The request of staff for City Council is to review and consider for approval the Final Deductive Change Order in the amount of two hundred forty-five thousand three hundred eleven dollars and twenty-two cents ($245,311.22) and the Final Pay Request in the amount of forty-nine thousand one hundred seventy-seven dollars and twenty-eight cents $49,177.28 from Suncoast Development of Pinellas County, Inc. for the completion of the 2013 Sewer Improvements Project.     

As Council may recall, elements constructed during this project were identified in the 2012 Utility Master Plan Update.  The elements included the replacement of a 10" sanitary sewer force located in the Magnolia Valley sub-division and a 12" force main extension at Magnolia Way east to Grand Blvd. north to Louisiana Ave.  The purpose of the extension is to eventually redirect and reduce flows from the existing master lift station located on Nebraska Ave. in the Railroad Square area.  Finally, the existing lift station panel located at Kentucky Ave. and Anderson St. was elevated in an effort to prevent the possibility of stormwater intrusion during large weather events. 

The deductive change order was the result of non expenditure of the owners contingency and the elimination of two lift station upgrades as explained in the engineer of record's attached memo.
