The total project cost, including the proposed increase, is expected to be $1,950,000. Alternative Action The City Council (Council) may choose to reject the request and provide alternative direction to staff.

MEETING DATE: February 21, 2023 ITEM NO. 4.11(a) FROM: ***APPROVED BY*** caukland@ci.redding.ca.us btippin@cityofredding.org SUBJECT: 4.11(a)--Approve Increase to Project Budget for the Redding Aquatic Center 50 Meter Pool Improvement Project Chuck Aukland, Public Works Director Report to Redding City Council February 15, 2023 Re: 4.11(a)--Approve Increase to Project Budget for Redding Aquatic Center 50 Meter Improvement Project Page 2 During the course of construction, conditions in the field warranted design revisions to meet the original project intent. After the resurfacing of the 50-meter pool was completed, the water-stop in the expansion joint failed. The pool is leaking a significant amount of water and will continue to do so until it is repaired. The consultant design team recommends replacing the expansion joint with a poured-in place repair. The scope of work for this repair includes the following: providing daily moisture conditioning to the new plaster finish, saw-cutting the old expansion joint (approximately 40” wide by 95 feet), removing and disposing of concrete, placement of dowel in new rebar, using shotcrete in new concrete section, tiling of new sections to match existing sections, repairing any damaged plaster areas (if needed), and finally filling and balancing the pool. The noted changes will result in the contract bid item exceeding the bid quantity and the additional time needed will increase the construction management services required. The additional work will cause the project budget to exceed the awarded amounts. An additional $150,000 is requested to cover increases to the construction contingency ($130,000) and construction management ($20,000) project components.
