on the reduction their total request is for$67,878.00 which is for the installation
of fourteen (14) poured in place spread footings in lieu of the conventional pole
foundations. Due to no easements and conflicts with the water main, FPL
&A$$OCIPIE$ INC. the transmission lines and AT&T fiber optics there is no location that
the pole foundations can be placed in the ROW. Also included is the design fees
Engineers for the spread footings.

RE: Biscayne Blvd Street Lighting Phase IV Project
Mr. Tomei,
Our company is experiencing unforeseen utility conflicts affecting 14 pole locations on Phase
IV. We have exhausted everything we can do;from meeting with the utility companies to
performing soft digs,to physically locating these underground facilities. There are 14 poles in
Phase IV in conflict with AT&T and a water main. Due to the utility conflicts,there is no space
free of utilities to install these 14 poles as per the foundation details on plan sheets El9 and
E20. These poles will require a special shallow spread footer type foundation. There is a
substantial cost difference between the standard foundation detailed on the plans and the special
spread footer type foundation. The costs are as follows:
Construction&Engineering Costs:
• Spread Footer-type foundation$ 5,467.00/ea.
• Credit for Standard foundation($940.00)/ea.
• Difference per foundation$4,527.00/ea.
• Construction Total amount will be 14 X$4,527.00= $63,378.00
• Engineering Fees$4,500.00
• Total Change Order request$67,878.00
We are requesting compensation for the difference between the standard foundation and the
special spread footer type foundation due to the unforeseen conditions. We will also need an
additional 60 calendar days added to the contract for the additional work. Should you have any
questions,please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
