Rationale: This is for Change Order 1 to Contract 2018-0796 for general construction work on CIP10656 “Reconstruction of Portions of the Building Envelope” at Gorton High School to BONDEX Insurance Company for $79,697.31. Increasing the contract amount from $1,934,186.00 to $2,013,883.31 and extending the term to 545 calendar days for paperwork purposes.

Bondex Insurance took over the above contract from the original GC, Dobtol Construction, as a result of being defaulted by the District vie RES 10.80 dated Feb 27, 2019. The total amount of the funds transferred to BONDEX was $473,709.11, which includes CO1, retainage and remaining unpaid project funds.

All of the work under CO1 was completed by Dobtol but not paid due to the default. These outstanding, agreed to amounts are to be paid to Bondex per the Agreement signed by the District and BONDEX on June 14, 2019,

Change Order CO1 includes all outstanding payments wherein the Change Order amount of $79,697.31 was included in the takeover agreement.

CO1 was principally for owner directed extra work and unforeseen conditions. It includes added painting, a new roof ladder, roof pad, replacement of damaged (not visible) CMU, ceiling structures, unanticipated floor leveling and new floor access door. The total value of owner directed work or unforeseen issues is in the amount of $169,697.31 less the $90,000.00 contingency funding for a total of $79,697.31. This will close out this project.
