REGULAR MEETING
<br />v365
<br />NOVEMBER 14, 2005
<br />were removed late last year, it was discovered that the mortar had deteriorated badly.
<br />The option chosen was the less expensive of the two means to correct the problem. It
<br />was felt that it made no sense to have to cover the problem back up, and then bid another
<br />contract to tear out and repair. By such a procedure there would have been more work
<br />for the contractor and more expenses for the taxpayer. The means chosen was clearly
<br />the most economical for South Bend. Because of the policy of annual inspections in the
<br />Sewer Department and the fact that those inspections had not revealed any deficiencies in
<br />the mortar, the need for this particular change order was unforeseeable. Given that it is
<br />directly in the same street that the work was being done, this change order is related to
<br />the scope of the original project. Mr. Bodnar stated that the $45,159.00 expense
<br />connected with Change Order No. 2 need to be included in computing the 20%
<br />maximum. Without this change order, the total change orders equal $218,855.94 or
<br />slightly less than 18.80%, less than the statutory maximum. Additionally submitted was
<br />the Project Completion Affidavit indicating this new final cost. Upon a motion made by
<br />Mr. Gilot, seconded by Mr. Inks, and carried, the Final Change Order and the Project
<br />Completion Affidavit were approved subject to the filing of the appropriate three-year
<br />Maintenance Bond.
