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!
