Summary:
Change Order No. 1 (final) decreases the Board approved expenditure by ($55,444.60), accepts the contract as complete and authorizes final payment. Substantial completion was achieved on November 16, 2018; final completion was accepted on September 24, 2019. Liquidated damages do not apply as the County received substantial and beneficial use on November 16, 2018, within the original contract duration.
The delay in submittal of this change order from final completion date was due to waiting for resolution of a drainage issue where a mitered end section was proposed to be constructed. This never occurred due to the cost to tight sheet, de-water/de-muck and backfill the location was deemed cost prohibitive (approximately $150,000.00 for the sheeting alone). No delay claim was filed by the contractor. The remainder of the delay was due to resolving issues related to close-out of grant items with Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) including certified time sheets for the contractor’s sub-consultants.
