CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: TERRANCE G. PI <br />DIRECTOR OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />PREPARED ROBERT O. WISEMEN, P.E. <br />AND STAFFED ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER <br />?JP1 <br />BY:- DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />SUBJECT: FORCE MAIN FROM GROVE ISLE TO VERO SHORES <br />WORK AUTHORIZATION NO. 21, CHANGE ORDER 1 <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY BID NO. 4007 <br />BACKGROUND <br />On March 15, 1994, the Board of County Commissioners approved the <br />Labor Contract (Work Authorization No. 21 for Driveways, Inc.) to <br />construct the above-mentioned force main. The original approved <br />contract was in the amount of $42,076.99. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The project is approximately 40% complete. The field evidence shows <br />a difference from the initial survey data. Based on actual <br />conditions in the field, the construction has to be altered from the <br />original design. Some of the pipe must be replaced by ductile iron <br />pipe with mechanical .joints, or in some situations, the proposed <br />force main must be buried 18 inches deeper than the normal depth to <br />meet FDEP regulations. <br />Due to fiber optic telephone wire all within the right-of-ways, the <br />contractor must hand dig the trench. This was reflected as a <br />hardship item. Also, because of bad soil conditions in some areas <br />combined with high ground water after rain, the dewatering and <br />restoration of sodding costs are more extensive than originally <br />estimated. During construction, the disconnection and reconnection <br />of the traffic sequence control wire was unavoidable. The cost of <br />this repair is $1,200.00, payable to the traffic engineering <br />department. The cost for additional ductile iron pipe is estimated <br />at $16,150.00. <br />This change order will increase the original contract amount by <br />$34,031.20 to a new contract amount of $76,108.19. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends approval <br />of the following: <br />1. Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $34,031.20. <br />2. A new contract amount adjusted to $76,108.19. <br />3. Reimbursement to the traffic engineering department in the <br />amount of $1,200.00 for repair of traffic sequence wire. <br />4. Purchase of additional DIP in the amount of $16,150.00. <br />28 <br />
