' change Order City of Elgin - ELGIN, ILLINOIS PROJECT 16-054 Carbon Dioxide and Chlorine Facilities Upgrade CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 CONTRACT: The proposed Work is generally described follows: Removing and replacing the existing Carbon Dioxide tank, appurtenances, and piping at the Airlite Water Treatment Plant located at 74 N. Airlite St, Elgin, IL 60123. There were also three bid alternatives selected: 1) Furnishing and installing a chlorine evaporator, chlorine piping and appurtenances at the Airlite Water Treatment plant, 2) Perform- ing chlorine system piping and appurtenances alterations at the Leo Nelson Riverside Water Treatment Plant located at 375 W. River Road, Elgin IL 60123. 3)Removing and replacing the carbon dioxide feeders at the Airlite Water Treatment Plant located at 74 N. Airlite St, Elgin, IL 60123 (Bid No. 16- 0554) SCOPE: The Change Order accounts for the Contractor not using two allowances in the contract, and for costs incurred by the City due to the Contractor missing two substantial completion dates. The allow- ances were items included in the contract in the event that unsuitable foundation materials were encoun- tered, or fill disposal was required. In the event that either of these items were encountered during con- struction,the allowances would have allowed payment on a unit price basis. However, neither issue was found during construction, so payment was not made on either allowance. The Contractor did not meet the amended substantial completion date of June 9th for the Lump Sum Base Bid, Bid Alternative No. 2 and Bid Alternative No. 3 due to delays in receiving correctly ordered per specs but improperly shipped and faulty equipment as well as subcontractor and supplier submittal delays. The Lump Sum Base Bid and Bid Alternative No. 3 were substantially complete on June 15, 2017 (6 calendar days behind sched- ule). This delay led to the City to incur costs in terms of increased electricity use to provide water, and labor burdens imposed by the delay and faulty equipment. Per the Contract, missing the Substantial Completion Date by six calendar days results in $9,000.00 in costs. The Contractor has also not completed Bid Alternative No. 2 due to subcontractor submittal delays which due to overall project scheduling and water demand conditions at the Riverside Water Treatment Plant necessitated the work involved to be delayed. City Staff do not believe that applying damages to the Contractor for its failure to meet the Substantial Completion deadline for this item is desirable. Bid Alternative No. 2 will require the Riverside Water Treatment Plant (WTP) to shut down for up to 8 hours, and was originally intended to occur in March. City staff believe it is in the City's interest to de- lay this work until October to allow water demands to lessen, therefore, staff does not intend to pursue damages for this delay. The Project schedule is extended to November 15, 2017 to allow for this work to occur. REASONS FOR CHANGE: The Change Order proposes to amend the contract as to cost and to pro- ject schedule. The contractor did not use two allowances relating to foundation materials. The Contrac- tor did not meet the amended substantial completion date of June 9th for the Lump Sum Base Bid and Bid Alternative No. 3 due to subcontractor and supplier coordination issues on its part. The Lump Sum Base Bid and Bid Alternative No. 3 were substantially complete on June 15, 2017 (6 calendar days be- hind schedule). This delay led to the City to incur costs in terms of increased electricity use to provide water, and labor burdens imposed by the delay and faulty equipment. Per the Contract,missing the Sub- stantial Completion Date by six calendar days results in $9,000.00 in costs. 131 The Contractor has also not completed Bid Alternative No. 2 due to subcontractor coordination issues on its part. Bid Alternative No. 2 will require the Riverside Water Treatment Plant to shut down for up to 8 hours, and was originally intended to occur in March. City staff believe it is the City's interest to delay this work until October to allow water demands to lessen, and recommend that the Project's schedule be extended to November 15, 2017 to allow for this work to occur. • The circumstances said to necessitate the change in performance were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract was signed, and; • The change is germane to the original contract as signed, and; • The change order is in the best interests of the City of Elgin and authorized by law. SUMMARY OF CHANGES IN CONTRACT AMOUNT: The Change Order amends the contract as to cost and to project schedule. The contractor did not use two allowances relating to foundation materi- als, so the cost for these is being deducted from the contract amount. The Change Order also extends the Substantial Completion date for Alternative Bid No. 2 to October 31, 2017, and the Final Completion Due Date to November 15, 2017 to allow for this work to occur.
