BACKGROUND:
On October 09, 2025, the City entered into an agreement with Marion Rock LLC for the Lift Station No. 127 Force Main Reroute Phase 1 Project. The Project consists of installing a new 18-inch sewer force main on SW 48th Avenue from Lift Station No. 127 to the intersection of SW 48th Avenue and SW 40th Street.
During construction, the bore section of the 18-inch force main was extended by 100 feet to avoid conflict with an existing underground fiber-optic utility box. The contractor also connected the new 18-inch sewer force main to an existing eight-inch line heading south, as lift station upgrades were needed to handle the increased flow, departing from the original plan to cap the new line.

The cost of the additional work is $67,479. Staff recommends approval for the City Engineer to issue a change order and add $67,479 in funding to the contract to cover the additional work.

Funding for the project will be available in the amount of $67,479 in account 616-030-367-535-69-65010
