CHANGE ORDER SUMMARY: There were two change orders recently approved, and the changes thus far on the project are shown on the change order log (Attachment B). Staff directed contractors to implement the two change orders which are: 1) Increasing the concrete thickness in the maintenance area from four to six inches ($7,029), and 2) Moving the conduit due to the increased depth of concrete in the maintenance area ($1,007). To date, change orders for the project total $272,869, or 12.99% of the contingency budget. The contingency for this project is $2.1 million with a current balance of $1,827,131.
