Summary & Background The Department of Public Works is requesting approval of a change order less than 10%, 20ITBC125292A-FB Ductile Iron Pipe, Restraining Gaskets, and Tapping Saddles to increase the unit prices as outlined in the attached pricing sheet.
Scope of Work: The contract with Ferguson Waterworks provides ductile iron pipes, restraining gaskets, and tapping saddles to maintain and repair water infrastructure throughout the North Fulton County water service areas. The renewal of the 2022 contract was approved by the Board of Commissioners on November 17, 2021. However, due to the pandemic which is impacting the supply chain and the availability of materials, Ferguson Waterworks requests an average increase of 25% of the previously approved unit prices. The new unit prices for the various materials purchased by Public Works under this contract are shown in Exhibit 1. No additional spending authority is required.
Community Impact: Approval of unit price increases will avoid delays in procurement of ductile iron pipe, restraining gaskets, and tapping saddles. Failure to procure and maintain these items in stock can negatively impact the operation of the Water Services Division in maintaining water systems and services.
Department Recommendation: The Department of Public Works recommends approval of a change order less than 10% to the contract with Ferguson Waterworks not to exceed the awarded amount of $92,779.16.
Project Implications: Increase in unit cost without increasing the awarded contract amount may inhibit the ability to procure ductile iron pipe, restraining gaskets, and tapping saddles for water service installation, repair, and maintenance for the North Fulton water distribution system.
Community Issues/Concerns: Public Works staff is not aware of any community issues or concerns.
Department Issues/Concerns: The Department of Public Works does not have any issues or concerns with the proposed price increase.
