APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF February 28, 1995
CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 TO CONTRACT FOR
REMODELING, 1305 MACDONALD AVENUE,
RICHMOND FOR SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT
C. Since the condition of the floor fill makes it an
unsuitable substrate for new flooring and since the floor
fill is contaminated by asbestos containing materials, the
floor fill will be removed and treated as an asbestos-
contaminated material under the change order. The prime
contractor has submitted at least three competitive bids
from subcontractors licensed to abate asbestos and this
change order is based on using the lowest sub-bid.
D. Until the cementitious floor fill material can be abated,
the prime contractor will be required to use a protective
membrane over the exposed areas of floor fill while other
building elements are being demolished or removed.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT ACTING
If this change order is not approved, the project will be
delayed by at least three months and will result in substantial
contractor claims for delay and extra lease payments for other
temporary facilities which are housing the usual staff
occupants of 1305 MacDonald Avenue during the remodeling.
