the Olive/Locust Road Sewer and Street Improvements, which is a total change of 24.69%. Lawson
Fisher failed to do borings to determine the status of the soil beneath the road. The contractor
discovered the soil was unsuitable for backfill and had to purchase 5,741.1 cubic feet of backfill dirt
instead of 200 cubic feet the contract specifications required. Additional compacted aggregate base
was necessary because the existing subgrade was unsuitable. Because Lawson Fisher failed to test
the soil prior to construction, the City did not know the soil was unsuitable and did not consider this
when drawing the contract specifications. These circumstances were unforseen and do not increase
the scope of the project.
