2 <br /> Amendment#1 (6/2012) — Easement Plats & Coordination $ 30,500 <br /> Amendment#2.1 (9/6/2012) — Bid documents and coordination $ 16,000 <br /> Amendment#2.2 (9/6/2012) — Efland flow to Mebane design $151,600 <br /> Amendment#3 (Pending) — Construction inspection and admin. $193,000 <br /> The difference between the original cost proposal for Contract Amendment #3 and the revised <br /> cost proposal is a reduced engineering inspection presence from HUA. The contract <br /> administration elements of the project are largely unchanged. Staff believes that the nature of <br /> the project and the availability of both County staff and City of Mebane staff to provide <br /> construction oversight warranted the reduction in oversight by HUA. <br /> At this time it is anticipated that all phases of the project listed in the cost proposal will be <br /> constructed as part of the same project, which would make the amendment cost for these <br /> services $193,000 as shown on Attachment 2b. The project is currently out for bid. Once the <br /> actual construction costs for the project are known, the total scope of the project may have to <br /> change depending on the low bid's comparison with the project construction budget. If the <br /> project scope changes significantly, the proposed cost for construction oversight may need to <br /> be renegotiated at that point. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of Contract Amendment #3 will add $193,000, or less than 4% <br /> of the project construction estimate, to the existing contract. As noted above, this amount could <br /> change depending on the construction bids the County receives for this project. Funds are <br /> allocated within the 2012-2013 Capital Investment Plan (CIP) and funded through one-quarter <br /> cent (1/40) sales tax revenue. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: <br /> 1. Approve Contract Amendment#3; <br /> 2. Authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of Orange County; and <br /> 3. Authorize the Manager to negotiate and sign any changes to the cost of this <br /> amendment that may arise once the actual construction cost and scope are known. <br />
