Summary:
Change Order No. 2 (final) reduces the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved expenditure by ($25,654.44) and accepts the contract as complete. The reduction in expenditure is due to the difference between estimated and final quantities, and balance of unspecified work not utilized. Substantial completion for this project was achieved on June 29, 2018; final completion was accepted on September 26, 2018. The protracted time between expected and actual final completion was necessary in order to complete the walk thru inspection with project stakeholders, punch list items, final testing, project acceptance, receipt and approval of certified “as builts” which included final approval of the Engineer of Record (EOR). As part of this change order, the Agreement term is increased by three hundred seventy seven (377) calendar days.
