It7 " RFP #3 - Stage Relocation - CIP Concrete Proposal Narrative Jones Excavation, LLC DBA: Jones Concrete & Excavation 55350 Walla Walla River Rd, Milton-Freewater, OR 97862 541-310-3537 I normally do not give an explanation this extensive for change orders, but we see how the cost of this RFP seems unusually high. Complexjobs on a tight job site comes with complex issues. Our goal of this narrative is to provide insight into the additional work that is before us due to this change. ITEM: POINT OF ACCESS MOVED TO MAIN ENTRY STAIRCASE Due to poor access, the SQ stadia footings on the upper -level concourse area require carpenters, ironworkers, equipment operators, & truck drivers to work together simultaneously. Telehandlers, dump trucks, & excavators wilt be working side by side, passing through the access point shown in the drawing below many, many times. The original access point provided sufficient room for this, allowing this to happen SAFELY at efficient speeds. The new access point has far less room for equipment in passing. The path of travel through the new access point is also an additional 170ft away from the staging area (340ft round trip). You will also notice that the area just outside of the original access (new stage location) has 100ft of clear width between CMU buildings, area that would have been utilized for nearby staging. The new access (south ramp area) is 34ft wide at its largest area. It is too small to stage anything. On an extremely tight job site, this space is invaluable for staging. Material for all scopes of our work wilt have to be stored in the NE parking lot, sometimes on top of other materials. The relocation of the stage has also made all stage work a part of the critical path, requiring more work done before the stadia erectors are able to begin work. The original stage was not a part of the critical path and allowed us to work on the stage far after stadia construction began. In the meantime, the footprint of the original stage would be utilized for staging. In addition to my points above, our pump truck location for the stadia footings, walls, etc, all across the jobs site was the new stage location. This was a central location and with a 47m pump, this allowed us to pour multiple items on the job site without repositioning the concrete pump. This stage move seems small but will have effects on efficiency and costs for many other work items. We hope this is enough information to warrant a single lump sum item. ITEM: Construction Joints in Footings / Walls In order to make the new access work, we have to also hold off on the northernmost footing and stem wall of the south ramp. This added a construction joint (CJ) in the footing, and a construction joint in the wall. There will also be Us in footings and walls on either side of the south staircase. This will add an additional pump truck pour as well as lost materials, lost efficiency in these areas, & lost time in the schedule. i71;1
