<br />d Change Order No. 1 to Rehabilitation Contract No. 6, E -7:
<br />Commission approval was requested for Change Order No. l
<br />to Rehabilitation Contract No. 6, with Barany Sheet Metal &
<br />Heating Company, for an increase in contract amount of

<br />total of: $6,850.00, for rehabilitation work-at: 310 -312
<br />East Paris Street, Southeast Project E -7.
<br />Mr. James L. Johnson, Jr., Chief Inspector, Southeast
<br />Bureau of Housing, in his written memorandum substantiating
<br />the change order, states since the time of the initial inspec-
<br />tion, the furnace has gone out completely, which presents a
<br />serious health and safety problem which should be corrected.
<br />The Change Order shows the charges for the installation of a
<br />new Low Boy Model w /160M BTU Furnace, and the hookup to
<br />existing ducts, the installation of five (5) hot air ducts,
<br />one (1) central cold air return, and replacement of thermostat,
<br />for an amount of $1,350.00 increase to contract amount.
<br />Mr. Kenneth Schaller, Project Director, Southeast Project,
<br />advised that since the time of the original inspection the
<br />furnace has gone out completely. The homeowner is 77 years
<br />old and her only income at present is her social security.
<br />Motion was made by Mr. Wiggins, seconded by Mr. Donaldson
<br />and carried, for the approval of Change Order No. 1 to Rehabi-
<br />litation Contract No. 6, with Barany Sheet Metal & Heating
<br />Company, for an increase in contract amount of $1,350.00,
<br />or total amended contract of: $6,850.00.
<br />The Chair asked if this change order has to go to the City
<br />Council for approval, and Mr. Schaller advised that it does
<br />not; the City Council has approved the original contract
<br />that was in amount of $5,500.00.
<br />Mr. Ed Soltesz, Local No. 9, U.A.W. Representative, as an
<br />interested citizen raised the following questions: "If I
<br />may, on that furnace for 310 -312 Paris Street, am I to under-
<br />stand the person living there, that the only income she has
<br />is from Social Security? Let me ask this question: Why
<br />would we be putting in a 160,000 BTU furnace? That's big
<br />enough to almost heat a hotel really. A comparable answer
<br />is all I need." Mr. Schaller advised that this is for the
<br />heating system. The house has been split in half, and it is
<br />now a two -unit house. 310 -312 is a duplex. The homeowner
<br />lives in one -half of the house, and the other half is a rental
<br />unit that is now vacant.
