Body
INFORMATION: City Council, in its meeting of November, 8, 2011, adopted Resolution R-1112-55 delegating administrative authority to the City Manager or his designee, at his discretion, to approve change order requests that result in adjustments up to forty thousand dollars ($40,000) or 10% of any contract, whichever is less. The resolution also required that the administrative approvals of change orders be reported to the City Council with the City Manager’s Weekly Report at the next regularly scheduled Council meeting and then filed with the original contract in the permanent records of the City Clerk.
Contract K-1617-83 with Flintco, L.L.C., for the Central Library Project in the amount of $25,858,000 was approved by City Council on April 19, 2017. Change Order No. One in the amount of $36,033 was approved by the City Manager on August 29, 2017. The Change Order provided additional pier depth drilling, concrete, reinforcing and labor and added three (3) calendar days to extend the contract date to June 15, 2019.
Change Order No. Two in the amount of $33,245 was approved by the City Manager on October 9, 2017. This change order is needed for changes to electrical, fire suppression, steel and geothermal wellfield pump locations due to the relocation of the City’s new fiber optic line feed into the east side of the building, adjustment of geothermal well depths and layout, and relocation of the backflow preventer. Seven weather delay days are also being requested by the contractor due to wet weather conditions at the site. Costs and addition of weather days have been reviewed and recommended for approval by MSR (project architect) and ADG (NORMAN FORWARD program manager). The total contract amount has increased to $25,962,799 or 0.002%.
