NqW BUSINESS (Cont'd 2) C.0.41 to Contract #16, with Ted Combs Decorating and C.O. #1 Construction, for an increase in contract amount of $290.00 TO CONTRACT [Contract: $6,668.391, for an amended contract total of: 16, E -7 $6,958.39, for rehabilitation work at: 1121 South Carroll Street. The contract time is unchanged. Mr. James L. Johnson, Jr., in his written memorandum sub - stantiating this change order, advised the specifications called for the installation of new fixtures on the bath- room tub. Since the time of the initial inspection on August 26, 1974, the tub has begun to leak. Asked whether the replacement tub was cast iron or steel, Mr. Crighton advised he believed it would be a steel tub and porcelain, as a cast iron would be much more expensive. Commissioner Chenney said in those old homes the original tubs are all cast iron as it is the only type made in those days. In those days, there certainly weren't any porcelain tubs, and that a cast iron tub can only be broken by a sledge hammer, as he raised the question he would like to know how or where the tub sprung a leak. Mr. Crighton said the plumber did not specify. Motion was made by Mr. Wiggins, seconded by Mr. Donaldson and carried, for the approval of the above change order, as noted. 3) C.O. #1 to Contract #36, with Ted Combs Decorating and Con- C.O. #1 struction, with no change in contract amount of: $4,869.60, TO CONTRACT but changes in the rehabilitation items that the homeowner 36, E -7 will do herself and substitute other repair items to her home to qualify for the HAO Program. The rehabilitation work is at: 622 East Pennsylvania Street. Mr. James L. Johnson, Jr., in his written memorandum sub- stantiating this change order, advised the homeowner re- quested the change as the homeowner is unable to repair or replace them herself and the changes are needed to qualify her for the HAO Program, whereas the deleted items are ones that she will be able to care for under regular home mainte- nance. There will be no change in the price of the contract or the contract time, and the recommendation is that the changes be made. The deletions are for painting the basement door,.kitchen window, kitchen cabinet, bathroom ceiling and door, bedroom door, and the sanding, sealing and staining of the living room floor, at a total cost of: $218.00. Mr. Crighton advised the homeowner has applied to HAO for monthly subsidy, and there were some items that had to be repaired to bring the home up to code to have her qualify. On many of the homes, Mr. Crighton advised, they do not attempt to take care of 100% of the code violations. There - 10 -
