CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION Change Order to N & J Construction
1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 Current Situation During the course of the project construction four (4) specific delays occurred affecting the
original project schedule hence impacting the original final construction completion date. The general contractor was required to substantially complete the work within 425 calendar
days with final construction completion achieved 30 calendar days later for a total contract time of 455 calendar days, putting the original final construction completion date at September
6, 2009. The construction schedule was adversely affected to account for the following: 1. The delay in securing construction permits 2. Hazardous Materials Force Main Removals from
the site delay 3. Tropical Storm Fay weather delay 4. FPL Design and installation of main power service to the building delay. The total time extension recommended by the project Architect
and staff is 116 calendar days, for a total of 571 days to construct the Community Center. If this this recommendation is accepted, the new final construction completion date will be
January 1, 2010. The contract for the project does not allow for additional compensation to the contractor for time extensions, hence the recommendation does not increase the contract
amount. Attached as Exhibit‐A is a breakdown of the four (4) construction delays. Proposed Action: It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached resolution allowing the
City Manager to authorize Change Order #2 which will extend the project final construction completion time by 116 calendar days, from 455 days to 571 days. The new final construction
completion date is except to be January 1, 2010. In addition, the resolution gives the City Manager the authority to extend the contract an additional 30 calendars day, if necessary.
