RESOLUTION APPROVING CHANGE ORDER NO. 12
FOR INTERMODAL FACILITY CONSTRUCTION
FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS, during the earth work portion of the construction of the Intermodal Facility,
poor soil conditions were found in several areas of the site; and,
WHEREAS,of particular concern was the soil condition near the large retaining wall holding
back College Creek; and,
WHEREAS after discussions with the engineers and architects on the project, it was
determined that the area would need over-excavation or removal of the poor soil and replacement
with satisfactory clean soil; and,
WHEREAS, that work would result in a change of scope and require a Change Order to
Arthur, Inc., which is Weitz's subcontractor, completing the work; and,
WHEREAS, originally, the two cost estimates were significantly different, and the
reconciliation process to arrive at an agreed-upon cost took considerable time to complete, and a
Change Order was generated the week of October 24, 2011; and,
WHEREAS, the Ames Transit Agency Board of Trustees will consider approval of this
contract change at its meeting of November 3, 2011.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
that Change Order No. 12 to Weitz Corporation of Des Moines, Iowa, in an amount not-to-exceed
$52,103 for over-excavation of poor soils on the Intermodal Facility project, subject to approval by
the Transit Board of Trustees on November 3, 2011, is hereby approved.
