File No . 08 - 5598 <br /> Geotechnical , Environmental and <br /> Materials Consultants <br /> Indian River County Board of County Commissioners <br /> Engineering Division <br /> 1801 27th Street <br /> Vero Beach , Florida 32960 <br /> Attention : Ms . Jill Williams <br /> Subject : Change Order Request for <br /> Construction Materials Testing Services <br /> 12th Street Sidewalk Project from 16th Avenue to 11th Place <br /> Vero Beach , Indian River County , Florida <br /> IRC Project # 0216 <br /> Ms . Williams : <br /> As you are aware , Ardaman has been providing construction materials testing services for the above <br /> referenced project . Prior to the start of the project , we provided a cost estimate to perform testing <br /> services based on estimates of the number of tests and man - hours that were determined using the <br /> project information that was available at the time . The final cost for our services is a function of the <br /> number of tests and man - hours that were actually required during construction , including additional <br /> costs beyond what was originally estimated . Usually , we try to be slightly conservative with our <br /> estimate to prevent change orders and attempt to account for unforeseen changes in scope , <br /> additional items or delays that may occur during the course of construction , which inevitably occur <br /> given the nature of construction . <br /> Various unforeseen , relatively minor items required additional testing during the course of <br /> construction that resulted in our original estimate being slightly exceeded . <br /> The final cost of our construction testing services for the project is $2 , 616 . 00 , which is $288 . 00 more <br /> than our original estimate of $2 , 382 . 00 . Therefore , we are requesting a change order for the <br /> amount of $ 288 . 00 for the balance of the cost of our services for the project . <br /> We appreciate working with you and the County on this project and look forward to working with you <br /> on future projects . Please call if you have any questions or require additional information . <br /> Sincerely , <br /> ARDAMAN & ASSOCIATES , INC . <br /> JanJ . rallack , P .
