APPROVE FINAL CHANGE ORDER - WESTERN/WAYNE STREET IMPROVEMENTS -
BROOKS CONSTRUCTION, INC. -PROJECT NO. 101-002
Mr. Gilot advised that Mr. Darrell Baker, Project Engineer has submitted the Final Change Order
indicating that the contract amount be increased by $190,437.83 for a new contract sum including
this Change Order in the amount of $2,129,101.32. Mr. Baker stated that this Change Order consists
of a new Line item 184 and an overall increase in the original line item proposal. Line Item 184
consists of a "Parking Bump Out" for Ehningers Florist. The original plans did not show new
parking spaces being installed in front of the business ($32,429.41). All other items were completed
substantially as planned with the exception of the following items which had a major increase due
to unforeseen roadway condition. Full depth reconstruction of Wayne Street was needed after the
milling operation began exposing existing street pavers. This resulted in an increase on asphalt line
items No. 23 ($70,378.50) and No. 26 ($56,363.50). The line item No. 17 for borrow increased
when the original sub -grade material was unsuitable and required new borrow material to be hauled
in along the roadway widening of Jefferson Wayne Street ($40,448.40). The overall 29.46% increase
consists of various add-ons that were not a part of the original contract.
The Change Order exceeded 20% of the original contract price as a result of two unforeseensite
conditions (the underground vault and borrow problem. Without these two changes, the change
orders would be well under the 20%. The cost to cure the impacts were not included in the plans and
1

specifications, but were related to the original project. The Change Order was discretionary due to
the Century ter parking lot (Change Order No. 3) increase as a result of resealing and restriping.
The work has been completed and the contractor had meritorious claims, which is a reasonable
number. The costs incurred to remove unusable borrow and bricks increased the Change Order.
Therefore, upon a motion made by Mr. Gilot, seconded by Mr. Littrell and carried, the Final Change
Order was approved.
