As of June 18, 2021 the project will be awarded with the exact dollar to Ray’s Electric. The tentative day to award the contract by the City Council is in late August or early September, with anticipated starting day in October 2021. The following is to be added: The City reserves the right to make such alterations, deviations, additions to or omissions from the plans and specifications, including the right to increase or decrease the quantity of any item or portion of the work, as may be deemed by the Engineer to be necessary or advisable and to require such extra work as may be determined by the Engineer to be required for the proper completion or construction of the whole work contemplated. Such changes, no matter how many, shall be within the contemplation of this Contract and shall not be the basis for a compensable delay. Any such changes will be set forth in a contract change order which will specify, in addition to the work to be done in connection with the change made, adjustment of contract time, if any, and the basis of compensation for such work. A contract change order will not become effective until approved by the authorized City official and/or the City Council. A reservation of rights, non-waiver of claims, or similar exceptions or reservations by the Contractor on a Change Order for additional time, money, or anything else shall not be permitted and are of no force or effect. It is the intent of the City to have all Change Orders issued comprehensively to address all issues known and unknown relating to time and/or costs. For contracts approved by the City Council for initial prices of less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), individual and/or cumulative change orders of Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) or that amount approved by City Council Action or greater require City Council approval. For contracts approved by the City Council with initial prices of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or more, individual and/or cumulative changes orders which exceed Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) or that amount approve by City Council Action plus ten percent (10%) of the initial contract price over One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) require City Council approval.
