8. 0. SECTOR 3 BEACH RESTORATIONPROJECT CHANGE ORDER #4 - FUEL <br /> COST ADJUSTMENT. RANGER CONSTRUCTIONINDUSTRIES, INC <br /> Commissioner Davis voiced concerns over escalating fuel prices and the resulting <br /> Change Orders for cost adjustments . He wanted to know what could be done to keep this from <br /> coming back to the Board on a continuing basis , and if it would make sense to continue the <br /> permit on Phase III . <br /> Director Mora reported that staff had reviewed the overall cost of Ranger Construction <br /> Industries , Inc . ' s (Ranger) request for a fuel cost adjustment, and interpreted what the <br /> adjustments would mean if there was a 20% increase in fuel . He recommended approval of <br /> Change Order No . 4 , granting Ranger a fuel cost adjustment of up to $ 1 . 01 per cubic yard of <br /> sand for 261 , 077 cubic yards , for Phase II only, and with a cap on fuel cost adjustments . <br /> County Administrator Joseph Baird voiced concern over escalating fuel costs and felt that <br /> giving Ranger more latitude would allow less control of the project for the County . He <br /> supported the cap on fuel cost adjustments , and encouraged Ranger to complete the project as <br /> soon as possible . <br /> Director Mora calculated that another $ 700 , 000 in engineering and monitoring costs <br /> would be required if the project were to be extended to Phase III , into late 2011 . <br /> County Coastal Engineer James Gray, Jr. clarified that whether the project is completed <br /> early or truncated, four years of monitoring would be required — one year for immediate post <br /> construction monitoring and three years for annual monitoring . He informed the Board that staff <br /> has a meeting scheduled for April 6th with the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to <br /> seek relief of monitoring requirements , and that the current permit specifies preconstruction <br /> monitoring for sections that are not completed . <br /> April 5 , 2011 11 <br />
