Assessment District No. 78-2 Change Order No. 1, Contract "A" Mr. Elliott reviewed a memorandum dated August 1, 1980, relating to approval for payment of Change Order No. 1, for Assessment District No. 78-2, in the amount of $47,458.44. Mr. Elliott advised the contract between the City and W. R. Showalter and Associates, the assessment engineers, indicates that the "engineers shall prepare change orders as required". Mr. Elliott concluded Staff recommends that the City Council approve the payment of $47,458.44, to be taken out of the contingency accounts. Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilwoman Garcia, to approve payment of Change Order No. 1, Assessment District No. 78-2, in the amount of $47,458.44. Before the voting, Councilwoman Garcia questioned the change order and asked how this came about. Mr. Joseph R. Sidor, Civil Engineer with W. R. Showalter and Associates, stated the change orders were brought about because of changes in conditions during the course of construction, which were unforeseen before the time that the contract was award- ed. Councilwoman Garcia said she noted that one of the changes stated the original location was unavailable by the land owner. Mrs. Garcia questioned how this could come about, and asked isn't there some agreement with the landowner before going into this. Mr. Sidor responded that the way he understands it, there were agreements made with the landowner before, during and after the award of the contract, and he believed that a settlement was not completed at the time of the contract award. Mr. Sidor continued that a particular location for the spoil area at that time was designated, and it, in turn, had to be relocated to a further, distant location, which involved additional cost due to transportation and hauling of equipment, compacting the equip- ment to the preference of the new landowner. Mrs. Garcia asked aren't these agreements binding, isn't there anything to protect the City so that we do not have to pay for these change orders later on. Mr. Sidor responded that if the new location was designated as such in the original contract, the cost of hauling this material to the new location would be equivalent to what it is at this stage.
