RE: Change orders related to West Wing Renovation
Mayor Donchess,
The West Wing Renovation project which began in October 2016 is nearing completion. The Contractor
and Architect have submitted the attached change orders to the original contract due to a variety of
factors, including unexpected conditions in the field and additions to the project at the request of the
Trustees.
The most significant change order submitted was the replacement of all existing fluorescent fixtures
with new LED fixtures at a cost of $16,821. The Board of Trustees requested this change to the original
scope of work when it was determined that moisture mitigation was not required for the concrete floor,
eliminating that potential $28,880 change order outlined in the original contract. The switch to LED
fixtures improves the lighting in the new space and will result in significant cost savings.
Other electrical change orders (Stellos } included:
Replacement of existing smoke detectors: the existing smoke detectors were incompatible
with the new alarm panel installed as part of the project. Cost: $1,184
New patch panel: additional data outlets in the meeting rooms in the new wing required the
addition of a new patch panel, this was not included in the original specifications. Cost: $287
Installation of outlets in the new service desk: this work was not included in the original
specifications. Cost: $919
Supply and install power poles in computer training room: this work was not included in the
original specifications Cost: $2125
Delete TV drops: The original specifications called for TV installations in rooms that do not
require them so that work was remove. Credit: $235
2 plumbing change orders (EJC Engineering) were submitted for:

being installed: this was as unexpected condition revealed only when the existing column
covers were removed. Cost: $2556
installation of a sink in the activity room: this work was left off of the original specifications
Cost: $2062
