Change Order #05:
It is necessary to extend the contract completion date by several months due to the time-consuming resolution of various unforeseen conditions. These conditions included the discovery that existing archive drawings from a major building renovation over 50 years ago inaccurately depicted the layout of major drain lines under the concrete floor of the building. While investigation pits and trenches were made in the lower-level foundation of the building, large excavated areas outside the building in the park also existed where new piping for the system had to be installed. These conditions made it impossible to proceed with certain subsequent work scope throughout the building until a final engineered solution was developed. Specifically, this impacted the installation of the elevator, gymnasium floor, ceiling finishes and lighting, general carpentry, painting, doors/hardware, plumbing and electrical.
This change order is to cover additional contractor General Condition costs that include project labor and equipment rentals for construction fencing, trailer and storage containers required to continue to manage and execute the remaining project scope within the time extension period to completion.
The circumstances that necessitate this contract modification were not reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract was signed, were not within the contemplation of the contract assigned and are in the best interest of the Chicago Park District.
The contractor’s proposal has been reviewed by the Project Manager and Design Consultant and found to be reasonable.
