On March 12, 1996, the Board of County Commissioners approved a
<br />reduction in the retainage amount for the above -referenced project.
<br />The project's construction was accepted by the County on May 10,
<br />1996, when the County transferred the maintenance responsibility
<br />from the contractor to Ecotech Consultants, Inc. The contractor
<br />will continue to provide the pumping system to water the wetland
<br />cells until July 5, 1996.
<br />ANALYSIS
<br />-The cost for the pump rental, fuel expenses and labor accrued
<br />during the period of May 10, 1996 to July 5, 1996 is $6,806.37,
<br />(See the figures on the attached).
<br />Due to the low water elevation, the littoral zone in the deep
<br />settling pond is dry. Until the water level in the deep settling
<br />pond is high enough, the littoral zone cannot be planted. For this
<br />reason, the County has waved the contractor's responsibility to
<br />plant the subject area. The cost to plant the littoral zone is
<br />$2,600.00, which will be deducted from the contract. Therefore,
<br />the net amount of change will be $4,206.37. This amount is
<br />proposed and recommended as Change Order No. 4.
<br />The total contract amount is adjusted from $1,846,476-.-40-to a new
<br />contract amount of $1,850,682.77.
<br />The staff. of the IIeparLzer t of Utility Services recommends approval
<br />of.the following: _
<br />1. Change Order No. 4, in the amount of $4,206.37..
<br />2. Adjust the contract amount to $1,850,682.77.
