Rationale:
G. Scott Architects received a request to add a window and relocate 1 door at the Innovation Lab right before 12/10/25. Based on the timing, we were unable to add to the December meeting's agenda.
G. Scott Architects reviewed the proposal and although the costs are higher than the previous added windows, they were determined to be reasonable costs. The previous pricing was based upon the concept of making the changes while the contractor was in the process of doing other framing and plaster repair. Now that framing work is complete, they will need to remobilize the carpenters and drywall team. They have already started finishes including staining and painting in the space. We find the cost to be reasonable and the contractor would like to proceed ASAP to minimize the impact on your project completion schedule.
Attached is the proposal form Derek Engineering to relocate the door and add a window at the corridor wall
for $10,820.00
Your contingency for this project is $3,148.55 and there is not currently enough money in contingency to cover the total cost.
This has been communicated to the donor and they have expressed intent to cover all costs associated with this change order. G. Scott Architects will need a board action to accept change order and to update the BG-1 to include the added funding to the project through the external partner agreement. |
