506 July 9, 1996 "Construction has recently been completed on the new Churchland Fire Station at Rivershore Road and Cedar Lane. The original contract was for construction of the building only. The site work for the facility was planned as a future separate bid. However, as a result of a favorable cost from the contractor, the site work was added to the building contract and constituted a 21% increase to the orig~Lnal contract amount. With additional change orders totaling 9%, the final total for change orders (30%) will exceed the 25% limit. Additional funding, however, is not required as the project is within the original budget. I, therefore, recommend City Council's approval to exceed the 25% allowable limit on change orders." Motion by Mr. Pitts, and seconded by Mr. Clemons, to exceed the 25% allowable limit on change orders pertaining to the new Churchland Fire Station, and was adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Benn, Clemons, Griffin, Martin, Pitts, Robinett, Holley Nays: None NEW BUSINESS 96-248 Boards and Commissions There were no appointments. 96-249 - Items Submitted by Council Members Councilman Pitts requested another work session on the toll booths for Pinners Point Connector.
