ITEM TITLE: Resolution /�W o Approving Change Orders 78 through 80
for the Town Centre Parking Stricture
SUBMITTED BY: Building & Housing Director�5 4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
REVIEWED BY: City Manager4
On March 13, 1984, the City Council accepted the work on the construction of
the Town Centre Parking Structure by C. E. Wylie Construction Co. , the general
contractor. The structure is open and in use. However, there are three
remaining change orders to be paid. The delay in bringing them to your
attention was due to the contractor's request for payment of extended overhead
in addition to the amounts charged in the change orders. Meetings have gone
on between staff and the contractor to attempt resolution of the issue. The
result was an impasse with staff insisting that the extended overhead should
not be paid. Now, upon advice of the City Attorney, there is no further
reason to withhold these remaining change orders for your review and
approval . Extended overhead is not included in this request for payment.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Council approve the resolution approving change
orders 78 through 80 in the amount of $7427.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable
DISCUSSION:
Change Order 78
An optional structural device called a clip angle was substituted for the
dowels called for in the contract drawings by the Architect. There is a
difference in price between the dowels and the clip angle reflected by the
change order amount. The Architect thought the use of the clip angle was a
more expedient way to make the connection than to provide for the dowels since
the pre-cast manufacturer told us they cannot place the dowels according to
the Architect's specifications and guarantee their reliability. Also, these
devices were selected for increased seismic resistance in the freestanding
masonry wall . And they are a more efficient way to tie the brick walls to the
columns. Due to the method of installation, a delay for purposes of Council
review would have increased the cost by an estimated $1250. Therefore, the
clip angles were installed after discussion with the Architect. $3617.

Change Order 79
When traffic striping was being done in the structure, just prior to its
opening, the subcontractor suggested that 27 more spaces could be gained if
the angle of the stalls were changed. Since the intent of the Agency was to
provide as much parking as possible in the Focus Area by the construction of
the parking structure, the decision was made to maximize the parking per
Agency policy. Thus 27 additional stalls were striped and as many wheelstops
were added. The cost is $1311.
Change Order 80
Design changes were made to the roadway and sidewalk behind United Artist's
Theatre that were approved by the Architect and the Design Review Committee as
reported when Change Order 43 for the same item was approved. The contractor
originally submitted the amount owed him as $1902 which was approved for
payment by Council . Subsequently, an error in pricing was found by the
contractor and a second bill correcting the error was submitted for payment.
The sidewalk included decorative pavers which were placed according to the
modified design. Those pavers were not included in the original invoice by
the contractor. The amount requested and the contractor's prices were
reviewed by the former Resident Inspector and verified for payment. $2499.
FISCAL IMPACT: A contingency amount of $125,000 or 5% of the contract
amount was set aside for the purpose of financing change orders. A zero
balance remains in the account.
