Title: Approval of Spotsylvania County Animal Shelter-Stormwater Change Order
Type: Action
Agenda Title: Approval of Spotsylvania County Animal Shelter-Stormwater Change Order
Recommendation: Staff is requesting approval from the Board on the potential change order for stormwater associated with the Animal Shelter Renovation and Expansion.
Summary: Based on concerns from adjacent property owners the County has requested the contractor provide an estimated change order value to convert the proposed stormwater pond to an underground storm water system. The estimated cost of the change, including engineering, is approximately $200,000; this includes an approximate $80,000 credit for the stromwater pond deletion.
Committee/Commission Summary:
Review Date: Status:
Financial Impact:

Stormwater Potential Change Order:  $200,000

Allocation of funding to this change order will consume nearly 50% of available project contingency funding at a very early stage in the project; thus creating an increased potential for budget overruns in later stages of the project.

Staff Contacts:

Ben Loveday, Director Utilities/Public Works/Capital Projects

Brad Quann, Procurement Manager
Legal Counsel: Karl Holsten, County Attorney
Additional Background/Other Considerations: Spotsylvania County was approached by several adjacent property owners with concerns over project clearing of County property adjacent to privately owned land. The County indicated to the owners that the County was planting approximately 30 voluntary screening trees, above what is already required by Code, to limit impacts on adjacent parcels. The adjacent owners requested the County consider changing the project to include underground stormwater versus the typical stormwater pond being proposed.
Consequence of Denial/Inaction: The project will continue with the original stormwater pond design.
