JAN 21 ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously approved the DOT's request for a maximum of $33,000 to complete the Phase I Closed Loop System; funding from Fund 109 Secondary Road Trust Fund, as set out in the above staff recommendation. NORTH BEACH WELLS - FINAL CHANGE ORDER AND PAYMENT REQUEST The Board reviewed the following memo dated 1/13/92: TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER - COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR DATE: FROM: TERRANCE G. PINTO DIRECTOR OF UTILITY SERVICES PREPARED WILLIAM F MCCAIN AND STAFFED CAPITAL JECTS ENGINEER BY: DEP AR ILITY SERVICES JANUARY 13, 1992 SUBJECT: NORTH BEACH WELLS - FINAL CHANGE ORDER AND PAY REQUEST INDIAN RIVER COUNTY PROJECT NO. UW -89 -10 -DC BACKGROUND Construction of this project began in January 1990 by Diversified Drilling Corporation at an awarded amount of $183,242.00. Two previous change orders were brought to the Board of County Commissioners and approved for a total contract increase of $14,443.00. These items were necessitated due to difficulties encountered during drilling of Well No. 3 (see attached agenda items and minutes dated May 21, 1991 and September 3, 1991). The completion of these contract changes have resulted in the successful drilling of a supply well for the North Beach R.O. facility. As was mentioned in previous agenda items, if this well was successful (i.e., relatively low chlorides and flow in excess of 475 GPM), we* would be able to blend water from Well No. 3 with the lesser quality water of Well No. 2 and eliminate the necessity of abandoning Well No. 2. Due to the above senario, we no longer need to drill a replacement well for Well No. 2. This has occurred, and we are, therefore, bringing a final change order for a contract deduct of $82,436.95. ANALYSIS The contract amount with Change Orders No. 1 and 2 was $197,685.00. The final contract amount is to be $115,248.05, netting a savings of $82,436.95. For a detailed breakdown of deducts, please see the attached *"Final Reconciliation for Change Order No. 3." Also attached are three original change orders for the Commission's execution. Release of lien has been secured, and we wish to make final payment to the contractor in the amount of $14,350.81. RECOMMENDATION The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached Change Order No. 3 and the final pay request in the amount of $14,350.81 to Diversified Drilling Corporation. 3 6'
