The City Council is being asked to approve an additional $397,00 at the council meeting on Tuesday, June 13 via the consent calendar, meaning it is not open for public input. Here is the relevant description:
"The final design
documents added more interface data points (equating to 188 man-days) than were
removed (90 man-days) netting an additional scope of 98 man-days.
This, combined with the additional ($5K) for the demand billing modifications, equals
$103,000.00 for change order 004. This item increases the previously approved
Itineris contract by $103,000.00 and represents additional interface work to be
done by Itineris.
The amount of
$294,000.00 represents 50% of the cost associated with extending the project
timeline. It took an extra four months to finalize the interface designs
(change order 004), neither GUS nor Itineris fully anticipated the length of
the delay and both are sharing in the costs.
The designs were
due this past December and served as prerequisites to the start of the next
project phase. Work could not begin until the interface designs were
completed and that occurred in April. In change order 004, GUS increased
the number of interfaces needed for the project which also impacted the
timeline.
Itineris also
concluded that the CIS customer portal needed some important additional
features. They agreed to make the necessary modifications to their customer
web portal as outlined in change order 005. As a result, Itineris is
absorbing the other 50% costs associated with the 4-month delay and will
utilize the extended timeline to incorporate the additional features."
Thus we see that the total cost has increased $691,000, of which the city is liable for $397,000.
