CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />DIVISION OF ENG11NEERING <br />TO: Clara McDaniels, Assistant City Attorney <br />FROM: Tara Weigand, Project Engineer /'I <br />SUBJECT: Change Order for Project 11 7-070A MPAC Marquee Display Installation, <br />DATE: March 16, 2018 <br />Due to unforeseen circumstances, a substantial change order is required for the <br />completion, of this project. Upon removing the existing LED display panels and the <br />waterproofing membrane on the Morris Performing Arts Center marquee, it was <br />discovered that the ventilation requirements for the new panels would not Ibe met <br />without additional modifications to the marquee. These conditions were not known <br />beforehand and significantly change the scope of the project. Initially, the project was <br />intended to be limited to the removal of the existing display panels and the in -kind <br />installation of new display panels. The work now includes modifications to the marquee <br />structure as well, requiring the installation of two roof vents. The City was not able to <br />obtain information from the original designer of the marquee and, as such, a structural <br />engineer will need to be subcontracted to evaluate the existing structure and approve <br />the proposed modifications. <br />The Morris Performing Arts Center will be showing the Phantom of the Opera beginning <br />March 28, 2018., It is critical that this work be completed prior to this date. <br />The required modifications will cost an additional $ 15,600.00, an increase of 82% over <br />the awarded contract amount of $ 19,000.00 for this project. <br />We deliver services that empower everyone to thrive!
