Background/Purpose of Request:
The Carolina Shores Sewer SAD (29) construction project is complete with the contractor achieving Substantial Completion on January 17, 2018. The new sewer pump station was put into service on 11/21/2017 with a partial certification from NCDEQ-DWQ, and final full approval to operate the sewer collection system within the neighborhood is expected very soon.
The original construction contract amount was $1,820,584 with a contract start date of January 2, 2017, and a contract time of (240) days, thereby making the original end date August 30, 2017. There was one change order to the contract to install three small diameter water mains on three short streets that did not get water with the water system installation years ago. The contract adjusted end date, due to additional time allowed, valid rain dates, and county closures, was October 26, 2017. The Final Adjusting Change order, after accounting for various additions and subtractions to final quantities installed, and also including a deduction for $61,500 for liquidated damages (61.5 days @ $1,000 per day), is deductive in the amount of ($82,573.42), thereby making the final contract price $1,738,010.58.
Staff recommends approval of this deductive final adjusting change order in the amount of ($82,573.42) and the final adjusted contract price of $1,738,010.58.
