’s Unit Well 19 Treatment System Addition project through December 31, 2025.
