KITTITAS COUNTY <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />PUBLIC WORKS — BOARD OF COUNTY CONMUSSIONERS <br />STUDY SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />STUDY SESSION DATE: September 14, 2020 <br />TOPIC: Upper County Shop Construction Change Orders Update <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Acknowledge Administrative Change Orders <br />LEAD STAFF: <br />Mark R. Cook <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Acknowledge Public Works settling of construction change orders for the Upper County <br />Shop. <br />BRIEFING SUMMARY: <br />0 The Board of County Commissioners previously deferred cumulative Change <br />Order (CO) approval (Upper County Shop) to the Director requiring monthly <br />updates as change orders are processed <br />• The following COs and associated cost are tabulated in the Financial section for <br />Board consideration <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Numerous small change orders are common during vertical construction projects <br />exceeding five million in total construction cost. Recognizing the value of rapid <br />processing of these change orders, the Director has secured settlement authority to the <br />Director's preapproval threshold for contracting ($50,000). In securing this authority, the <br />Director is committed to routinely providing and inventory of changes to the Board for <br />their consideration. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />Several changes have been implemented and several are pending. The following list of <br />changes have been approved: fiber network conduit, bollard covers, and 22 -gauge versus <br />24 -gauge metal roofing. Pending issues: changing the entry gate and adding soft start <br />motors to wash bay equipment. <br />FISCAL IMPACTS: <br />Authorized changes total: $8,4110.35 (the added conduit and gauge metal costs plus the <br />credit on the bollards). <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />None. <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />PUBLIC WORKS BOARD OF COUNTY CONIIvIISSIONERS WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />
