October 18, 1990 Mr. Hanson Page Two to get new information to, and since there were only a few days remaining until bids were due, I made the decision to bid as drawn and resolve the matter during construction with a Change Order. The Change Order breaks down as follows; 1.) Recess plate labor is the charge to set all treated wood bearing plates down 11/2" into the poured concrete bond beams so that we could maintain our floor to floor height while switching from a top chord bearing truss to a bottom chord bearing truss. 2.) The truss material charge is for the increased size girders and additional set -up required to make the add- itional trusses which were needed after we introduced micro -lam beams to reduce the overall truss span. In effect we cut the longer trusses into two pieces so that we had a two for one gain. 3.) Truss labor was increased by having additional peices to install plus much larger girders to install. 4. & 5.) Micro -lam beams were added as per number 2 above. 6. Crane was required to install the larger girders. D.) Additional Earthwork. Add $297.00. This was actually sub- contractors overhead and profit that I had previously disallowed from the original Earthwork /Soil Corrections Change Order. The Contract Documents allow for this addition. E.) Irrigation System. Add $2,801.00. This Change Order was necessitated by the requirements of the State of Minnesota Department of Health. Please refer to the attached. I have con- firmed with Larry Walker of Sanders and Associates, Inc. that none of these items were to have been a part of the original Contract for Construction of the original irrigation equipment. Our work was to only involve the relocation of the existing irrigation equipment into the new building. Drawings were pre- pared on the assumption that the original installation was satisfactory to the Department of Health and that the relocation would be also since we were only moving what was outside to the inside. F.) Change Type 'A' Fixture. Add $3,510.00. All Type 'A' light fixtures as originally scheduled for this project were rejected by the Electrical Inspector, Mr. Dick Nelson of Metro Inspection Services. The fixtures were rejected as being unacceptable for use in anything other than fire resistive construction, which of course wood is not. The fixtures, manufactured by Kurt Verson, also bore a label stating the same. My Electrical Engineers specified these fixtures on the basis of literature provided by the manufacturer, literature which contains no information as to limitations on the fixture or it's use.
