This Change Order results in an increase of $214,351.37 to the Contract amount, for an adjusted Contract total of $13,315,267.83. The original Contract amount was $12,673,200.94. As a result of this and all Change Orders to-date, $642,066.89 has been added to the Contract, resulting in a 5.07% net increase to the overall Contract cost.

Additional time will be determined once materials are on site and will only be granted after the completion of the original scope of work.
