Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: James Goehrung, Director of Facility Services
Chuck Winn, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Change Order #3, for the Landfill Building Addition.
Change Order #4, modification of the existing contract to include
additional work. Finish tape and paint the sheet rock wall that was
installed for fire rated protection for foam insulation.
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2009
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent Agenda
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to sign Change Order #3 for the
Landfill Building Addition. The result of this change order will be an increase to the project in
the amount of $3,919.12.
Authorize the City Manager to sign Change Order #4 for the Landfill Building Addition. This
change order is to add additional services to the existing contract in the amount of $2,236.60.
The work included in this change order is to add finish taping and paint to the required fire
protection and fire rating between the new addition and the existing garage. The paint will
provide protection to the installed drywall when vehicles and equipment are washed down in the
garage so that the water does not deteriorate the drywall.
BACKGROUND: Change Order #3 includes four items;
CP#5002 is for the addition of 2 smoke and fire dampers between the existing offices and the
new garage. During the plan review process, which was done concurrent with bidding, the
Building Department called out the need for smoke and fire breaks between the new addition and
the existing parts of the existing building. The dampers were needed because of the total square
footage of the old and new addition. The price for the two dampers, labor, equipment, and
materials to install is $1,611.20.
CP#5008 is for the modification and relocation of the walls in the locker room. During the early
design stages for the project, a clear description of the peak use times of the locker room area
was not outlined for the design team. Once the walls were framed up, it was clear that the area
would not accommodate the full crew, lockers, and changing benches. This change allowed the
square footage of the locker room to be increased and some of the hallways reduced. Because
the change was initiated when only the walls were framed in and no other services or utilities
installed the cost for the revision is $677.60.

CP#5011 is a change to accommodate snow loads on the site. The roof of the building is a metal
roof. Snow accumulation on a metal roof often results in a sudden release of snow off the roof.
The sudden release of snow is both a safety concern and a maintenance concern. In talking with
the landfill staff, they pointed out that the orientation of the building and the weather conditions
have yielding snow problems in the past. Because the total square footage of the roof area is
increasing with the addition, snow cleats were added to the roof. These cleats provide enough
holding power that the snow will not slide off in one giant cascade. In anticipation of the slow
melt of snow and the freeze and thaw cycles of the accumulated snow, an outlet was added so
that if ice damning becomes a problem heat tape can be installed in the gutters and down spouts.
The cost for these pro-active maintenance items is $1,370.62.
CP#5012 is also related to the modifications of the locker room. The IT closet area was reduced
in order to provide additional square footage for the locker room. The reduction required the
addition of another light fixture. The reduction of space required a smaller fixture so that there
was space for both the light and exhaust fan in the IT closet. A combined light and fan unit was
installed with credit provided for the fan that was already scheduled to be installed. The fixture
and additional wiring amounted to $259.70.
Total cost for Change Order #3 is $3,919.12.
Change Order #4 is an increase in the scope of the project. Change order number #2 addressed
the addition of sheet rock as a cost effective fire break for the urethane foam insulation that was
sprayed on in the old garage area. The installed sheet rock was originally priced out to be fire
taped. Fire taping is a cost saving measure often used in utility areas where appearance is not a
problem. The seams of the sheet rock are taped and only one coat of drywall mud is applied to
the tape and fasteners. This technique leaves large areas of the sheet rock exposed. The exposed
surface is the paper covering over the gypsum material. The landfill crew has identified the
exposed paper as a problem. The crews often wash down equipment and vehicles in the garage.
If the exposed paper is sprayed with water it will deteriorate. This added change will fully bed
the seam tape and fill in all the fastener holes. A coat of primer and two coats of finish paint will
be applied to protect the new sheet rock wall. The cost for this additional work is $2,236.60.
Total cost for Change Order #4 is $2,236.60.

be charged against the contingency account which stands as follows;
Project Contingency $27,361.85
