Page 1 of 1 1/14/2014 3225 PM Cape Fear Public Transportation Authority Operations Center Project Update January 2014 Construction Sitework including underground utilities, rough-in plumbing and electrical, elevator, lift and bus wash pits have been ongoing throughout the month. Curbing for the north parking lot has been installed. Block walls have been started. One hundred percent of the footings have been installed. Vehicle lifting equipment has begun arriving on site. Door frames have also been delivered. CFPUA water and sludge alum lines have been completed and tie in is scheduled for the week of January 20, 2014. The retention pond has been completed and erosion control vegetation has been installed. Change Orders To meet the desire to offset increases in the project cost with savings that do not dramatically impact the facility, January change orders were offset with reductions. Added costs in January include sleeves installed on water lines where they cross storm water lines. The $8,207 change was required by CFPUA and NC General Statutes. Hardware changes in the amount of$6,916 are recommended for approval following negotiations between the Authority and the general contractor regarding subjective language in the bid document. The original amount in dispute was over$20,000 and the compromise is believed to be in the best interest of the Authority. Radiant flooring manifold cabinets not included in the original bid were suggested by the Authority's mechanical engineer during the submittal process. The $3,580 change will protect the manifolds and minimize future maintenance costs. The pace of work by the site subcontractor has nearly exhausted all funding allocated to materials testing. The $8,600 not to exceed amount requested to be allocated to materials testing is believed to be sufficient to complete the contract. A full time material testing employee on site has been a valuable asset and will ensure contract compliance and a well-constructed facility. To offset the above additions, the Authority has identified a vehicle lift that is smaller than originally specified. The smaller lift will meet the needs of the Authority's vans and small LTV's. The total change orders requested for January equals a reduction in the project cost by$15,111. Budget The project budget for the period ending November is 0.80%under available and projected revenues. This assumes approval of the change order in the section above and pending NCDOT SFY 2014 allocations. All revenue identified for the project has been secured with the exception of$469,261.00 from NCDOT. This funding has been requested from NCDOT as part of their SFY 2014 allocation from the NC General Assembly. Applications for SFY 2014 state capital funds were due November 29, 2014. Staff has reached out to NCDOT regarding a decision date. According to the department, awards are expected before the end of January.
