COLUMBUS-TUSTIN WELL PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency, at their meeting of May 20, 1985,
authorize a time extension to July 20, 1985 for the Columbus-Tustin Well Project
contract.
BACKGROUND:
In January, 1985, the Tustin Community Redevelopment Agency awarded a contract to
Caliagua, Inc. for the construction of the Columbus-Tustin Well Project. The
award of contract was for the accelerated schedule with a time completion of 100
calendar days. The accelerated time schedule was included as an alternate bid
item at an additional cost of $3,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
The contractor-has implemented this contract on the accelerated schedule and will
complete all required work prior to May 31, 1985 (the contract completion date)
with one exception. This exception is the pump motor which is being supplied by
the General Electric Company. Correspondence has been received from General
Electric that the motor will not be available for shipment until July 5, 1985.
The contractor anticipates seven days for shipping and one week or less for final
installation and turn-on.
It is my understanding that after the motor was ordered by the contractor in
February, 1985, that General Electric relocated its plant facilities from San
Jose, California to Tennessee. This relocation of plant facilities resulted in
the current delay for delivery of the motor. This unit is a special order high
ener~ty efficient motor which is not a shelf stocked item. General Electric has
indicated that they will attempt to accelerate the shipping date if at all
feasible.

The contractor, Caliagua Inc., will have all other work completed on this project
prior to May 31, 1985. They have indicated that the motor installation can be
completed in no more than 2-3 days once it has been made available from the
manufacturer. Based upon the above information, Caliagua Inc. is requesting a
time extension on the subject contract until July 20, 1985. Staff has reviewed
the circumstances of this request and request that the Agency grant said time
extension.
