title
Contract Change Order no. 18 for a Contract Decrease of $90,803.48 and Partial Payment No. 15 - Final for $326.39 for the Childcare Center Project.
body
Change Order #18 and Pay Application #15 will return the remaining project contingency funds to the City, reduce the guaranteed maximum price (GMP) under the Knutson Construction contract, and complete final billing. Change Order #17 previously included $326.39 for Kemp Electric and $80,434.13 for Webber Recreation playground shade structures. Because the City will instead contract directly with Webber Recreation for the shade project after the land transaction is complete, Change Order #18 reverses the $80,434.13 shade-structure increase and returns it to the contingency fund. The remaining contingency balance of $90,803.48 will then be credited back to the City, reducing the Knutson contract GMP from $7,228,835.00 to $7,138,031.52. Pay Application #15 reflects the $90,803.48 deduction and requests a final payment of $326.39; following payment, the City will have fully satisfied its contract with Knutson Construction, with the project 100% complete. The City may still submit up to $90,803.48 in eligible expenses for USDA grant reimbursement, including $6,221.79 for additional cubbies from Lakeshore Learning and approximately $80,000, excluding sales tax, for Webber Recreation.
