Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action regarding Change Order No. 9 in the amount of ($151,545.26) for Project 22IFB57 CR 401 Reconstruction (James Construction Group) P: 390 Funding Source: Road Bond.

This Change Order provides the final balancing for the overruns/underruns of contract quantities on the project that are a result of addressing field conditions not accounted for in the original plans. An Extended Overhead item was added for the cost incurred by the contractor waiting on UPRR to finish work on the railroad crossing. This Change Order provides payment to the contractor for additional pavement preparation prior to the final striping, due to the construction activity near the Samsung project. This Change Order also adds items for installing object markers that were not originally included in the plans. Lastly, the Change Order adds an item for rock riprap to be placed in various locations throughout the project to prevent erosion. Please see attached Change Order for additional information.

This Change Order results in a net decrease of $151,545.26 to the Contract amount, for an adjusted Contract total of $13,790,229.91. The original Contract amount was $12,673,200.94. As a result of this and all Change Orders to-date, $1,117,028.97 has been added to the Contract, resulting in an 8.81% net increase in the Contract cost. No additional days will be added to or deducted from the Contract as a result of this Change Order.
