TECHNICAL ADVISORY GROUP RECOMMENDATION <br />TAG CONTRACTING RECOMMENDATION FORM WP-42F1N IBI CO-02 20160908.DOCX 2 <br />2. Fire Hydrants and Vault 3A Relocation – This change provides a new location for a fire hydrant and <br />sanitary sewer vault 3A in coordination between HMG, City of Fargo, and the Contractor. There is no <br />change to the Contract Price or schedule for this item. <br />3. Temporary Water for Area Businesses – Project plans had not required a provision for temporary <br />water service to businesses in the area of the 4th Ave N and 3rd St N intersection because the Engineer <br />expected an interruption less than the 8-hour limit allowed by City of Fargo specifications. However, <br />when the Contractor began coordinating for the interruption City representatives decided that <br />temporary service was appropriate anyway. HMG reviewed the proposed pricing of $1,980.00 and <br />found it acceptable. There is no change to the schedule for this item. <br />4. Howard Johnson Foundation Removal – This item provides for removal of a portion of the Howard <br />Johnson Hotel foundation wall that was originally part of the demolition under WP-42C.1, but was <br />descoped under that project’s Change Order No. 3. The TAG recommendation form for that Change <br />Order included the following discussion: <br />The Engineer and City of Fargo rep were concerned that removal of portions of foundation wall in <br />the pool area could damage an existing sanitary sewer lines. They directed that these walls remain <br />in place until this line is taken out of service in the near future, at which point the walls can be <br />removed by the 42F.1N contractor (IBI). <br />Landwehr proposed a deduct of $(2,400) for leaving the walls in place. CH2M did a high-level <br />review of this amount and feels it is appropriate considering the equipment and staff were already <br />on site, and it would have been a small part of the much larger demo effort. <br />IBI proposed $4,400 to remove the walls under 42F.1N. Considering that IBI has not planned or <br />mobilized for a demo effort on this site, the added cost of $2,000 appears to be understandable <br />considering they will not have the economy of scale and effort that Landwehr had. <br />The existing sanitary line under the foundation walls is known to be delicate and a break could <br />potentially be costly to the City of Fargo. The added cost of $2,000 for waiting to remove the walls <br />appears to be an appropriate cost for mitigating the risk of damaging the line while it is active. <br />If TAG agrees, then a deduct of $(2400) will be added to this Change Order No. 3 for Landwehr, <br />and $4,400 will be added to a future Change Order for IBI on 42F.1N. <br />CH2M now recommends removal of the foundation wall at $4,400 cost to WP-F.1N because it is <br />consistent with the previously approved plan. <br />5. BNSF Project Delay – Project plans and schedule were based on a 30-day BNSF review period for <br />submittals related to railroad right-of-way items. The actual period was considerably longer when <br />BNSF did not meet its review commitments, and the Contrator subsequently claimed over 40 days of <br />extension. CH2M reviewed the Contractor’s progress schedule and the details of the BNSF review <br />times and concluded there are 34 days of legitimate schedule impact to the Contractor. HMG and the <br />City of Fargo reviewed CH2M’s findings and also concluded that a 34-day extension is appropriate. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />1. Draft Change Order No. 2 <br /> <br />
