District Attorney
DA 1 - Status Report/Updates

District Engineer
DE  1  -	Consider Change Order #3 between the District and Sisca Construction Services, LLC related to the Administrative Building

Mr. Pickle presented the item, indicating that this was the final change order to the original contract for construction of the administrative building and included allowances for items that might come up during construction as well as other defined elements of the project. As a result, a balance of $34,950.49 remains in the Sisca contract. This amount reflects payment of $541.25 to the City of Port St. Lucie for a fence permit fee that had not been included in the final payment application.  Mr. Pickle went on to explain, if approved, Change Order #3 will reduce the overall contract amount by $34,950.49 and allow the contract with Sisca to be closed.

There was no discussion regarding this item.
