PUBLIC WORKS & LECOMPTON BRIDGE 04-02-07
The Board considered increasing the Change Order for the early completion incentive for the Kansas River Bridge at Lecompton, Project No. 2005-11 as approved on March 19, 2007. Keith Browning, Director of Public Works, was present for the discussion. Jones questioned if the contractor could feasibly complete the repairs earlier than the 10-day incentive package that had already been approved by the County Commission. Browning stated the contractor provided the County with estimates of the chances that the project could be completed 6 days early, 12 days early and 18 days early. The contractor thought there was a slight chance the project could be complete 12-18 days early, but that is was not feasibly to be completed earlier than that. After discussion, Jones moved to authorize the Public Works Director to increase the Change Order for the construction contract for Project 2005-11, the rehabilitation of the Kansas River Bridge at Lecompton, increasing the early completion maximum incentive limit from $100,000 to $150,000, with a $10,000 per day limit. The motion was seconded by Johnson and carried 3-0.
