Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action regarding Change Order No. 1 in the amount of ($68,961.25) for Project 21IFB20 Coupland Project (S. Broad & Muery St) (Chasco Constructors) P: 373 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. This Change Order also adds new items for removal and replacement of existing driveway culverts. The existing driveway culverts were in such poor condition that they would no longer function.

The Change Order also includes changes to the pavement structure throughout the project. Due to the shallow utilities in and around the roadway, the minimal amount of traffic, and the results of the potholed existing pavement section, it was deemed adequate to rework the base material in-place and add 3” of Ty B asphalt to the pavement section.

The final item added in this Change Order is ditch cleaning and grading needed to ensure proper drainage along Muery Street and at the downstream end of Culvert #1 off Broad Street where water stood for years. There was also a small section of ditch regraded at the intersection of Elliot Street and Broad Street.  

Following is a summary of the new items required for this Change Order:

ITEM	DESCRIPTION	UNIT	QTY
104-6017	REMOVING CONC (DRIVEWAYS)	SY	6.70
460-6001	CMP (GAL STL 12 IN)	LF	116

3076-6005	D GR HMA TY B (PG 64-22)(3")	TN	469

This Change Order results in a net decrease of $68,961.25 to the Contract amount, for an adjusted Contract total of $450,957.75. The original Contract amount was $519,919.00. As a result of this and all Change Orders to-date, the Contract has been decreased by $68,961.25, resulting in an 13.26% net decrease in the Contract cost.
