APPROVE CHANGE ORDER - REMOVAL OF UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS -
PUBLIC WORKS SERVICE CENTER - WARNER AND SONS - PROJECT NO 101-050
Mr. Gilot advised that Mr. Carl Littrell, City Engineer, has submitted Change Order No. 1 on behalf
of Warner and Sons, Post Office Box 87, Elkhart, Indiana, indicating that the Contract amount be
increased $13,369.49 for a new Contract sum including this Change Order in the amount of
$28,834.49. Mr. Littrell noted that the original contract work was for a large underground fuel oil
storage tank uncovered by the contractor on the Public Works Service Center site. The consultant
originally estimated the size of this tank at 6,000 gallons, but upon excavation by Warner and Sons,
it was discovered to be twice as large. Warner and Sons has submitted an additional cost of
$8,014.00 for removal of this tank. Before Warner and Sons began work on the removal of the tank,
the excavator encountered two more 4,000 gallon tanks. Warner and Sons submitted a cost of
$5,355.49 for the removal of these two additional tanks. This adjustment is necessary for the removal
of two additional 4,000 gallon tanks and one 12,000 gallon tank. The additional cost for these
removals is fair and reasonable. The presence of these tanks was not reasonably foreseeable.
Therefore, according to the Deputy City Attorney, the cost associated with their removal are not
