ASSEMBLY REGULAR MEETING
SUBJECT: Contract No. FY2021-17 Change Order No.1 With CH2M Hill Engineers For
Services During Construction For The Landfill Stage 3 Closure Project In An
Amount Not To Exceed $25,000
ORIGINATOR: Project Manager/Inspector, Matt Gandel
RECOMMENDATION:
Move to authorize the Manager to execute Change Order No. 1 to Contract No. FY2021-17
with CH2M Hill Engineers for services during construction for the Landfill Stage 3 Closure
project in an amount not to exceed $25,000.
DISCUSSION:
In April 2021 the Assembly approved a contract with CH2M Hill Engineers for design, bidding
assistance, and services during construction for the Landfill Stage 3 Closure project. Design
was completed in October 2021, the project was issued for public bid in November 2021, and
the Assembly awarded a contract to the low bidder in January 2022.
In March 2022, CH2M Hill notified KIB staff that the design and bidding phases had required
more resources than anticipated, and there were not sufficient funds available to complete the
project. Some of these additional costs can be attributed to correspondence with the United
States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development (funding source) which required
extensive review and modifications to standard bid and contract specifications to meet USDA
requirements. Additionally, during the bid process there were extended conversations with
KIB staff about adding blasting and processing of rock as part of the project scope. Ultimately
the bid specifications were modified to add blasting and processing of rock required for the
contractor to complete the project, and an additional unit price was added for blasting and
processing of additional rock for future landfill cover.
Due to these unanticipated scope items the consultant costs for design and bidding exceeded
the available budget, and additional funds are required to complete the construction phase.
Services during construction includes reviewing and responding to Requests for Information,
reviewing submittals, and attending project meetings. Staff has reviewed the costs submitted
to date and the proposed additional costs and feels the request is reasonable.
ALTERNATIVES:
Take no action or do not approve the change order. Neither of these are recommended as
consultant services will be required to successfully complete the construction phase of the
project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The design and services during construction costs for this project are being funded by a loan
from United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development.

Subject: REVISED Fee Proposal for Kodiak Landfill Stage 3 Closure Final Design and
Services During Construction
Dear Dave,
CH2M HILL Engineers, Inc. (Jacobs) is pleased to provide this revised fee proposal for final
design for interim closure of a portion of the Kodiak Landfill, hereby called the Stage 3
Closure. The purpose of this interim closure is to divert clean stormwater away from the
Leachate lagoon to reduce the volume of leachate that must be treated in the Leachate
Treatment Plant. Jacobs has already prepared a concept design for the Stage 3 Closure.
The concept design has been reviewed by KIB and has been submitted to ADEC for
information purposes. We suggest the following scope of work:
Task 1 — 80% Design and Draft Bid Documents. Jacobs will address KIB comments on the
concept design and will generate 80% design drawings, and draft bid documents including
technical specs and bidding requirements.
A list of proposed design drawings is provided in Attachment 1. A list of proposed
technical specifications is provided in Attachment 2. The design will consider the
geotechnical question of leaving the interim portions of the Liner in place or if removal will
be required prior to placement of final lifts. Following submittal of the 80% design, Jacobs
and KIB will have a teleconference to discuss and resolve comments.
Deliverables: 80% design drawings (all drawings to 80% completion); technical
specifications (all specifications to 80% completion); draft bid documents; AACE

ALTERNATE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
A. Client and Engineer understand and appreciate that their long term mutual interests will be
best served by affecting a rapid and fair resolution of any claims or disputes which may
arise out of this Agreement. Therefore, both Parties agree to use their best efforts to resolve
all such disputes as rapidly as possible on a fair and equitable basis. Toward this end both
Parties agree to develop and follow a process for presenting, rapidly assessing, and settling
claims on a fair and equitable basis.
B. If any dispute or claim arising under this Agreement cannot be resolved by the project
managers for the Parties within thirty (30) days after they identified the problem, the Parties
agree that either of them may refer the matter to a panel consisting of one (1) executive from
each party not directly involved in the claim or dispute for review and resolution. A copy of
the Agreement, agreed upon facts (and areas of disagreement), and concise summary of the
basis for each side's contentions will be provided to both executives who shall review the
same, confer, and attempt to reach a mutual resolution of the issue.
C. If the dispute cannot be resolved under the process set forth in Section B, the Parties may
elect to resolve the dispute through non-binding mediation. If mediation is to be utilized,
the Parties shall select a single unrelated but qualified Mediator who shall hold a hearing
(not to exceed half a day) during which each Party shall present its version of the facts
(supported, if desired, by sworn, written testimony, and other relevant documents), its
assessment of damages, and its argument. The Parties shall provide the Mediator with

Page 8 of 10
copies of all documents provided to their senior executives under Section B at least ten (10)
days prior to the scheduled date of the mediation hearing. The Parties may also provide the
Mediator with copies of any laws or regulations that they feel are relevant to the dispute. A
copy of the Agreement and any disputed Purchase Orders will be provided to the Mediator.
Formal written arguments, legal memorandum, and live testimony are discouraged but may
be permitted at the discretion of the Mediator. Both Parties agree to make any involved
employees or documents available to the other Party for its review and use in preparing its
position under this clause without the need for subpoena or other court order.
D. Following the mediation, the Mediator will meet with both Parties and provide each of
them, on a confidential basis, with his/her views of the strengths and weaknesses of their
respective positions. The Parties will then reconvene and, with the assistance of the
Mediator, attempt to resolve the matter. If the Parties cannot achieve resolution on the day
of the mediation hearing or within forty-eight (48) hours thereafter, the Mediator will,
within fifteen (15) additional days, issue a written, non-binding decision on the issue.
E. If the matter has not been resolved utilizing the processes set forth above and the Parties are
unwilling to accept the non-binding decision of the Mediator, either or both Parties may
elect to pursue resolution through litigation. In the event of any litigation between the
Parties, it is agreed and stipulated that the case shall be heard and decided by the court,
without a jury.
F. The costs of the Mediator shall be borne equally by the Parties. Each Party will bear its own
costs of mediation.

Subject: REVISED Fee Proposal for Kodiak Landfill Stage 3 Closure Final Design and
Services During Construction
Dear Dave,
CH2M HILL Engineers, Inc. (Jacobs) is pleased to provide this revised fee proposal for final
design for interim closure of a portion of the Kodiak Landfill, hereby called the Stage 3
Closure. The purpose of this interim closure is to divert clean stormwater away from the
Leachate lagoon to reduce the volume of leachate that must be treated in the Leachate
Treatment Plant. Jacobs has already prepared a concept design for the Stage 3 Closure.
The concept design has been reviewed by KIB and has been submitted to ADEC for
information purposes. We suggest the following scope of work:
Task 1 — 80% Design and Draft Bid Documents. Jacobs will address KIB comments on the
concept design and will generate 80% design drawings, and draft bid documents including
technical specs and bidding requirements.
A list of proposed design drawings is provided in Attachment 1. A list of proposed
technical specifications is provided in Attachment 2. The design will consider the
geotechnical question of leaving the interim portions of the liner in place or if removal will
be required prior to placement of final lifts. Following submittal of the 80% design, Jacobs
and KIB will have a teleconference to discuss and resolve comments.
Deliverables: 80% design drawings (all drawings to 80% completion); technical
specifications (all specifications to 80% completion); draft bid documents; AACE
CH2M HILL, Inc.

Class 2 construction cost estimate (expected accuracy -5% to +20%), 80% basis of
design report, and response to comments.
Assumptions: KIB will provide a copy of the latest front-end bid documents in
electronic format that can be adapted for this project. The basis of design report
will be a series of technical memoranda by engineering discipline including: cover
design; grading; and stormwater. This set of documents can be forwarded to ADEC
for their review.
Task 2 — Final Design and Bid Documents. Jacobs will address KIB comments and finalize
the drawings, technical specifications, and bid documents.
Deliverables: 100% design drawings; technical specifications; final bid documents;
AACE Class 1 construction cost estimate (expected accuracy -3% to +15%), and
response to comments.
Assumptions: KIB will review the final bid documents, confirm appropriate dates for
bidding and construction, and will manage the release of bid documents via KIB
website, local newspapers, or other methods.
Task 3 — Services During Bidding and Construction. Cory Hinds will attend a pre-bid
teleconference and Jacobs will respond to questions from bidders (allotment of 16 hours
to respond to bidder questions). During the bid period, Jacobs will respond to bidder
questions and issue addenda (allotment of 24 hours for addenda) as directed by KIB.
During construction, Jacobs will track, review and approve submittals (allotment of 64
hours for submittals) as directed by KIB. Jacobs will set up an internet and email -based
system using Bentley Connection Client for receiving incoming submittals and posting
submittal responses. Jacobs will track the progress of submittals and provide summary of
status as needed. Cory Hinds will attend bi-weekly construction meetings via
teleconference (allotment of 10 hours for construction meetings) to work through
construction details and issues with KIB and the construction contractor. Preparation of
field directives and record drawings are not included but can be added later if requested.
No travel is anticipated at this time but can be added as needed via amendment.

of checking for conformance with information given and the design concept expressed in the
contract documents. The Engineer's action shall be taken with such reasonable promptness
as to cause no delay in the work while allowing sufficient time in the Engineer's professional
judgment to permit adequate review. Review of such submittals will not be conducted for the
purpose of determining the accuracy and completeness of other details such as dimensions
and quantities or for substantiating instructions for installation or performance of equipment or
systems designed by the construction contractor, all of which remain the responsibility of the
construction contractor. The Engineer's review shall not constitute approval of safety precautions or
of construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures. The Engineer's approval of a
specific item shall not indicate approval of an assembly of which the item is a component.
C. Engineer shall not assume any responsibility or liability for performance of the construction
services, or for the safety of persons and property during construction, or for compliance with
federal, state and local statutes, rules, regulations and codes applicable to the conduct of the
construction services.
D. All services performed by others, including construction contractors and their subcontractors,
shall be warranted only by such others and not by the Engineer.

ARTICLE 21
GOVERNING LAW

Alaska.
ARTICLE 22
ALTERNATE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
A Client and Engineer understand and appreciate that their long term mutual interests will be
best served by affecting a rapid and fair resolution of any claims or disputes which may arise
out of this Agreement. Therefore, both Parties agree to use their best efforts to resolve all such
disputes as rapidly as possible on a fair and equitable basis. Toward this end both Parties agree
to develop and follow a process for presenting, rapidly assessing, and settling claims on a fair
and equitable basis.
B. If any dispute or claim arising under this Agreement cannot be resolved by the project
managers for the Parties within thirty (30) days after they identified the problem, the Parties
agree that either of them may refer the matter to a panel consisting of one (1) executive from
each party not directly involved in the claim or dispute for review and resolution. A copy of
the Agreement, agreed upon facts (and areas of disagreement), and concise summary of the
basis for each side's contentions will be provided to both executives who shall review the
same, confer, and attempt to reach a mutual resolution of the issue.
C. If the dispute cannot be resolved under the process set forth in Section B, the Parties may elect
to resolve the dispute through non-binding mediation. If mediation is to be utilized, the Parties
shall select a single unrelated but qualified Mediator who shall hold a hearing (not to exceed
half a day) during which each Party shall present its version of the facts (supported, if desired,
by sworn, written testimony, and other relevant documents), its assessment of damages, and
its argument. The Parties shall provide the Mediator with copies of all documents provided
to their senior executives under Section B at least ten (10) days prior to the scheduled date of the
mediation hearing. The Parties may also provide the Mediator with copies of any laws or regulations
that they feel are relevant to the dispute. A copy of the Agreement and any disputed Purchase Orders
will be provided to the Mediator. Formal written arguments, legal memorandum, and live testimony
are discouraged but may be permitted at the discretion of the Mediator. Both Parties agree to make
any involved employees or documents available to the other Party for its review and use in preparing
its position under this clause without the need for subpoena or other court order.
D. Following the mediation, the Mediator will meet with both Parties and provide each of them,
on a confidential basis, with his/her views of the strengths and weaknesses of their respective
positions. The Parties will then reconvene and, with the assistance of the Mediator, attempt to
resolve the matter. If the Parties cannot achieve resolution on the day of the mediation hearing
or within forty-eight (48) hours thereafter, the Mediator will, within fifteen (15) additional
days, issue a written, non-binding decision on the issue.

E. If the matter has not been resolved utilizing the processes set forth above and the Parties are
unwilling to accept the non-binding decision of the Mediator, either or both Parties may elect
to pursue resolution through litigation. In the event of any litigation between the Parties, it is
agreed and stipulated that the case shall be heard and decided by the court, without a jury.
E The costs of the Mediator shall be borne equally by the Parties. Each Party will bear its own
costs of mediation.
