RE: City of Georgetown - Contract No, GEO-88-`ED-1
Sections A-1.1 and A-1.2 Reroute
Gentlemen:
In response to your request of April 3, 1989 Universal herewith submits
its bid tabulation sheets for the subject changes in the distribution work.
The details enclosed will show this change to be a net increase to the contract
of $23,991.13:.
This increase may be explained as follows:
1'. The already known unit prices and materials in the new line segment as
presented to Universal (before Universal priced any new labor units) was
more than $6,000.00 greater than the line segment deleted.
2. Of the $23,991.13 increase $4,976.77 is owner furnished materials.
3. The handling and transferring hot of the existing 336 ACSR circuit and
neutral has no counterpart in the removed line segment.
4. There was no removal portion in the deleted segment.
5. Several new structures in the new line are.double circuit.
6. The conductor size was increased from 336 ACSR to 795 ACSR.
7. The new 795 ACSR will need to be pulled in above the hot bottom circuit.
We look forward to your approval of these prices so that we might timely
complete this project for the City of Georgetown.
Yours very truly,
UNIVERSAL ELECTRIC CONSTRUCTION COMPANY

RE: Electrical System Improvements, Project #00337
The last several months, the City of Georgetown has been working to
complete the 1988-1989 Electrical System Improvements. These
imurovements to the Electrical System contained mainly reconductor
of existing service lines, and increasing the level of service to
certain areas of -the City. The scope of this project was also to
include a portion of a newly constructed line along IH 35 from the
Georgetown substation at State Highway 29 to •- '•.
Recently the Texas Department of Highways and Public Transportation
has listed several new proposed projects within the Georgetown
area. Of these projects forthcoming in the future are frontage
roads along the interstate that are scheduled to be completed
sometime in the 90's. Because of this fact, the permit for
construction license within the right-of-way was more restrictive
than first indicated by the Highway Department. The restrictions
proposed on utility construction along this routing would make
construction of this line impractical without the addition of
easements along the adjacent West property. In negotiations with
the property owners adjacent to this portion of right-of-way, a
granted easement for the construction of this line was not going to
be possible and the purchase of this right-of-wav would be
extremely expensive. Therefore, staff has realigned the proposed
routing of this line to the next most feasible route. This routing
entails Peconduotoring of an existing line and a portion of some
rebuilding in order to supply the adequate capacity needed to
supply the area along Leander Road, West of IH 35.
In order to re-route and change the scope of work as was originally
presented, a change order is mandatory to affect this change.
At the request of the City through its engineer McCord Engineers,
this particular change order was designed and sent to Universal
Electric for pricing. Attached to this memorandum is a copy of
that routing alignment and -the proposed increase in cost of the
contract because of this change. The change as submitted by
Universal Electric, using their base bid prices and increased
quantities, has been presented as an increase M f $23,991.13. This
increase will be added to the original contract price of
$147,580.48. The original estimate for construction of this
contract was approximately $212,000.00. With the change to the
base bid contract, we will still be considerably lower than the
M' iginal estimate and will not increase the contract by
greater than 25%. At this time the contractor has completed all
phases of the work with the
•. of this change •
Therefore, City staff is recommending the approval of the change
order to Universal Electric Construction Company in the amount of
$23,991.13.
