� chimney design had some inherent risks associated with excavating a vertical trench into the
. downs�eam slope of the existing dam.
The original cost estimate included an item for construction surveillance in the amount of
$7,912. This number did not include the prepararion of as-built drawings upon complerion of the
project, which is a 5tate Engineer requirement, and underestimated the actual field time required to
complete the project
Added Cost (Change Order Design): $9,200
Added Cost (Const. Surveillance/As-builts): $17,885
Construction Site Access DifficulAies
Due to the unlmown condition of the access road to the reservoir at the time of construction,
the Cedaz Mesa Ditch and Reservoir Company could not obtain a quantified bid to provide a
maintained access road to the construction site. The selected Contractor, however, did negotiate an
hourly rate for the necessary equipment and labor to keep the madway assessable during the
duration of the project. The cost of maintaining the access road during construction was based on
the total equipment and man-hours actually used.
Added Cost: $9,830
