FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator
DATE: June 4, 1991
SUBJECT: Authorizing the increase in the Supplemental Work Allowance for change
orders to the Martinez Detention Facility F- & M-Modules Construction
Contract
Specific Request(s) or Recommendation(s) & Background & Justification
RECOM4KOATION ACTION
AUTHORIZE, the Director, Justice System Programs to order changes or additions in
the work performed up to a revised limit of $190,000 in place of the current
contract limit of $72,000.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There are no financial impacts since the requested amount is already budgeted
except that the recommendation will reduce paper work and make the administration
of building construction contracts more timely and efficient.
REASONS FOR RECOMPHMATION/BACKGROUND
A. The Public Contract Code, Section 20142, specifies that, "The Board of
Supervisors may, by board order, authorize the County Engineer, or other
county officer, to order changes or additions in the work being performed
under construction contracts". Section 20142 requires that such orders
shall be in writing and that the extra costs for any change or addition to
the work so ordered shall not exceed ten percent of the amount of original
contracts exceeding $50,000, but in no event shall the extra cost of any
change or addition to the work so ordered exceed $25,000.
B. The construction contract currently contains a $72,000 Supplemental Work
Allowance for change orders. Due to the large number of unforeseen changes
encountered during construction this amount must be revised upward to
$190,000 to allow construction completion. No single changes exceeding
$25,000 nor cumulative changes exceeding the revised Supplemental Work
Allowance of $190,000 will be authorized without the Board of Supervisors'
approval.
C. Authorization is needed so that the County can continue to process building
construction contract change orders in a timely manner.
