DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On September 17, 2024, the Board approved a contract to GWP Construction, Inc. (GWP) for the waterline replacement at the Marion County Jail, in the amount of $516,662.82. On December 17, 2024, a change order was issued to utilize $6,263.23 of the contingency, after the contractor encountered an unexpected conflict with an unmarked 24” corrugated metal storm drain. On February 3, 2025, another change order was issued to utilize $30,825.10 of the contingency to add a new water line to the jail warehouse building, tunneling the 8” water line under the perimeter fence and E&F pods, and new isolation valves to be installed at the A&C pods. Neither of those change orders required Board approval.
Change Order 3 is being presented to add an additional $53,579.50. During Phase 2, GWP crews discovered that portions of Phase 1 were not completed as indicated on the as-built drawings. Phase 1 must be completed prior to completing Phase 2, which includes tying in the Phase 1 line to the jail at two (2) separate locations. The Phase 1 line also, must be cleaned and tested prior to tying into the building.
Attached for review is a copy of the Change Order. Pending approval today, the change order will be presented for the Clerk and Chair’s signatures.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
