Change Order No. 3 for $26,039.62 (0.85% increase) is being requested to incorporate the following previously issued contract modifications and allow a no-cost time extension to the contract of 456 days, from March 18, 2019 to June 15, 2020.

Contract Modification No. 22 for $2,934.03 was issued to cover additional cost to repair leaking roof drains at the existing warming shelter. This work was not included in the contract scope of work, but the leaking drains have damaged structural elements that are being repaired under a separate Contract Modification. This repair, although temporary, will protect the existing structure hollow columns from allowing water to penetrate them and going through a freeze-thaw cycle in winter. Additionally, there is significant water ingress to the warming shelter when it rains, and this creates a slip hazard for commuters during winter months.

Contract Modification No. 24 for $3,901.78 was issued to cover additional cost to remove and re-install plywood and drywall where necessary in vendor area and to install four (4) electrical outlets with brackets, wire and ¾” rigid electrical conduit in knee wall from vendor space to mechanical room. No electrical outlets were shown on the contract drawings to be installed in the vendor space. While the drawings included drywall and tile on the back wall, and drywall with paint on the other walls in the room, it was determined that it would be better to currently add electrical outlets to reduce the cost of future fit-out for the vendor space.

Contract Modification No. 25 for $6,284.21 was issued to cover additional cost due to revising the roofing detail at the elevator shaft roof. The plans provided for installing a center drain at the roof and running a drain pipe inside the shaft and out to the south east. However, after the holes were cored for the roof drains and the drain material installed, the elevator manufacturer/supplier identified that it was not allowable to install any drainage items within the elevator shaft. A revised roofing detail was provided; however, carpentry work had already been completed and some of the drainage work was completed prior to this change. This cost includes the additional effort to correct the roofline profile.

Contract Modification No. 26 for $8,649.05 was issued to cover additional cost to provide an additional gas line to the mechanical room. The plans did not indicate a gas line to be reconnected for the warming shelter heaters. Additional duct work was also required for return air for the furnace. The plans showed using the mechanical room as an air plenum, but did not require any equipment in the room to be rated for plenum usage. Installation of the return duct eliminated the need for providing plenum rated equipment in the room. The plans showed the combustion air piping to exit through the building roof. This would have exposed the pipe in the waiting area of the station, which would have been aesthetically unpleasing. The pipe was re-routed to exit the side of the building.

Contract Modification No. 29 for $4,270.55 was issued to cover additional labor to install wood framing around a vent pipe that was protruding from the slanted drywall ceiling and going to the roof. The vent pipe as installed could be seen from the waiting area and was aesthetically unpleasing. The wood framing, utilizing decking material already on site, provided for a more architecturally pleasing view.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

Change Order No. 19 for $21,799.50 (0.07% increase) is being requested to incorporate the following previously issued contract modifications:

Contract Modification No. 92 for $3,268.76 was issued to cover additional costs for an elevator operator to operate the Training Facility elevator so that Metra could move equipment into rooms on the second floor of the building. An elevator operator was required because the elevator was not yet approved for Metra use due to the then lack of an operational fire suppression system.

Contract Modification No. 93 for $18,530.74 was issued to cover additional costs for labor and material to install a control panel, pressure switches, compressor, and other associated components required for a fully operational fire alarm system in the Storage Building. The City of Chicago would not issue a Certificate of Occupancy without a fully operational fire alarm system in the building. The contract plans and specifications did not specify this work.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.
