This will require the removal of a portion of the interior wall finishes to perform the work and repair the wall. Total Amount $11,852 Approved Contingency Amount $9,950 Difference ($1,902) Although the City Manager is authorized to approve Change Orders up to $25,000, there are insufficient fimds in the project budget to process Change Order #3. Consequently an additional appropriation for $1,902 from the Unallocated Reserves is needed.

The proposal for Change Order #3 was received by Staff after Agenda was posted for the November 19, 2002 City Council meeting. Since the project is currently under .construction, Staff is seeking City Council approval on this item as to not further delay this project.
