Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action regarding Change Order No. 8 in the amount of $14,333.44 for Project T3346 Southeast Loop Segment 1 Phase 1 (James Construction Group) P: 463 Funding Source: Road Bond.

This Change Order adds time to the barricades/traffic control item to compensate the Contractor for additional months of maintenance of safety devices for asphalt paving operations. This Change Order also compensates the Contractor for material on hand (18” RCP and Geo-grid) retained by the County, as a result of work that was deleted from the original Contract. These items were used on the adjacent CR 138 Right Turn Lane project. Please see the attached Change Order for additional details.

This Change Order results in a net increase of $14,333.44 to the Contract amount, for an adjusted Contract total of $12,725,661.58. The original Contract amount was $11,526,789.09. As a result of this and all Change Orders to-date, $1,198,872.49 has been added to the Contract, resulting in a 10.40% 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.
