* Grant authority to increase contract with Westech Construction Co., Inc. in the amount of $211,595 to repair deteriorated pavement for the SE Raymond St. and SE 28th Ave. Detention Pipe and Pipe Upgrade, Project No. 6880 (Ordinance; amend Contract No. 33662)

The City of Portland ordains:

Section 1.  The Council finds:

1.  The construction contract amount has been exceeded by $211,595 for extra work, primarily due to

unanticipated failure of the pavement on SE 28^th Avenue during construction.

2.  The revised contract amount resulting from this increase will be $650,895. Funds are available in the Sewer Systems Operating Fund, FY 2001-2002 Budget, Bureau of Environmental Services, Center Code 145 22 1110, Project No. 6880, Object Code 567000.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Council directs:

a.  The Bureau of Environmental Services is hereby authorized to approve extra work activity for Contract No. 33662 with Westech Construction Co., Inc. in the amount of $211,595, or approximately forty-nine percent of the original contract amount.

b.  The Mayor and Auditor are hereby authorized to draw and deliver warrants chargeable to the Sewer System Operating Fund, FY 2001-2002 Budget, when demand is presented and approved by the proper authority.

Section 2.  The Council declares that an emergency exists because further delay on the project could result in even higher costs incurred. Therefore, this ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage by the Council.
