Summary:
The purpose of Change Order No. 1 is to convert contracted allowances and owners contingency to unspecified work to allow the County flexibility on specifications, selection, and pricing of these items. In addition, to reduce operational impacts at the Airport, it is necessary to re-phase project sequencing and add new pay items and quantity adjustments due to unforeseen field conditions. The County and Pepper have mutually agreed to a lump sum maintenance of traffic price of $319,300.00 and a reduction of retainage.
One hundred and forty nine (149) calendar days will also be added to the duration of the Project for Pepper to reach final completion.
