COMMISS ONERS' REGULAR MEETING Page 4 Friday, November 19, 1976 5. OLD BUSINESS a. Change Order No. 5 and Pay Estimate No. 10, Contract No. 1, Plaza IND R -66 Park, with Nautilus Construction Co., Project Indiana R -66: PLAZA PARK CONTRACT NO. C. Wayne Brownell stated that this is a final change order for CHANGE ORDER total adjusted contract price of $207,665.23. The original #5 contract bid price was $209,206.00 - thus we show a couple thousand dollars under the original contract price. Mr. Robinson indicated he did not understand how this change order could represent an increase in contract price if the final contract amount is under the original bid. Mr. Brownell stated that this is the fifth (5th) change order and each of the change orders represented an increase or decrease in the contract price. One change order was for a reduction in the contract of $10,000, thus the final amount represents an over- all reduction in price. Mr. Brownell further stated that the final change order was rejected as previously rendered and stated that he told Nautilus he wanted no part of this until it was clearly agreed upon and approved by the engineers. Mr. Donaldson asked what the weather shield credit represented. Mr. Brownell said he wasn't able to answer but presumed it might be for money set aside to protect the work and it wasn't needed because of the weather. Mr. Rninson asked if the contractor has to guarantee his work for approximately a year like any normal contract. Mr. Brownell replied that he thought the contractor must guarantee the exposed aggregate for three years. Mr. Butler asked if the landscape work was all completed and Mr. Brownell indicated that this has not been finalled out. Mr. Robinson asked if there would be any money held in escrow until after the year guarantee is up and Mr. Brownell stated he did not think there was any money in escrow. Mr. Butler indicated that there is a bond that is supposed to take effect for a three year period, to take effect upon completion of the work. Mr. Brownell stated that there is still a conflict between Nautilus and a lumber company and we are holding that portion of the payment until the problem is resolved and we know how much each one gets. This is between their attorneys. The total amount has been deter- mined but the apportionment between the two has not. This lumber company was a supplier of Nautilus. Gene Evans asked if the approximately 54 items on the four tabulated pages come up to a total of $6,000 increase. Mr. Brownell explained that these items represent final measurements, these are the items which cover "so many feet of this" and "so many yards of that ", the actual amount used compared to the projected amount in the
