While the Contractor was excavating to install the storm drainage related to the parking lot paving, they encountered soil that has a gasoline odor and appears to have an oily sheen. At this point work is stopped and the Contractor has to send his crew home due to safety concerns. After reviewing some records with an environmental consultant, and consulting with the Owner, it is discovered that an abandoned gasoline storage tank is buried beneath the older parking lot. Current State regulations require that the underground fuel storage tank has to be removed and disposed of. Furthermore, all of the contaminated soil has to be excavated and disposed at a licensed disposal facility. This work has to be performed immediately on a change order basis. The scope of work of the change order will include the following: Delay Claim: The Contractor has to be compensated for the delay in the work, because he/she had to pay the crew for two days while the research into the cause of the contaminated soil was determined. The crew consisted of the following: - Two Equipment Operators - One Laborer Foreman - Three Laborer Journeymen - The Contractor hired an environmental consultant to perform soil sampling. A total of 25 samples were taken at cost of $400 per sample. As far as materials, the Contractor also had to purchase: - 30 rolls of plastic sheeting at $10 per roll to cover the stockpiled soil. - 125 hay bales for soil erosion at $5.00 per bale - 300 linear feet of silt fence at $2.00 per foot. Removal work: The area of contaminated soil measures 40 -feet by 50 -feet by 15 -feet deep. The disposal facility charges a fee of $125 per ton to dispose of the contaminated soil. A cubic yard of soil is 1.5 tons per cubic yard. All of the excavated material has to be replaced with Dense Graded Aggregate at a material cost of $25 per cubic yard including delivery. Additionally, the Contractor has to rent dump trucks at a monthly rental cost of $15,000 and operating cost of $12 per hour to transport the soil to the disposal facility. Each truck holds 25 tons and can make to two trips per day. The Contractor hires two trucks per day and the truck drivers are paid a wage of $52.35 per hour. The Contractor hired a subcontractor to remove the underground storage tank itself at a lump sum of $15,000. The Contractor used the following crew to excavate the contaminated soil and place the clean fill. - Three Equipment Operators - One Laborer Foreman for a total of 80 hours - Four laborer Journeymen worked for a total of 80 hours The Equipment Operators man-hours will be based upon the hours that the heavy equipment was operated. The following heavy equipment was utilized: - Kobelco SK295LC Track Mounted Excavator-80Hrs (company-owned) - Deere 724K Front End Loader - 80Hrs (company-owned) - Roller Compactor-56Hrs (Monthly Rental \$12,000 and Operating Cost \$12.50 per hour) Additional Notes: - You will need to calculate the volume of contaminated soil, clean fill, cost of subcontractors, equipment rental, materials and labor associated with this change order. By Contract, the Contractor is permitted to charge 10% overhead and 15% profit on Materials and Labor of his own forces. 10% profit on all equipment and all subcontractors, no overhead can be applied. - Labor rates are either included herein or listed in the spreadsheet included.
