[ 12 ] CHULA VISTA CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF: J uly 16, 19 74 ITEM TITLE: Resolution - Approving Change Order to Contract for Remodeling Chlorine Room at Memorial Park Pool INITIATED BY: Director of Public Works/City Engineer � BACKGROUND On March 19, 1974, the City Council, by Resolution 7248, awarded a contract to R. W. Kurtz, General Building Contractor, in the amount of $8,236 for the remodeling of the chlorine room at D2emorial Park pool. A change order was approved by the Director of Public Works on May 6, 1974 which increased the contract price to $8, 289.05. When this project was initially advertised, bidders were requested to submit an alternate bid to provide and install a chlorine scale. This alternate however was rejected on all bids for financial reasons. Since the opening of the bids and award of the contract, we have been made aware of Title 17-7806-e-9 of the California Health and Safety Code and the California Administrative Code which requires that "a scale for determining weight of chlorine used shall be provided" when compressed chlorine gas is used. Therefore, it is recommended that the required chlarine scale be provided and installed as soon as possible. The contractor, R. W. Kurtz, will provide and install a scale manufactured by Western Scale Co. , Inc. for $2 , 354. A tank cradle to hold the chlorine cylinder will be provided and installed for an additional $262. No other contractor was contacted for this installation but by comparison with the alternates initially bid, it seems like a fair price.
