AGENDA ATTACHMENT I <br /> CHANGE ORDERS ON THE NORTHSIDE PROJECT <br /> From time to time it will probably be necessary to consider minor <br /> change orders on this project that will arise mainly because the building <br /> actually standing was not constructed exactly as the plans vie have indicate. <br /> The two change orders we have today arise mainly for this reason. <br /> In any renovation project difficulties in coordinating the various <br /> contractors contributes significantly towards what seems to be a long <br /> construction time. This long construction period can be prolonged even <br /> further if we don' t work out some mechanism to resolve minor crises as <br /> they arise. At present all change orders must be approved by the Board <br /> of Commissioners. Under some circumstances the need for a change may become <br /> apparent and a meeting of the Board could be as much as two weeks away. It <br /> is conceivable this condition might shut a particular contractor down for <br /> as much as two weeks , thus adding unnecessarily to the total construction <br /> time. <br /> I recommend either the Chairman or Manager be authorized to approve <br /> change orders of less than $500.00 without prior Board approval with the <br /> stipulation that a report of each change order issued be rude at the next <br /> Board meeting. <br /> AGENDA ATTACHMENT II <br /> CHANGE ORDERS II AND IN NORTHSIDE PROJECT <br /> CHANGE ORDER II : <br /> This change order revolves around restroom facilities for the handicapped. <br /> The existing building plans indicated an eight inch petition wall between two <br /> restrooms. This wall would have been substantial enough to support the grab <br /> bars required in a restroom facility designed for the hand i capped. The actual <br /> �r 1� wall standing was not that substantial . This change order reflects the sum <br /> necessary to remove the existing wall and replace it with a stud wall capable <br /> of supporting the necessary bars. This change order also reflects changing <br /> the commodes from wall mounted units to floor mounted units. <br /> CHANGE ORDER III . <br /> Details on this change order are not available at the time of this writing, <br /> however Mr. Webb will have a report at the meeting. <br />
