construction administration. Even though construction was impeded <br />by the rain, they were out there many days during that period. <br />Chairman Adams believed this is an excessive cost under those <br />circumstances. Just because he did a little bit here and a little <br />bit there, it resulted in an extra charge to us of almost $30,000 <br />just for engineering fees. She didn't feel that the contractor or <br />the engineer was looking out for our best interests. She believed <br />that when a contractor cannot proceed in a normal path, he should <br />hold up everything he can to avoid additional costs for the project <br />owner. <br />Commissioner Eggert felt it was up to the Utilities Department <br />to keep on top of the project to see if there were other things <br />that they could be doing that they would have had to do anyway. <br />Mr. McCain explained that when it rains for 3-5 days, the <br />impact of that weather can last 30-45 days after the rain stops. <br />Chairman Adams stated that she was beginning to have a problem <br />with the engineering fee extensions that have been coming back to <br />us pretty regularly. <br />Mr. McCain pointed out that we are still doing very well on <br />our engineering fees on this project overall. The fees break out <br />at 7.3% and typically they run 8.9% -in a project of this size. He <br />believed the engineer would not do a project like this one again at <br />this price, even with the additional fees. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. <br />The Motion passed unanimously. <br />WETLANDS <br />PRO TECT <br />- WEST REGIONAL <br />WASTEWATER <br />TREATI��NT <br />PLANT - <br />CHANGE ORDER #3A & <br />#3B -COASTAL <br />CONSTRUCTION <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 1/3/96: <br />33 BOOK 97 F'AE Of) <br />JANUARY 9, 1996 <br />I <br />
