Summary:
Summary
The total amount for Change Order No. 3 is $197,349.40.
An increase of $108,179.00 is necessary for completion of FDOT associated work. The FDOT's estimated quantities for excavation of unsuitable materials was greater than anticipated. This amount will be reimbursed by FDOT.
Additional funds in the amount of $56,366.00 is required to cover the engineer of record’s missed design details, including but not limited to changes to base thickness that were necessary in certain areas and an underdrain for dry pond 5. Staff is working with the engineer of record, Jones Edmunds, to recover costs associated with the missed design elements. No additional time is added due to design errors.
Furthermore, an increase of $32,804.40 is necessary to accommodate Solid Waste and Tax Collector’s requests for additional scope to the project. The Tax Collector requested the contractor work afterhours, so they had use of the student driving course during business hours. Additionally, Solid Waste requested an eye wash station with connection to utility facilities, electrical connections and an additional storage shed that were not included in the original design. An additional 180 calendar days are requested as part of this change order to facilitate the added scope of work changes as well as delays caused by the vendor supplying the added storage shed. The additional 180 days extends the contract to February 7, 2021. The project is substantially complete and has been operational since August 2020.
