MOTION
Upon recommendation of Cheryl Porter, Chief Operating Officer - Water and Field Services, the Board of Directors (Board) of the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA), authorizes the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to enter into Contract No. 2001051, Proposed Change Order No. 1, “Southwest Water Treatment Plant SCADA Network Upgrades” with Burns and McDonnell Michigan, Inc., with no increase in cost for a total cost not to exceed $7,891,696.00 and an increased duration of 304 days for a total duration of 1,034 days; and authorizes the CEO to take such other action as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this vote.
BACKGROUND
The intent of the Southwest Water Treatment Plant Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Network Upgrade project is to replace the plant’s obsolete control systems and existing control networks. Under this project, the vendor is providing the engineering design, demolition, furnishing of field devices, equipment, local control panels, installation, and start-up of a complete advanced plant-wide SCADA control system and networks, that meets the current GLWA SCADA Governance Documents standards.
Contract No. 2001051 is a design build project which is in the construction installation phase of the networks backbone and installation of the local controls panels for the plants, network, chemical and process systems. Contract No. 2001051 was awarded to Burns and McDonnell Michigan, Inc. on February 24, 2021, and the notice to proceed was
July 1, 2021. This proposed change order would extend the substantial completion and final completion dates to February 23, 2024, and April 30, 2024, respectively.
JUSTIFICATION
The Contractor requested a time extension stating instrumentation and electrical suppliers are unable to receive individual parts from Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) manufacturers that are required to produce the instrument/electrical equipment needed to assemble the final equipment required under this project (e.g., control panels, network switches, etc.) Additionally, the current disruptions in the supply chain of equipment are also causing delivery delays.
