Original Contract
On August 13, 2024, City Council approved a contract with Pivetta Brothers Construction in the amount of $13,469,491.12 for the Fones Road Improvement Project.
Olympia Municipal Code 3.16.100 states the following:
"The City Manager or the City Manager's designee is authorized to approve change orders with a cumulative total of $350,000 or less for any project. Council approval is required for cumulative change orders totaling over $350,000 for a project, except when such approval is deemed "urgent" by the City Manager. An "urgent" change order is defined as one where delay in implementation could cause environmental or property damage or endanger public safety, as determined by the City Manager. An "urgent" determination may also be made when delays are estimated to cost the City of Olympia $1,000 or more per day."
Change Orders
To date, seven change orders have been approved totaling $330,183.45 or 2.4% of the original contract amount.
The project team has negotiated three additional change orders with Pivetta Brothers Construction. These change orders cover all additional contract costs to date, a delay claim for lost production during underground utility installation, and additional overhead resulting from project delay.
