Dear Mr. Hall:
Subject: Water Facilities Design
Request for Contract AmTndment
We are neatring the conclusion of R.W. Beck s work on the City's water system
improvements, and the project has come together very well. There has been some additional
work performed beyond the scope of our agreement for which we have incurred additional costs.
This letter describes the additional work performed, and we request an amendment to our
agreement authorizing additional payment for these services.
1. Substitution of Oregon APWA Standard Specifications. The Scope of Services
specifies the use of the ~EJ_CD Construction Contract Documents format. At the
City's request, R.W. Beck instead prepared the contract documents based upon
the Oregon Standard Specifications for Public Works. This entailed extensive
efforts in drafting Part I of the contract documents, ensuring the City's standard
contract language was properly incorporated into a new format without, conflicting
provisions. Technical specifications also required redrafting for both technical
and format consistency with the new standard specifications.
The City has received considerable value for this effort, in that it serves as a
prototype contract document which conforms to the new public works standard
in the State of Oregon. As contractors become familiar with the standard
specification, construction contract administration will be facilitated.

Pre-bid Meetings. At the City's request, R.W. Beck staff conducted two pre-bid
meetings. These were specifically outside the contract.
J
Additional Bid Packages. Two additional printings were made of the Reservoir
and Pump Station bid package at the City's request, totalling 10 extra sets of
documents beyond the .3~0,sets specified in the Scope of Services.
Additional Engineering. If you will recall, our original budget for completing
this work was considerably higher than the amount the City had allocated in its
budget; hence, the budget was tight from the outset. Completing the Scope of
Work as defined in our agreement has, in fact, required engineering effort beyond
the contract budget.
The quality of the work provided by R.W. Beck has been very high, as evidenced
by the low construction bids received for both projects and the tight-bunched
bidding. Such bids are indicative not only of the favorable bidding envirohrnent,
but are also due to the clarity and completeness of the bid documents themselves.
This is further supported by the construction performance of the Waterline
Installation contract. Very few change orders were processed on this job, and
none were a result of engineering oversights. I should also point out that, to-
date, the project schedule has been maintained, with the reservoir and pump
station scheduled to be completed by early September.
Considering the value the City has received from the high-quality work provided
by R.W. Beck in the form of competitively priced additions to the water system
that are well within the City's budget, we request additional compensation for the
effort required to produce these cost savings for the City. We wish to continue
to provide quality service to the City throughout the balance of construction
without being excessively constrained by the prospect of a cost overrun.
Outside of the Water Facilities Design work, R.W. Beck also performed, at the City's
request, supplemental pipe network analyses using the KYPIPE model to study the effect of
proposed service revisions. In cooperation with the City, we also evaluated possible changes
to the system to serve the new high zone directly through the pumps. We request an agreement
for this work.
