Rationale:
|
A change order is a written agreement between the District and its contractor to change a building construction contract. They add to, delete from, or otherwise alter the work and/or progress schedule in the contract bid documents. CO’s are caused by any of three situations that can arise on a project: unforeseen conditions, design errors and omissions and owner directed extra work. This resolution authorizes the subject change order for work that was never performed by the Dimitri. This amount is independent and unrelated to the settlement documented by Resolution Board Item No. 10.3 at the stated meeting on July 19, 2017 which approved the settlement in the amount of $80,000.00 plus Dimitri’s forfeiture of $63,103.30 in retainage. This is a close out credit change order of $332,973.10 releasing unspent funds for use in other capital projects.
