Summary & Background: Under Agenda Item No. 22-0063 at the 1/19/2022 meeting the BOC awarded a design-build construction contract to the Georgia Power Company in the amount of $12,879,472.00 to provide design/build services for the power generation system at the Big Creek WRF.

 

Scope of Work: The Public Works Department is seeking a time only extension to contract #21RFP131557K-DB with no changes to the current scope of work or cost. The Public Works Department is seeking a time extension that would align all remaining activities under this contract with the overall schedule for Big Creek Upgrade/Expansion.  Approval of this item would move the substantial completion date from May 10, 2024 to August 7, 2024, an increase of 89 days.

Completing the Big Creek WRF expansion and upgrade will be extremely difficult if this action is not approved.  The Georgia Power Company has several scope items that have not been completed, including testing on the installed equipment and other safety related items. Georgia Power’s work provides all the primary and auxiliary power generation required to operate the plant.  Ensuring this work has been completed and meets the needs to adequately continue the treatment process is at the heart of making the overall expansion/upgrade a successful project.

 

Community Impact: No immediate community impact has been noted or expected.

 

Department Recommendation: The Public Works Department recommends approval of this item.

 

Project Implications: This extension would better allow Georgia Power to complete all activities in accordance with the larger Big Creek WRF Expansion and Upgrade being completed by the Archer-Western/Brown and Caldwell JV. 

 

Community Issues/Concerns: No community issues/concerns have been noted.

 

Department Issues/Concerns: Public Works does not have any issues or concerns with allowing a time only extension to Georgia Power.
