<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />PCO#5: North Building Steel Plate Frame for Door <br />During the removal of an older steel double-leaf door for the Storage Room Addition at the <br />Compressor Building, the brick was uncovered to be hollow beyond the door jamb. As a result, the <br />jamb fasteners for the new door did not have a solid block for the jamb fasteners to anchor the door <br />jamb frame. The project engineer and architect determined that a fabricated steel jamb plate would <br />be the least expensive alternative to provide a solid connection point for the door jamb frame. <br /> <br />The result of the combined change orders exceeded the 20% change order threshold by $4,050.00. <br />Engineering determined that this overage was a reasonable amount given the scope of work <br />required to secure the building envelope and address unforeseen conditions. <br /> <br />Had Engineering opted to re-bid or re-quote this work, the additional staff hours, design contract <br />fees, time lost, and construction cost to re-mobilize a contractor on-site to complete the work would <br />have exceeded the additional costs required to complete the change order work under this contract. <br /> <br />Funding for this project was provided through Sewage Works Capital – Wastewater Capital, <br />Account 642-06-605-514-442005.
