INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS DIVISION OF ENGINEERING TO: Linda M. Martin, Clerk Board of Public Works FROM: Richard Estes, Engineer I SUBJECT: The JMS Building New North Stair Tower Time Extension Project No. 116-098 DATE: December 13, 2016 Here is an explanation for the Change Order being submitted. The reason(s) for the Change Order request is as follows: After the bid had been awarded, the steel fabricator informed HGR Group that the materials that were supposed to be ready for them to use on December 61h have been delayed to being completed on December 13th. The contractor is also claiming that due to the time between opening and awarding the contract as well as the time taken to set up the pre -construction conference they have lost 8 working days. HGR Group Inc. is requesting a total time extension of 14 calendar days be added to the contract due to delays caused by the aforementioned delays. A copy of the HGR Group letter requesting additional time is attached. The initially defined intermediate completion date was set at December 23, 2016. This extension would set the intermediate completion date at January 6, 2017. The reasoning behind the initially defined intermediate completion date was to ensure that the occupancy permit was obtained for the site owner. Since the award of this bid, the site owner has explained that the occupancy permit deadline can be extended to accommodate the proposed schedule by the contractor. Their written approval of the extension can be found attached to this change order. Please call me with your questions (5896).
