RESOLUTION APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 5
TO PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH HDR
FOR THE NORTH RIVER VALLEY WELLFIELD PROJECT
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, construction of the project began in July 2023. Unforeseen issues have
impacted the project’s construction schedule, including unanticipated archaeological monitoring
of the pipeline excavation directed by the State Historic Preservation Office and long lead times
for electrical equipment. Due to these challenges, the anticipated project completion has been
pushed back 10 months to October 2025; and,
WHEREAS, because of the unanticipated impact of the archaeological oversight, the work
has progressed at a much slower pace. As a result, the number of hours necessary for the
construction observation has been nearly exhausted; and,
WHEREAS, to accommodate the remaining period of part-time construction observation,
additional funds need to be authorized to HDR's contract. Funding for this amendment will come
from the available project contingency.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that Amendment No. 5 to the agreement for engineering services with HDR Engineering, Inc.,
increasing part-time construction phase services to account for an additional 7-month period, and
administration services for an additional 8-month period in the amount not to exceed $110,457,
bringing the total amended contract amount to $798,257 is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 22nd day of October, 2024.
