Commissioner Adams asked about the miscellaneous changes in Item #9, and Project Engineer Jim Keeven explained that the major costs involved the ductwork, conduit, controls and added filters for the air handlers. Mr. Glenewinkle advised that two issues were not included in the change order and must be addressed. One item is moving all insulation to the outside of the air handling system so the insulation is not in the air flow. The other item is relocating an exterior louver. The bus which transports prisoners is not supposed to stop there ordinarily, but if it does, the louver can be closed to prevent diesel fumes from entering the system. Commissioner Eggert asked for an explanation of Item #3, the change in the dimensions of the entry portico. Steve Krone of the architectural firm of Pierce, Goodwin, Alexander & Linville (PGA&L) explained that some foundations and stem walls had not been shown on the bid documents and there were dimensional discrepancies which had to be corrected at a cost of $2,924. Commissioner Eggert asked whether Item #8 involved existing sewer and water lines. Mr. Glenewinkle explained that it involved not existing lines but new water and sewer lines which had to be adjusted because they entered the building at the same level as the footing for the foundation. Commissioner Macht asked whether the change in the roof slope had anything to do with aesthetics, and Mr. Glenewinkle responded in the negative. The change was to add drains and move some drains. - Mr. Glenewinkle pointed out that the American Institute of Architects sets percentages on governmental projects as to change orders. This project is well under those percentages, and he looks forward to continuing in that position. County Administrator Jim Chandler agreed, and advised that we are one half of one percent over on the whole project. He presented the following status report showing costs and changes in contract price: 43 OCT 2o 1993BooK �U ��!,c%5
