Scope of Work: This request for a change order addresses two immediate elements:
(1) incurred overhead costs associated with eight (8) inclement weather days during the 2022 project year, and (2) additional labor/material costs to connect to the new switch gear and generators within the Georgia Power substation.
The existing authorized contract defines an inclement weather day and stipulates how the owner’s directed contingency is utilized to compensate the JV regarding overhead costs. The JV provided supporting documents exhibiting total overhead costs during the eight (8) inclement weather days at $158,968.38 for the 2022 calendar year.
Georgia Power was engaged by the County to provide the power to the project from the substation on site. Public Works has identified the costs to have the new facility connected to the newly installed switch gear and backup generators at the substation owned and operated by Georgia Power. The cost for the electrical wiring and additional labor totals $180,475.75.
Community Impact: No community issues/concerns have been noted.
Department Recommendation: The Department of Public Works recommends approval of this item.
Project Implications: This change order satisfies Fulton County’s contractual obligations according to section 00700-053 Inclement Weather and section 00700-096 Contractor and Owner Contingency. Approval of this item will provide the Department of Public Works with the means to compensate the JV for work that is required to move this project closer to substantial completion.
