December 13, Site Meeting
The biweekly site meeting was held on the above referenced project. Below is a summary of the
items discussed with Schrickel Rollins & Associates, Inc., prior to the meeting.
Relocation of steel and cable fence:
· Contractor submitted a change order in the amount of $16,491 to remove existing
fence, and install and paint 800 linear feet of fence. This averages out to be
$20.61/L.F.
· City Inspector obtained separate contractor price of $10.75/L.F. to install and paint
fence.
· Change order is not in line with current construction prices. SRA will contact Philip
Bennett with isi to discuss the amount of the change order.
Proposed sidewalk along Creekview Drive
· The proposed sidewalk weaves in and out of the right-of-way. The sidewalk may
conflict with any future fencing installed along the right-of-way by the Parks and
Leisure Services Department.
· The location of the future Phase III entrance to Wagon Wheel Park is shown on the
construction plans and is within + 100 feet of where it will actually be located.
· SRA will need to coordinate the construction of Creekview Drive with the future
design of Wagon Wheel Park in order to avoid potential construction conflicts.
3. Tree removal from the stock pond area east of State Road
· Contractor submitted a change order in the amount of $5000 for removing trees along
the stock pond area that were not shown in the plans.
· The right-of-way was not staked when the contractor cleared the area.
· The change order amount is too high and SRA will contact isi to clarify the number of
trees actually outside of the work area. Aerial photographs indicate that many of the
trees cleared were within the right-of-way and the scope of work.
