I looked at the change orders submitted and approved dated January 18, 2010 for Metea (found on BoardDocs for January SB meeting). The amount approved was for $44,202 but the total amount included totalled $211,530. Can anyone explain what the discrepancy is? Are we really only paying $44,202 the approved amount? I'd like to think our construction manager finally figured out to stand up and negotiate some of these change orders but I'm wondering if that isn't giving him too much credit
.Here are some of the most fascinating change orders:
$26,790 Allied Landscaping
changes to baseball/softball infield design due to soil conditions after the bid
$34,694 Allied Landscaping
additions to landscaping that were required due to soil conditions after the bid
$5,542 Abbey Paving
changes to shot put throwing sector design details after bid
$10,456 Applied Controls
unforeseen charges for overtime work required to maintain construction schedule
$1719 Divane Brothers Electrical
unforeseen changes requested by DuPage County Health Department to lighting system design details after the bid
$70,664 Superior Floor Covering
deletions to flooring scope
Anyone have any idea what the total amount is of change orders for Metea? When we have teachers losing their jobs I can't help but find it offensive to be spending $5500 for a shot put area or $27,000 for a baseball/softball design problem due to soil conditions.
Thoughts?
gotta get with the program--ANYTHING for the northern Neuqua -- and where the funds come from - well who the hell knows since they never have to account for a thing. Only in this district -- as I said I really pray that all this whining over 'where's my money' results in some serious auditing from Lisa Madigan's office...
