H -5 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: October 8, 2013 AGENDA ITEM: Request for approval of change order for contract with Price Buildings for repair of brick at the Roanoke County Courthouse SUBMITTED BY: Anne Marie Green Director of General Services APPROVED BY: B. Clayton Goodman III County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: On July 9, 2013, the Board approved a request to appropriate $65,000 for the repair of the soffit at the Roanoke County Courthouse due to bricks falling onto the sidewalk below. The County entered into a contract with Price Buildings, Inc. for $34,890 and the repair work began in September. Once work began, it became obvious that additional repairs were needed in other areas of the building. While the brick currently appears sound in the rear of the Courthouse, it is attached in the same manner, and fixing it now will prevent another dangerous situation in the future. It is also more economical to do all the work while the contractor is already on site. The additional work requires a change order to the contract in the amount of $11,302, which is more than ten percent (10 %) of the original amount and must be approved by the Board. FISCAL IMPACT: The additional funding is already in the amount originally approved by the Board in July 2013. The total contract price will now be $46,192. Page 1 of 2 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board approve the change order so that the remainder of the soffit can be strengthened at this time. VOTE: Supervisor Altizer moved to approve the staff recommendation. Motion approved. cc: Anne Marie Green, Director of General Services Rebecca Owens, Director of Finance Page 2 of 2 Yes No Absent Ms. Moore z ❑ ❑ Mr. Altizer z ❑ ❑ Mr. Church z ❑ ❑ Mr. Elswick z ❑ ❑ Mr. Flora z El El cc: Anne Marie Green, Director of General Services Rebecca Owens, Director of Finance Page 2 of 2 ACTION NO.
