In <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />JAIL CHANGE ORDER <br /> <br />---------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> <br />In August 2006, I became aware of a construction problem connecting the new jail <br />addition to the existing building. A steel lintel had been overlooked in the plan and a <br />"hold open" for conduit had not been designated by the architects in the original <br />building, requiring additional work on the second phase of the project. Byemail (see <br />attached document), I sent an inquiry to Foss Architecture about the proposed <br />change order and why this connection point had not been anticipated in the original <br />design. <br /> <br />The Foss construction manager responded by saying there was "miscommunication <br />between Kathy (the mechanical engineer) and Rochelle (from Foss Architecture)." <br /> <br />Anticipating a change order, I asked Rick Hoganson of Foss to meet with Birch <br />Burdick and me about this issue. No consensus was reached between the county <br />and Foss Architecture. <br /> <br />The change order, dated September 26, 2006, for a total cost of $7,585.00 was <br />received in my office earlier this month and because the costs exceed $5,000, I have <br />scheduled the item on the Board's agenda for discussion. <br /> <br />I have asked Rick Hoganson to be present at the commission meeting to discuss <br />this item. <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION: <br />Move to approve the change order in the amount of $7,585.00 as presented by Foss <br />Architecture. <br /> <br />OR <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION: <br />Move to approve the change order in the amount of $7,585.00 as presented by Foss <br />Architecture, with the stipulation that their contractual fee of 5.5% would not be <br />charged on this change order. <br /> <br />OR <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION: <br />Move to not approve the change order payment of $7,585.00 because Cass <br />County Government is not responsible for the errors and omissions of the <br />Ih, 2Sl)(1 architect. <br /> <br />211 Ninth Stn.'\'t ;-'\luth <br />Farl!o, '\Jorth PaLlta 'iKl,\'i <br />~ cnc <br /> <br />1,1! .241.'i7 2,) K:\BJ\JAIL ADDN 12-7-06 MEMO.doc <br />rax: 7l'J .':'J7 -(lC":C <br />
