Body
Dear Sir:
Authorization is requested to issue a Change Order in an amount of $10,782.13 with IHC/KED, a Joint Venture, for work associated with the installation of a New Safety Shower in Room LC-116 of the R&D Building, at the John E. Egan WRP.
The contractor was requested by the District to install a new safety shower in the Sample Preparation Laboratory, room LC-116 of the R&D Building at the John E. Egan WRP, via File Letter 260. The R&D Department determined that the new safety shower is necessary to provide adequate emergency protection to those working in that area of the laboratory.
The contractor submitted a cost proposal (COR-024) in the amount of $11,951.50. The Engineer reviewed the proposal and offered a counterproposal in the amount of $10,782.13 via File Letter 375, which the contractor accepted and the Engineering Department recommends its approval. This change is in the best interest of the District and authorized by the law.
The contract was awarded on October 19, 2006, for $6,738,400.00. As of April 18, 2008, the approved value of gross increases and decreases equals a net total increase of $489,343.14 (7.26% of the award value); and the resulting change, including this item, equals a net total increase of $500,125.27 (7.42% of the award value).
In view of the above, it is recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize this Change Order for an extra in an amount of $10,782.13.
