So basically HALFF's position here is that they can add as much steel as they want to anywhere they want to, at anytime they want to and the contractor isn't due additional money? On
a unit price project?
Seriously?

Eric,
Eric C. is questioning the steel quantities for the RFI changes. He said that some of the steel that they submitted for was in the original plans, but that their calculation of the
weight was off. Since the steel is included with the concrete, the plans state that the contractor is to calculate his own steel quantity and use that for his bid and that the steel
quantity in the plans is for estimating purposes only. Under this condition, Austin does not have the right to request reimbursement of the extra steel above the RFI changes.
Also, check the number of days requested. Eric used their request of 23 days. I believe this is 7 days for this change order and 16 days of delays. Let me know if you have any comments.
Thanks,

Clay,
I've attached a corrected version of Vitruvian Change Order #2 for your use. I separated Item CO2-1 into three parts; two are for the lightning protection at each bridge and the third
is for conduit and conductor at Bella. While I have an appropriate quantity for the length of the irrigation conduit that was added to Bella (201 LF), this item also includes additional
conduit and conductor for lighting circuits. Therefore, I left the unit as LS. I'm concerned that by using the linear quantity I'd be suggesting a unit price that would not be representative
of this item. Feel free to call me to discuss this further.

Eric,
CO2-2 looks good. CO1-1 needs to be broken into components. There was the 2 each lightning protection at $35,402.18 apiece and then the conduit under the bridge at $___ per linear
foot (the total should be $7,579.44 and the # of linear feet from the plans). With these corrections, it looks good to go.
Thanks for your help on this!
