Summary:
Change Order No. 1 (final) reduces the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved expenditure by ($231,300.53) 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 May 10, 2018; final completion was accepted on October 1, 2018. The protracted time between expected and actual final completion was due to third party utility conflicts, delay associated with contamination cleanup work on private property (responsible party for cleanup was the private property owner) and unforeseen work to complete the project. As part of this change order, the Agreement term is increased by 202 calendar days.
