DATE: May 3, 2019
SUBJECT: 42nd Avenue South Phase III & Gilliam Creek Culvert Replacement Projects
Project Nos. 99410303 & 99341208, Contract No. 17-090
Change Order No. 4
Allan Ekberg, Mayor
ISSUE
Approve Change Order (CO) No. 4 with Active Construction, Inc. (ACI) to resolve all new claims and disputes for the
42nd Avenue South Phase III Project.
BACKGROUND
Due to continuous issues with excessive ground water interference during excavation, changes and conflicts for
Seattle City Light (SCL) facilities, design issues, some inefficiencies by the contractor, and other unanticipated utility
conflicts, the 42nd Avenue South Phase III Project encountered schedule delays and cost overruns.
DISCUSSION
Change Order No. 3 was a compromise between the City and ACI to resolve outstanding construction disputes
through May, 2018, which was approved by Council in July, 2018. The execution of CO No, 3 avoided potential
claims and a possible legal battle with substantial legal fees by both parties and produced cost savings for the City.
After the execution of CO No. 3, PW staff and ACI worked cooperatively together to move the project forward.
However, for the reasons stated above and more unanticipated issues, the project cost overruns continued.
After extensive discussions and negotiations between PW staff and ACI, a mutual agreement was reached and
both parties agreed that it is in their best interest to complete the project in the most efficient way possible. The new
compromise is documented in Change Order No. 4.
In summary, CO No. 4 will:
• reduces the 14% mark-up rate (established in CO No. 3) to 12.5%, which still covers ACI's bond,
insurance, other general and administrative overhead costs, and profit. This change will result in a
savings of $164,000 for the City;
• enables City project staff to continue to work cooperatively with ACT's construction crew, in order to
efficiently complete the construction project with the least amount of cost;
• requires ACI to physically complete the project within six weeks after the utility conversion work is
completed;
• resolves all outstanding claims and disputes between the City and ACI and agrees not to pursue
legal action against each other when this CO is strictly followed.

40th - 42nd Avenue South Phase III Project
Contract Change Order No. 4
EXHIBIT A
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
Change Order (CO) #3 for the 40th — 42nd Avenue South Phase 3 Project, which was a compromise between the City and the
construction contractor (ACI) on resolving all the outstanding construction disputes through May 20, 2018, was executed on July 17,
2018. However, three months after the execution of CO #3, ACI started to alert the City that the cost increase from CO #3 would be
insufficient to pay for all the remaining contract works.
As a result, the City requested ACI to provide justifications for the cost increase beyond the new contract amount from CO #3. After
reviewing ACT's provided cost increase justifications, the City contended that ACI was partially responsible for causing the additional
cost increase. ACI disagreed with the City's contention. After months of further monitoring of the actual project cost increase, and
negotiations between City project staff and ACI, another compromise has been reached between the parties. This new compromise is
herein documented in this CO #4.
In this CO #4, the City and ACI have mutually agreed to work collaboratively to physically complete the project within 6 weeks after the
utility conversion works were completed by all utility companies. The City also agrees to a reduction of the 14% markup rate
(previously generated from CO #3) to 12.5%, of the actual overall cost of construction. The 12.5% markup is to compensate ACI's
general and administrative overhead cost, and profit.
The actual overall cost of this 40th — 42nd Avenue South Phase 3 Project refers to all the direct expenditures spent by ACI on this
particular construction project, includes the mobilization/field overhead cost, but excludes the indirect overhead cost. However, for
costs incurred after the date of this CO #4, if the expenditure was caused by ACI's own negligence, such expenditure will not be
counted as part of the actual project costs to be paid by the City, and ACI will remain fully responsible for such expenditures. As for all
the subcontracts among ACI and its subcontractors, this CO #4 will not apply to any subcontracts executed prior to the execution of
CO #3, and all the corresponding Bid Items paying for these subcontracts. The City will just continue to pay for these subcontract
costs and with the new 12.5% markup. As a result, the existing payment mechanism among ACI and it's current subcontractors will
continue to be preserved. After the execution of CO #4, all new subcontracts among ACI and it's future subcontractors will be
subjected to the new 12.5% mark-up as the subcontractors' direct costs.
ACT's actual cost for this 40th — 42nd Avenue South Phase 3 Project will continue to be subject to a detailed review monthly before the
issuance of the monthly pay estimate for such work, and before the issuance of the final payment by the City. At the option of the City,
the actual cost reviews and verifications may continue to be conducted by a Certified Public Accountant or other City of Tukwila
designated representatives. The current projected total cost for ACI to complete this 40th — 42nd Avenue South Phase 3 Project is
$9,773,008.01, per the enclosed projected cost breakdown provided by ACI. Adding 12.5% to the projected cost of $9,773,008.01, it
would result in $10,994,634.01 as the cost.
Both the City and ACI agree that after the execution of this CO #4, the City's construction management team will continue to have the
option of determining the means and methods of ACI in constructing this project.
The execution of this CO #4 supercedes the previous COs #1 and #2 on the payment and bid item parts, but the scope issues and
Contract time increase will remain in effect. This CO #4 also supercedes CO #3 on all applicable and conflicting Contract terms and
conditions.
Both the City and ACI agree that mutual execution of this CO #4 continues to resolve any and all outstanding disputes between the
parties relating to the Project, including any claims for prior delays, and ACI and the City hereby release each other from any such
claims. Both the City and ACI agree not to pursue legal action against each others if both parties strictly abide by the terms of this CO
#4. The parties agree to continue to discuss and negotiate when necessary, in order to resolve any additional Contract disputes that
arise after the execution of this CO #4.

The City looks forward to continuing to work with ACI to complete this important project.
CONTRACT TIME
Per CO #3, the Contract time was to expire on November 13, 2018, CO #4 will add 33 working days to this Contract, since
• ACI vacated the project site on November 16, 2018, allowing the utility companies to continue the utility conversion works.
Therefore, between November 13 and 16 of 2018, 3 working days of Contract time extension is needed.
• The construction project will be retroactively suspended starting from November 17, 2018, until the utility conversion works are
completed.
• ACI will have 30 working days to complete all remaining works for the construction project, including all the punch list items.
Therefore, the Contract time will need to be increased by 33 working days total.
As part of this CO #4, the parties agree that the Contract time will not be extended further, with the exception of:
• weather related delays;
• delays encountered that are out of the control of the Contractor or the City;
• and unanticipated changes to the work where extension of Contract time would otherwise be determined in accordance with
Section 1-08 of the WSDOT Standard Specifications, 2016 version.
