Change order No.16-01 is requested by the General Contractor to install additional pressure treated wood block at the roof level on the north side of the Science/Library building to permit installation of metal panels. The existing blocking at the roof level of the building was not as indicated on the original drawings. It was also not securely attached to the sub-framing. In order to provide a suitable substrate to anchor the new metal panels additional blocking needed to be installed. Since work was already underway when the condition was discovered the work was performed on a time and material basis.

Change order No. 16-02 is requested by the General Contractor to replace VCT at Latonia stairwell where it was removed by the owner for asbestos abatement. The contract documents required patching of the existing VCT where it was removed to install the under slab plumbing in the stairwell.

Change order No. 16-03 is requested by the General Contractor to provide and install lock cores in removable mullions and panic devices. The Architect mistakenly thought that the lock cores for the removable mullions were going to be provided by the school district to the contractor for installation. Since this was not the case (64) lock cores needed to be purchased.

Change order No. 16-04 is requested by the Architect to delete (4) access panels in the Administration Building toilet rooms. This will be a credit to owner for work not performed.

The Certified Evaluation Plan (CEP) has been revised in compliance with

KRS 156.557 and approved by the Covington Independent Public Schools 50/50 committee.  The CEP was approved by the Covington Board of Education in April before submitting to the Kentucky Department of Education for review. Upon review, Kentucky Department of Education required some substantive language changes (e.g. removal of all “KDE-approved” statements, removal of “state approved” descriptors, etc.) which results in another approval from the local board of education.
