Hammersley, County Manager <br /> Through: Craig Benedict, Planning Director <br /> From: Kevin Lindley, PE, Staff Engineer pp FiA�' <br /> Date: July 28, 2014 <br /> RE: Buckhorn Mebane Phase 2 Utility Project Change Order#5 <br /> This change order is to correct the original contract price to match the original project scope. <br /> When the project contract was signed,the contract price was determined by a schedule of pay <br /> items and projected quantities. This pay schedule should have included quantities and line items <br /> necessary to complete a short section(approximately 700 linear feet) of 8" sewer line, designated <br /> on the plans as line S-2. These items were inadvertently left off the schedule of pay items and <br /> quantities, even though the written description of the project on the contract and the project plans <br /> issued for construction included line S-2. This change order also includes the installation of a <br /> service connection for Mr. Don Collins on property with PIN 9834569034. Mr. Collins paid for <br /> this service connection in advance as part of his easement agreement with the County, but the <br /> service connection line item was not part of the bid documents, because the agreement with Mr. <br /> Collins was not finalized until after bids were received. This is the only service connection to be <br /> installed as part of this construction project. <br /> The cost of this construction work will be covered in project budget due to significant savings <br /> realized by modifying the method of boring under several streams along the project route. The <br /> contract was bid under the assumption that the streams would have to be directionally bored, but <br /> field conditions were such that a much less costly bore and jack method could be used. <br /> The cost of this change order has been summarized below, along with the summary for the first <br /> four change orders. Going forward, new change orders can be added to this summary so that all <br /> the change order information will be available in one document for easy review. <br />
