Supporting information: (Use other side if necessary)
On August 17, 1971, the City Council approved the award of contract
for the Civic Center remodeling by Resolution No. 6166. As the
work progresses on the remodeling, and for that matter on any project
of this magnitude, conditions develop which are not covered by the
plans or are covered but should be changed to carry out the concept
of the project.
The specifications indicate that all change orders must be approved
by the owner and in this case the City Council acts for the City,
which is the owner. Needless to say, some changes are minor, can be
made at no cost and should be accomplished without processing throug
the City Council. Likewise, some changes must be made to carry out
the scope of the work, which have been omitted from the plans.
It is therefore requested that the City Council authorize the pro-
cessing of change orders for the Civic Center remodeling project,
with the Director of Public Works being authorized to sign change
orders in behalf of the City, under the following conditions.
1. All change orders must be processed according to the
specifications.
2. Basic requirement that the change order does not alter the
scope of the project and:
(a) No change in the contract price.
(b) Change order necessary because of omission in plans. Chang
in contract price not to exceed $1,000.
(c) Total change in contract price for all change orders not to
exceed $6500 total. (This is within the approprilated amount
(d) Emergency change required by architect. Price to be
negotiated.
