Service after the September flooding relative to (1) reactivation of a study of the
Chartiers Creek Flood Protection Project, Unit 2B; and (2) a reconnaissance study of

REMARKS: Mr. Sember explained that the work included under this Change
Order involves repairing/replacing the back-up retaining wall,
which was not anticipated in the original bid specifications.
He noted that the work will be done at a per unit cost (per
square foot) and will not exceed $31,500.00. Solicitor Bassi
advised that due to the circumstances that exist and the
inability to make an exact determination of the condition of
the back-up retaining wail and the fact that the Change Order
is based on a per unit cost, it was his opinion that this
Change Order was in proper order and that the additional work
would not require bidding.
Moved by Mr. Petrosky, seconded by Mr. Paluso, approving the Change Order
as per above and authorizing the Chairman of the Board to so execute.
