The change in contract includes the following:
Quantity adjustment for Type A, Type B, and Type BB inlets due to the replacement of 39 existing brick-constructed inlets, which are deemed structurally unstable, as requested by the Precinct within the proposed project area.
• The increase in quantities on line item numbers 4, 7, 15, and 32 for an addition in the amount of $81,688.00
New Line Items:
• Add a new line item “Inlet (Precast) (Type B, Standard Depth, Traffic Rated)”, for an additional amount of $135,277.44.

An additional 15 calendar days are added to accommodate the replacement of 39 inlets, which is considered an additional scope of work.
