Work on the project began immediately in August 2018, and is anticipated to be complete in February 2019. The pool facility has remained open during construction through the use of temporary trailer-contained locker rooms and shower facilities. DISCUSSION The remodel project is nearing completion. However, remodeling of the existing building facility has proven to be more difficult than anticipated. There have been five change orders to date, totaling $73,272. This change order work included some City requested additional work, such as replacing water softeners and relocating drinking fountains. It also included some unforeseen work, such as installation of all-new venting for the outdoor shower plumbing. However, the largest change expense to date, $53,751 of the $73,272, was associated with the demolition of the building interior floors. The plans, based upon the original as-builts drawing for the 1996/97 facility, showed the floors to be approximately five-inches thick. It was also expected based upon the as-builts that all electrical conduit, water supply plumbing and waste drain plumbing would be buried in the earth below the slab. Instead, the concrete slab was much thicker, and all conduit and plumbing was located within the bottom of the slab and was therefore destroyed during the concrete demolition. This not only required all these facilities to be reconstructed, it also significantly slowed demolition. The water lines within the slab provided water to other parts of the facility, causing the need to carefully demolish around the pipelines in order to keep the pool facility operational. With the $73,272 in change orders to date, the remaining contingency balance is $26,713 ($99,985 - $73,272). However, there are still additional work items that have been identified that will also need to be accomplished by change order to complete the remodel. The costs have not been negotiated and finalized with the contractor, but are briefly described and estimated in the following table: Item of Work Estimated Cost Change interior lights from surface-mounted to recessed $25,000 can lights to avoid vandalism issues. New drywall and paint on all ceilings throughout the locker $30,000 rooms— this improvement should have been included in original design to be consistent with the specified level of finishes as the existing ceilings are old and have been patched multiple times. Upgrade access panels for shower valves — manufacture $3,500 stainless steel plates, beveled edges, neoprene gaskets. The hot/cold water mixer valves on each metered shower valve were shown to be located within the wall and inaccessible for maintenance. Page 3of5
