Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute the attached amendment to the <br />agreement with Macadee Electrical Construction, Inc. to rewire the street light system on <br />Broadway and Sycamore Street in the amount of $50,000 for a total contract amount not to <br />exceed $222,000, subject to nonsubstantive changes approved by the City Manager and City <br />Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />On April 2, 2012 the City Council awarded a contract to Macadee Electrical Construction, Inc. to <br />rewire the Broadway and Sycamore street lighting systems. These systems are obsolete and <br />need to be updated. The intent was to use the existing conduit, remove the obsolete series-type <br />wire, and install new wires with new fixtures, ballasts, and lamps. <br />During the rewiring process, some of the underground conduit on Sycamore was found to be <br />corroded beyond repair and needs to be replaced. This amendment is needed to install new <br />conduit using the directional boring method, installing pullboxes, and replacing pavement. <br />The original agreement included the contract amount of $156,889 plus $15,111 in contingencies. <br />These contingency funds have been exhausted. This amendment increases the contingency <br />funds by $50,000 for a total amount not to exceed $222,000. <br />25B-1
