<br />ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES/ EDIT
<br />Mr. Gilot advised that Mr. Jacob Klosinski, Environmental Services, has submitted Change
<br />Order No. 1 (Final) on behalf of John Boettcher Sewer & Excavating indicating the contract
<br />amount be decreased by $1,421.16 for a modified contract sum, including this Change Order, of
<br />$489,879.80. Additionally submitted was the Project Completion Affidavit indicating this new
<br />final cost of $489,879.80. Mr. Klosinski asked to address the Board. He explained that the
<br />contractor is a very qualified contractor, but due to several issues beyond their control, they
<br />finished the project twenty -five days (25) after schedule and the contract calls for liquidated
<br />damages. Mr. Klosinski explained that they were able to save money when a 24" abandoned
<br />water main was discovered that the contractor could use. He noted this added seven (7) days to
<br />the project, but was a substantial savings. Mr. John Boettcher, Boettcher Sewer & Excavating,
<br />informed the Board that he has had challenges in getting submittals from the suppliers. He noted
<br />the pumps are manufactured in Sweden which added to the delay. Mr. Boettcher stated the first
<br />submittal from their supplier was not correct and had to be re- submitted, which took additional
<br />time due to the supplier having issues getting the paperwork done. Mr. Boettcher stated it took
<br />one - hundred and twenty -five (125) days for the build and delivery to the site, and the project
<br />completion allowed one - hundred and sixty -five (165) days for the entire project. Mr. Klosinski
<br />stated he is requesting that the Board consider an extension of seven (7) days for the project to
<br />cover the re -use of the water main time and the resulting savings. He noted that would take the
<br />contractor to the substantial completion date. He noted the first submittals were due on May 8,
<br />received on May 30 and rejected for missing information, and subsequently not received until the
<br />end of July. Mr. Klosinski stated the liquidated damages need to be reviewed. Attorney Greene
<br />stated the entire contract and scoping should be reviewed before approval. Mr. Gilot added he is
<br />hesitant to impose liquidated damages when the contractor shows good faith effort. Upon a
<br />motion made by Mr.' Gilot, seconded by Mr. Henthorn and carried, Change Order No. I (Final)
<br />and the Project Completion Affidavit were tabled until the next Board of Works meeting for
<br />further review. The Board authorized the release of payments for work completed, but retainage
<br />held until further review.
