Project: Sewer Regulators R4 &R39 Modifications <br /> Change Order No.1 <br /> Change Order Effective Date: February 26, 2018 <br /> Note: Any costs involved to make modifications to the existing regulator structure,payment for any <br /> materials that were purchased by Contractor to connect new 48-inch pipe to existing pipe in the <br /> location of existing regulator structure, and payment for materials purchased to construct MH#3 that <br /> were not used as part of the modified regulator structure, were paid for under bid item #35 - force <br /> account. <br /> Bid Item#26— Gravel Borrow <br /> The justification for the existing bid item #26 is as follows. <br /> Additional tons of gravel borrow were used during the backfilling operations around the structures <br /> installed at the R4 site. Since the new structures installed were deep excavations, (on the order of 20'- <br /> 25' in depth),the use of 3/4-inch chip material was used to backfill around the bottom lower 1/2 of the <br /> structures installed. This material was paid for under the gravel borrow bid item as it was being used <br /> in that capacity. The depth of the excavations, in conjunction with site configuration restrictions <br /> prevented the use of compaction equipment from reaching these lower areas. Use of hand operated <br /> jumping jacks to compact the deeper locations also would pose safety concerns once shoring system <br /> was removed. Use of the 3/4-inch chips which doesn't require a compaction, in-lieu-of gravel borrow, <br /> was a practical solution to this problem. The quantities allowed for in the original bid proposal makes <br /> one believe that reusing much of the native excavated material, as backfill material, was originally <br /> anticipated by the design engineer. The lack of room on the site to store these excavated materials, <br /> prevented there reuse. <br /> Additionally at the R39 site, during excavation around the R39 vault structure, the concrete wall <br /> thickness of the structure was considerably greater than depicted in the plans. As a result,this forced <br /> the need for a larger excavated area, which in turn required additional tons of gravel borrow to backfill <br /> the excavation during restoration phase. <br /> Bid Item #29—Landscaping & Irrigation Restoration @ R4 Site <br /> Item #36—Landscaping & Irrigation Restoration <br /> The justification for deleting bid item#29 and adding new item #36 is as follows. <br /> After installation of the underground storm sewer improvements were completed, an Everett Parks <br /> Department representative completed a full site evaluation of the damage done to the landscape& <br /> irrigation systems and then provided City Construction Management with drawings and details of the <br /> materials & equipment needed to restore these systems. <br /> The Contractor could not have known at the time of bid what the damage would be to the existing <br /> landscaping& irrigation systems, nor what the final landscaping& irrigation restoration requirements <br /> were going to be desired by the Parks representative. Therefore, performing this work on a time & <br /> material basis, versus the original lump sum basis, was determined to be the appropriate way to <br /> administer this work effort. <br /> Page 5 of 6 <br />
