Repair any damage to walls, floors and ceilings, Item No. 2: Replace waste lines to lavatory in the'bathroom. Replace P -trap, install continuous vent or Quik= vent to meet the code requirements. Repair any damage to walls, floors, and ceilings. Item No. 3: Install all waste and vent piping according to the South Bend plumbing code, 'connect all joints in a workmanlike manner. Mr. Brownell said this damage was not visible until they got into the rehabilitation work, so we have an extra to the con- tract of $887.00. Mr. Keitt; Crighton, Director of the Bureau of Housing, E -7 Program, said this is indicative of the type of things we,run into with the rehabilitation programs. Many of the items are not visible on inspection and we just have to kind of gamble on it until we actually get into the work. Mrs. Janet S. Allen said, "My question is, as the Council has to approve anything over $5,000 and when you change a contract from $4,490 to $5,377 does it not have to go back to the Council for approval ?" Mr. Brownell said he does not think that it does. Mr. Crighton said it does not. If it is in the original contract it is. If we receive the original bid in excess of $5 ;000.00,: then we have to go before the Council for approval; if the ori- ginal contract is less, we do not go before the Council. As far as a change order exceeding the $5,000 amount, we do not need to go before the Council. The Chair asked our Legal Counsel if he concurs with that? Mr. Kevin J. Butler: said to Mr. Crighton that we should check into this. The Commission here can approve it, and if it has to go to the Council, we will take it to the Council. Commissioner Wiggins said he concurs and feels this is a good question and it should be checked. Motion was made by Mr. Wiggins for the approval of Change Order No. 1 to Rehabilitation Contract No. 10, for an increase in contract amount of $887.00, with Ted Combs Decorating & Construc- tion Company, for an amended contract total of: $5,377.40, and no time change, and this be subject to Legal Counsel approval and also Legal Counsel to check if it also requires City Council approval. Motion seconded by Mr. Chenney and carried. f. Change Order No. 1 to Rehabilitation Contract No. 32, E -7: Commission approval was requested of Change,Order No. 1 to the Rehabilitation Contract No. 32, for an increase in con- tract amount of $160.50 with Newton Contractors, for work at 713 East K -asey Street, Project E -7, Bureau of Housing, for an amended contract total of: $3,925. 50, and no time change.
