This ordinance authorizes the District to amend Contract #11024 with Shannon & Wilson Inc. for an annual extension based
on acceptable performance to provide construction management services for all tunnel projects included in the Lower and
Middle RDP CSO Controls System Improvements project. The preliminary construction estimate for the tunnel projects is $746,500,000. This project consists of bi dability and constructability review during the design of the tunnel projects and
construction management services during construction. The estimated construction management contract ranges for the
entire program contract is between $70 and $80 million. This contract amendment of $1,000,000 brings the current contract
value to $12,500,000.
FUNDING/COST SUMMARY: Budgeted: Capital Improvement Program Budget Year: FY2020, Pg. 9 Amount: $1,800,000
Fund Name: #6660 – Sanitary Replacement Fund
Additional Comments: The appropriation for construction management services is $800,000 below the proposed funding
presented in the CIP Budg et Supplement. This is due to the Jefferson Barracks Tunnel being delayed as options were
being evaluated to address the differing subsurface condition that was encountered. This funding will provide construction
management services during construction f or the Jefferson Barracks Tunnel (Lemay WWTP to Martigney PS) (11711) project; and CM services during design for the Jefferson Barracks Tunnel Consolidation Sewers (11957). This project is
expected to be funded by Bond proceeds.
