(They were indicated on the architectural drawings.) <br /> Part of the cost for the additional roof drains include an upsizing of the diameter of the rain water leader <br /> which was indicated on the mechanical drawings. Dave Scherbel and the State plumbing reviewer requested <br /> this upsizing. <br /> The roof drains are necessary to make the building perform. They should have been indicated on the <br /> mechanical drawings. We trust that the City's construction contingency can absorb the cost for the roof <br /> drains.The cost to add the drains as a change order item may be slightly higher than if the drains had been <br /> included in the original contractor bids.At issue is how much more the City may be paying for the drains now <br /> than the City would have paid at bid date. We will attempt to identify the cost difference for you,but do not <br /> believe that it is significant. <br /> As we have stated before,we have spent much time during the construction phase of the project <br /> incorporating City requested changes to the project.(e.g.,Guard office,additional private office, reception <br /> counter revisions,etc.). As of this date we have not charged the City for this time. <br />
