BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br /> 4���co <br /> G <br /> February 24, 2016 <br /> �LORIOp' . <br /> Mr. Roger Whitman <br /> Chief Financial Officer <br /> KAST Construction Company, LLC <br /> 701 Northpoint Parkway, Suite 400 <br /> West Palm Beach, Fl 33407 <br /> Re: Indian River County Intergenerational Recreation Facility <br /> 1590 9`h Street SW, Vero Beach, FI. <br /> Delay Claim Time Extension <br /> Dear Mr. Whitman: <br /> In response to your email of January 25, 2016, the Indian River County Public Works <br /> Department forwarded to me your request for 68 days of delay time from April 16, 2016 to June <br /> 23, 2016, the day Change Order #I was approved by the Indian River County Board of County <br /> Commissioners, thereby authorizing the additional footer and wall work to be performed. <br /> Borrelli & Partners, Inc. also reviewed your January 25, 2016 email, and they have reservations <br /> about the additional days beyond May 27, 2016, the date of issuance of the conformed drawings <br /> for the project. Borrelli is of the opinion that the additional time is excessive since the foundation <br /> modifications were previously known, understood, and communicated in advance to KAST on <br /> May 7, 2015, 20-days prior to the issuance of the Conformed Documents. <br /> In a letter from Robert Binford dated June 30, 2015, Mr. Binford requested 76 days of delay time <br /> from April 16, 2016 to June 30, 2016 and a total delay cost of$278,333.33. This total delay cost <br /> is not acceptable to the County. Specifically, a daily cost of $2,285.86 for each day of delay <br /> included the daily cost of the field office of $1,276.38 from the itemized bid schedule of the <br /> Contract Documents and an additional $1,009.48 for daily cost associated with the project, which <br /> we find unacceptable. <br /> In order to bring this issue to a close, we are willing to present to the Board of County <br /> Commissioners for consideration a Change Order to add 68 days to the contract, to include a <br /> request for funding of 68 additional days for the field office at $1,276.38 per day, for a total <br /> additional cost of $86,793.84. As a condition of us presenting the above Change Order to the <br /> Board, we would expect KAST to retract the additional delay charges outlined in the June 30, <br /> 2015 letter for the 68-day period, as work continued on the project and KAST was required to <br /> have supervision on site. <br /> 140 <br />
