Jefferson Blvd. <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />RE: Project No. 118-043R Venues, Parks and Arts Restroom Remodeling Contract Time <br />Extension Due to Design Issues <br />Mr. McGowen, <br />As you are aware, Michiana Contracting has encountered numerous issues throughout this <br />project that have caused delays. Below is a brief summary of these delays. <br />Pinhook Park: Plumbing issues were discovered in March following DA Dodd's arrival at this <br />location. Following an on -site meeting it was determined that additional work was <br />requested which included: <br />• Demolition of the existing cast iron pipe (lead joints ) and carriers <br />• Furnish and install new carriers for the water closets in the new locations. <br />• Furnish excavation as required for the underground connections as required. <br />• Furnish and install new drain and vent piping in chase (WE intend to reuse existing water <br />piping where possible) <br />• Cut concrete floor were needed in chase and repour. <br />Pricing for this additional work was submitted on 4-1-19 and again on 6/7/19. A change order <br />for this work wasn't approved until 7/9/19. As a result, work at this location was delayed by 100 <br />calendar days. <br />Kennedy Park: When DA Dodd arrived on site to check they turned the water on to check the <br />existing system. Upon doing so it was determined that the both the existing water and sewer <br />piping was failing. Following an on -site meeting it was determined that additional work was <br />requested which included: <br />• Disconnect existing chase piping and prepare piping for selective demolition. Run a camera down <br />the existing drainpipe and verify the condition prior to connecting new pipe. <br />• Furnish and install new sanitary piping (PVC) connect to existing as available. <br />• Furnish excavation for new underground sanitary piping connection. <br />MICHIANA CONTRACTING, INC. - PO Box 929 Plymouth, IN 46563 - Tel: 574-936-8613 Fax: 574-936-6201 <br />.nnichiianacontracti g.,&R�wLi <br />
