Rationale:
A change order is a written agreement between the District and its contractor to change a building construction contract. They add to, delete from, or otherwise alter the work and/or progress schedule in the contract bid documents. CO’s are caused by any of three situations that can arise on a project: unforeseen conditions, design errors, omissions, and owner directed extra work.

The total cost of this change order is $283,006.94 minus $40,000 in allowance for a CO amount of $243,006.94. This will closeout this contract work. All 6 other contracts for this project are also completed.

Additional costs include:
• Project delays forcing the contractor to work off-hours on premium time: $127,227.63.
• Increased abatement work omitted from the contract documents: $64,114.63
• Modifications of ceilings to accommodate window shades $33,680.00
• Upgrades to window hardware: $18,303.17
• Modifications to brackets for window air-conditioning units: $17,365.20
• Miscellaneous added work: $22,316.37
