BEA #40036 $14,081.00 CM Provide ext louvers at UV’s between
Contingency stairs 4 and 7, not shown on elevation
Mr. Hawley explained that CCA #20196 is for cutting and patching, where existing
mechanicals, ductwork, and wall construction didn’t match the drawings. It was
needed in the gym areas and around the stairwells.
CCA #30040 was to provide independent power feeds to the fitness equipment that the Board of Education had received as a gift.
CCA #30036, and BEA #40036 are a split for an in-scope vs. out of scope change
for the mechanical contractor. Subsequent to submitting the large claim that
is currently being worked on, they noted that there are some louvers on the
exterior of the building that are not on certain drawings. They refuse to provide
the louvers. The Commission decided on 50% in-scope and 50% out of scope. This
will come up when the final mechanical claim comes to mediation or arbitration.
They agreed on this settlement so they could proceed to finish the work.
Mr. Hawley said the cost report is attached. It shows a remaining contingency
of $455,000, which includes assumptions regarding claim settlements, however
actual contingency determination needs to be based on audit and finalization
of the state reimbursement process
** MR. OPDAHL MOVED TO APPROVE THE ABOVE LISTED CHANGE ORDERS.

Mr. Hawley explained the project was originally established as a $130,000 budget, and they were authorized in increments so they could be monitored and checked. The first increment was $80,000, the second was $30,000, and the final increment will be for $5,000. The total will be $115,000 out of the original $130,000 budget.
