WHAT ARE THE REAL PAVING CONTRACT OVERAGE NUMBERS?
Much talk at Delegate Assembly
about how M&M has billed us $500,000.00 more than the contract calls
for!
-
Well guess what, that number is actually $378,000.00 high. The actual overage is, as noted in the spreadsheet above
more like $122,066.50
-
What are those monies; Permit
and procurement fees, Car stops, Drain extensions, Trip hazards, Field change
orders. Oh, by the way, there is a matter of $104,732.00 to repave the
walkways.
-
In a project totalling
$4,762,792.50 this represents 2.56 % of the total of all paving
contracts.
-
The point is simple, in a
contract of this size and complexity, issues arise in the field which must be
resolved in near real time, to avoid additional time and charges occasioned by
delay. These decisions were made and authorized by our LCAM, and selected Officers of UCO; and that is their responsibility!

It has just become increasing difficult to trust the assurations that we paid over $ 500,000.00 more than we contracted for with the above chart.
