Summary:
Change Order No. 2 (final) increases the Board approved expenditure by $3,567.48 and accepts the contract as complete. The increase in expenditure is due to the difference between estimated and final quantities. Substantial completion for this project was achieved on October 23, 2018; final completion was accepted on January 4, 2019. The protracted time between expected and actual final completion was necessary in order to accommodate the CSX Railroad re-design, permitting of deep directional boring, utility locates, and changes to the subaqueous bore. Additionally, unforeseen underground soil conditions affected pole installations requiring additional geotechnical work, redesign, new material acquisition, and installation. Finally, testing of the system within the Park Boulevard corridor, completion of punch list items and walk-thru inspection with project stakeholders, project acceptance, and receipt and approval of certified “as-builts” which included final approval from the Engineer of Record, all of which contributed to the extended construction duration. As part of this change order, the agreement term is increased by three hundred eighty-one (381) calendar days.
