Peoria County approves $38,650 to finish courthouse window work after scope change
Summary
Committee approved a $38,650 payment from contingency to finish courthouse window work on the Hamilton side after a contractor removed a portion of its scope internally; staff said Western will stand by its original price for remobilization.
Calvin, a Peoria County facilities staff member, presented a follow-up on courthouse window work at the Hamilton side and said this is a continuation of a discussion from last month. He said the contractor (identified in the record as Fairgram) altered its original scope by removing the ceiling of the windows on the new side during internal discussions, which left county staff unaware of the change during negotiations.
Calvin said Western (a contractor referenced in the discussion) will stand by its price and will not increase the cost for remobilization. The county will use $38,650 from the project's regular contingency to continue and finish work on the affected side. "So the current price would be the $38,650 to continue to finish the the work on the move side. That will be pulled out of the regular contingency," Calvin said.
The committee approved the action by unanimous voice vote after a motion by Marchey and second by Terry. Calvin said someone had been made accountable for the oversight and staff believed the county saved money by the adjusted scope; no further action items or timelines for final completion were recorded in the transcript.
