Scheltinga r � ATTACH A COPY OF ALL RELEVANT DATA BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM/ISSUE: RBD, Inc. is designing 6/23B which is being replaced through a grant from the Federal Bridge Rehabilitation and Replacement Program, which is administered by the Colorado Department of Highways. When this project began RBD was directed to design a bridge that would pass the 100-year storm and could be constructed within the existing Weld County right-of-way. Through the preliminary design process, which has taken several months, the Colorado Department of Highways determined the proper design condition was for the 25-year flood. This lowered the requirement for the structure and RBD, Inc. was directed to change the design to a concrete box culvert. Also, with the construction of this type it was not possible to keep the construction within the existing right-of-way without violating slope and width requirements. Throughout this process, RBD, Inc. was required to make numerous changes which were beyond the normal scope of preliminary design. RBD, Inc. ' s request is for a change order to cover additional services in the amount of $3,900. WHAT OPTIONS EXIST FOR THE BOARD? Approve a change order for RBD, Inc. in the amount of $3,900.00 or deny the request. 880283 Work Session - RBD, Inc. Page 2 RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD: I agree with the decisions to scale down this project from a bridge to a concrete box culvert. There will be a substantial savings in the construction cost. Some of these decisions are difficult to anticipate until all the information during the preliminary design is gathered. Because the configuration of the structure was changed and because the decision to acquire right-of-way was made, I agree with RBD, Inc. 's request.
