Board Order to Approve
Issuance of a Change Order for
Merrithew Memorial Hospital Replacement Project
Bid Package No.4
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Change Order No. 3 will provide for the following:
Proposed Change Order No. 11 -900 pair telephone service to lower Hospital campus $34,500.00
Per current plan, the new hospital will receive a primary telephone feed. In order to provide connectivity to the lower
campus, a 900 pair telephone cable needs to be installed to the existing lower campus telephone closet. In addition, the
Owner requested that fiber connectivity be provided to the same location.
The scope of this exterior work is beyond the original scope of the contract. It was deemed prudent and desirable to have the
current cabling contractor perform this added work in order to maintain a single point of contact for cable warranty issues and
leverage existing crew and contract mobilization. Due to procurement and installation issues, the contract completion date
has extended from June 2 to August 15, 1997. An excusable, non-compensable time extension is granted by issuance of this
change order. By this agreement, the contractor will not pursue extended overhead costs, and conversely, the owner will not
pursue contract time provisions.
The new guaranteed maximum cost will exceed the total estimated cost stated in the construction contract agreement
approved by the Board on November 19, 1996. The new guaranteed maximum cost will total$540,975.00.
