Consideration of Amendment No. 3 with Crossland Heavy Contractors, Inc. for construction of the West Cedar Creek Sewer Interceptor Project, 1-C-011-24.

________________________________________________________________________________
Summary:
This project includes the design and construction of a new gravity sanitary sewer interceptor from the City’s existing 159th Street and Cedar Lake lift stations to the south end of Lake Olathe along Dennis Avenue. At the north end of the interceptor, a new regional lift station will be constructed, and all flows will be pumped through a new force main from the lift station at Dennis Avenue all the way to the north side of 135th Street. From there, it will return to a gravity interceptor all the way to the City’s Cedar Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant located on 119th Street west of Clare Road. These improvements will also allow for sanitary sewer service to areas along Old 56 Highway west of Robinson Drive and areas north of 135th Street that currently do not have the ability to be provided service.
On January 31, 2024, the City advertised a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to provide Construction Manager At Risk (CMAR) services for construction of this project. Crossland Heavy Contractors, Inc. was selected as the Construction Manager and a pre-construction phase services contract was awarded by City Council on June 4, 2024.
The project has been split into multiple Guaranteed Max Price (GMP) packages to facilitate an expedited construction schedule. The first two GMPs established for this project are as follows:
GMP No. 1 - $1,543,553.00: Work includes pre-blast survey, tree clearing along the alignment, and general site work.
GMP No. 2 - $30,044,776: Work includes 5.6 miles of gravity interceptor sewer, 2.1 miles of forcemain sewer, four auger borings, and blasting and excavation of the lift station site.
This Amendment establishes the price of GMP No. 3 at $4,781,574. Work in this GMP includes all structural concrete with appurtenances for the new lift station facility, procurement of some major equipment, and process piping.
The final anticipated GMP for this project will include the remaining construction items associated with the regional lift station on the south side of Lake Olathe. This GMP is expected to be presented to Council for consideration in June 2025.
Work in GMP No. 1 is nearing completion, and work in GMP No. 2 began in April 2025. Project completion is currently anticipated in Fall 2026.
