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 and omissions and owner directed extra work.
Item COP-1A, 1B, 1F ($35,386.00) are unforeseen conditions including additional steel lintel repair and waterproofing and the provision of brick pier supports for Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete installation.
Item COP-1D ($15,000.00) is contested with the designers. It is the department’s determination that this is attributable to design errors and omissions. The original design failed to account for the treatment of decorative terra cotta panels and medallions which required stabilization and restoration including saw-cutting, removal, re-installation, pinning & coating.
Items COP-1E and 1G ($55,500.00) are owner directed additional work including waterproofing membrane behind new decorative façade panels, repointing of an additional chimney and repointing and coating of the terra cotta panel band to better match the other terra cotta finishes.
The total value of all extra work is in the amount of $105,886.00 less $30,000.00 of the contract contingency for a balance change order of 75,886.00 is required. Funding for this increase is obtained from remaining DASNY balance in project budget.
