C negotiations is a not to exceed number of $14,960.08, excluding stucco and grouting. The grouting portion will be done by the Contractor at a cost of $806.25 a day plus $5.40 per cubic foot of grout or approximately $4,000 for this work. This would make the total additional work approximately $18,960. These figures include overhead and profit for Robert F. Wilson Construction Company. The Construction Manager will pursue any additional savings available if some of the walls to be grouted are found to have been poured in*prior.construction work. The stucco portion of PR #5 has been removed and a new PR will be issued for inclusion in a following change order that will be submitted to the Board of County Commissioners for approval. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: The Construction Manager contacted the Project Manager late in the afternoon on Friday, June 1, 1990, advising of the final figure negotiated and requested authority to advise the Contractor to proceed with the work Monday morning. The reason for the urgency is that this matter has been ongoing since January, 1990, when the Building Department issued a Conditional Permit for the project to begin. The Architect has taken so long in resolving the area separation wall matter that the Contractor is now at the point in the project that he could be eligible for and seek additional time and money since his construction schedule is possibly being adversely impacted. The County Administrator took all factors under consideration and approved the request with the objective of adding the matter to the agenda for retroactive approval by the Board on June 5, 1990. The position taken by the County Administrator is that any additional funding will be reviewed to determine if costs exceed what the initial costs would have been if the specifications had been included in and bid on in the original documents. Staff submits that an amount approximately equal to PR #5 would have been in the base bid if it had been included in the original specifications. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners retroactively approve the action by the County Administrator and authorize the Architect to issue Change Order #3 which when combined with the credit in PR #2, the total for Change Order #3 will be $11,030.40. The Change Order will not include any additional construction time. Staff also recommends that the Board authorize the Chairperson to execute the formal Change Order. The original bid award for the contract was $5,103,000. No additional funding was required in Change Order #1 since ten days was given to the Contractor. Change Order #2 adds $8,853 and if approved, Change Order #3 will add $11,030.40 making the adjusted contract amount $5,122,883.40. Since no time is being added, the completion date remains March 11, 1991.
