Agenda Item (VIII-E-7)

On June 17, 2014, the Board of Trustees approved award of bids for twenty-two (22) scopes of work in the amount of $50,266,678 for the Culinary Arts Academy & District Offices (CAA/DO), Coil School for the Arts (CSA) and Parking Structure (Phase 2 Construction Bid Categories 04 through 23 & 25). Included in the award was a contract with Neal Electric in the amount of $3,434,259.

At this time it is requested that the Board of Trustees approve the following for the Culinary Arts Academy and District Offices Project: 1) Change Order No. 11 with Neal Electric in the amount of $31,167.51; and 2) amending their contract to $4,002,519.60, exceeding the allowable change order contingency by a total amount of $224,834.70. The added costs conveyed in Change Order No. 11 stems from the pass through cables requiring Extron AAP plates and modules for end user connections, which the original bid documents did not call for. In addition, conference room credenza racks have been added. Detailed costs are listed on the attached Change Order Summary
