I FC# ~ <br /> <br />AUTHORIZE CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 FOR CITY HALL REMODELING <br />PROJECT <br /> By: Heidi A. Nelson, Asst. City Administrator <br /> <br />Background: <br /> Remodeling of Ramsey City Hall began in early July. The attached change order <br />reflects requested changes in the contract through August 6th, 2002. The requested <br />changes are as follows: <br /> 1. Remove drywall ceiling and repair sheetrock after water leak is corrected. <br /> This is in the women's bathroom in the basement. The drywall in the <br /> ceiling is molded due to a water leak2 Contractors will remove drywall <br /> and allow owner to detect and repair water leak. Contractor will repair <br /> drywall. Owner will paint new drywall and balance of bathroom. <br /> 2. Add aluminum trim to the existing office windows to conceal gap at top. <br /> This will provide additional soundproofing to closed offices in <br /> Administration and Finance area. <br /> 3. Provide 20X16 return air path at south end on new wall in room 120. <br /> This will provide for air exchange between the new file storage room in <br /> the basement and the new community room. <br /> 4. Delete new electric panel LP-1 and associated feeder. <br /> As electrical work has proceeded and furniture plans were refined, it was <br /> determined that the additional electrical panel included in the original bid <br /> was not necessary. This provides a credit of $500 for the project. <br /> 5. Provide three-way switching in room 102. <br /> This will provide additional light switching in the fire training room <br /> currently being occupied by the Engineering Department. <br />I anticipate two additional change orders before the completion of this project. During <br />the construction, we have run into some difficulties with regard to the original electrical <br />wiring of the building that have required significant additional work by the electrical <br />contractors to bring the wiring up to current code requirements. I anticipate the cost of <br />the additional change orders to be similar to change order No. 1. If City Council is so <br />inclined, I would like to request authorization for the City Administrator to approve <br />change orders in an amount not to exceed $5000 in total, which represents 5% of the <br />overall construction bid. <br /> <br />(continued -next page) <br /> <br />-307- <br /> <br /> <br />
