RESOLUTION # 035-2008
CHANGE ORDER #5
TO THE JPS CONSTRUCTION, INC. CONCERNING THE
WELL #5/#7 PROJECT
WELL #3 STRUCTURAL UPGRADES

WHEREAS, the Mayor and Town Council of the Town of Hammonton, County of Atlantic, State of New Jersey authorized a construction contract to JPS Construction on February 27, 2006 in the amount of $671,000.00; and
WHEREAS, after the contract was awarded, issues regarding the placement of said well were discussed with SJ Gas Company who have the responsibility of performing a site remediation project; and
WHEREAS, the discussions between the Town and SJ Gas resulted in a mutually agreeable decision to relocate the proposed Well #7 from the Lincoln Avenue site to that of the Well #5 site located on 14th Street; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of agreeing to relocating the well involved the practicality of avoiding the Town’s construction effort from becoming in conflict with SJ Gas’s future remediation activity; and
WHEREAS, due to the change of location regarding the placement of Well #7 from the Lincoln Street Complex to the 14th Street site, the Town authorized Change Order #1 on April 23, 2007 in the net amount of $68,891.10, to increase the project from $671,000.00 to $739,891.10; and
WHEREAS, with the relocation of Well #7 from the Lincoln Street Complex to the 14th Street site, the Town still remain desirous of improving certain facilities and equipment at the Lincoln Street complex that was part of the original contract and remained so with Change Order #1; and
WHEREAS, on July 9, 2007, the Town issued Change Order #2 to JPS Construction in the amount of $7,000.00 to address additional roof repairs to the operations building at the Lincoln Street Complex; and
WHEREAS, on July 23, 2007, the Town issued Change Order #3 to JPS Construction in the amount of $48,732.00 to address electrical upgrades at the Well #5 site; and
WHEREAS, on November 19, 2007, the Town issued Change Order #4 to JPS Construction in the amount of $30,537.00 to address various structural upgrades at the Lincoln Street complex; and
WHEREAS, due to the several scope changes regarding this complex, certain misunderstandings concerning the ultimate approved scope arose; and
WHEREAS, following implementation of Change Order #4 which involved installation a new roof at the Well #3 facility, the expectations of the Town officials regarding Change Order #4 were different than what was approved as it relates to the roof line, windows, ceiling and doors; and
WHEREAS, in addition to the desire to fully address the needs of the water operations as it relates to Well #3, including aesthetics and structural enhancements not covered under Change Order #4, other unforeseen site conditions arose during the negotiations on the Well #3 facility; and
WHEREAS, the unforeseen site conditions are listed fully outlined in the attached change order form; and
WHEREAS, to offset the expense of said unforeseen site conditions, certain improvements not yet constructed at the Well #7 site, also a part of this overall project, were reviewed for the practicality of elimination to minimize added expense; and
WHEREAS, the Well #3 structural modifications (A frame roof, ceiling, door and windows) at the Lincoln Street complex will involve an increase to the existing JPS Construction contract, notwithstanding the net change order evaluation of the unforeseen site conditions offset by the Well #7 scope reduction; and
WHEREAS, the net structural changes also as detailed in the change order form attached hereto are in the net amount of $19,050.00; and
WHEREAS, these changes are presented as Change Order #5, entitled Well #3 Structural Upgrades at the Lincoln Street complex; and
WHEREAS, after reviewing the issues and expense of proposed Change Order #5, the Public Works and Transportation Committee is recommending to the General Council approval of same; and
WHEREAS, the issuance of this change order will prove beneficial to the reliability of the Town’s Water System operations and promote the health of safety of its residents; and
WHEREAS, JPS Construction has been previously awarded Change Orders #1 - #4 throughout the contract that surpassed the 20% maximum threshold; and
WHEREAS, the issuance of the previous Change Orders #1 - #4 coupled with Change Order #5 places the contract at 26% above the original bid; and
WHEREAS, the Public Contracts Law requires a procedure to be followed in the event the 20% is exceeded; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with N.J.A.C. 5:30-11.9 Provisions for Change Orders Which Exceed 20% Limitations, the law requires that the 20% threshold could be exceeded when unforeseen conditions are combined with a situation that renders an execution of a new contract as an unreasonable interference with the efficient completion of the work; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Town of Hammonton will be issuing JPS Construction Change Order #5 in the amount of $19,050.00 and when added together with the previously issued Change Orders #1 - #4 ($155,160.00) will exceed the 20% limit raising the total change order value above the original bid to $174,210.00 for the following reasons:
• The Contractor is currently mobilized and to address these items outside the scope of this project will ultimately cost the Town of Hammonton additional funds.
• Avoids the need to issue a new contract that will consequently increase the cost of the structural repairs contemplated under Change Order #5.
• In the case of the Lincoln Street complex, the existing structures to be modified and reconstructed are in excess of 80 years old.
• Although a new roof was proposed for the Well #3 pump house, the type of roof, the windows, doors and ceiling warranted a reconsideration of the repairs to said facilities contemplated under Change Order #4.
• It was determined that the existing structures will most likely require attention at some point in the near future.
• After further review of the necessary structural repairs, it became apparent that a comprehensive upgrade of the Well #3 facility would be more economical for the long term operation of the Water Department.
• The unforeseen conditions at the Lincoln Street complex would have resulted in a higher change order value if not offset by scope reduction at the Well #5/#7 complex, thus minimizing the overall value of Change Order #5; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Town of Hammonton has performed the following legal requirements:
1. By the adoption of this resolution, the Town has assured that the issuance of the composite value of Change Orders #1-#5 is under Public Contracts Subchapter and is proper and allowable.
2. This resolution is passed prior to execution of the change order.
3. Print in the authorized newspaper a copy of the resolution including the amount to be expended, the original contract price and the need for the additional work.
4. Said actions must be reported in the annual audit. On or before the last day of February, the Clerk shall report to the Division of Local Government Services all changes from the preceding year that exceeded the 20% limitation. This report shall be made on a form provided by the Division of Local Government Services.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Town of Hammonton has authorized Change Order #5 in the total amount of $19,050.00 subject to the certificate of availability of funds from the CFO.
Approved by the Mayor and Town Council of the Town of Hammonton on February 25, 2008.

RESOLUTION #173-2007
CHANGE ORDER #4
TO THE JPS CONSTRUCTION, INC. CONCERNING THE WELL #7 PROJECT – STRUCTURAL UPGRADES

WHEREAS, the Mayor and Town Council of the Town of Hammonton, County of Atlantic, State of New Jersey authorized a construction contract to JPS Construction on February 27, 2006 in the amount of $671,000.00; and
WHEREAS, after the contract was awarded, issues regarding the placement of said well were discussed with SJ Gas Company who have the responsibility of performing a site remediation project; and
WHEREAS, the discussions between the Town and SJ Gas resulted in a mutually agreeable decision to relocate the proposed Well #7 from the Lincoln Avenue site to that of the Well #5 site located on 14th Street; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of agreeing to relocating the well involved the practicality of avoiding the Town’s construction effort from becoming in conflict with SJ Gas’s future remediation activity; and
WHEREAS, due to the change of location regarding the placement of Well #7 from the Lincoln Street Complex to the 14th Street site, the Town authorized Change Order #1 on April 23, 2007 in the net amount of $68,891.10, to increase the project from $671,000.00 to $739,891.10; and
WHEREAS, with the relocation of Well #7 from the Lincoln Street Complex to the 14th Street site, the Town still remain desirous of improving certain facilities and equipment at the Lincoln Street complex that was part of the original contract and remained so with Change Order #1; and
WHEREAS, on July 9, 2007, the Town issued Change Order #2 to JPS Construction in the amount of $7,000.00 to address additional roof repairs to the operations building at the Lincoln Street Complex; and
WHEREAS, on July 23, 2007, the Town issued Change Order #3 to JPS Construction in the amount of $48,732.00 to address electrical upgrades at the Well #5 site; and
WHEREAS, the Water and Sewer Subcommittee have reviewed additional issues involving the construction activity at the Lincoln Street Complex; and
WHEREAS, certain improvements to the Well #3 pump house and the chemical building at the Lincoln Street Complex caused the Water and Sewer Subcommittee to reevaluate the most efficient means of upgrading the facilities; and
WHEREAS, due to age and structural deficiencies at both the Well #3 pump house and the chemical building at the Lincoln Street complex, it was determined that it would be in the Town’s best interest to rehabilitate each facility using the existing structure; and
WHEREAS, the structural modifications at the Lincoln Street complex will involve an increase to the existing JPS Construction contract; and
WHEREAS, the structural changes also as detailed in correspondence from Adams, Rehmann & Heggan dated October 31, 2007 are in the net amount of $30,537.00; and
WHEREAS, these changes are presented as Change Order #4, entitled Structural Modifications at the Lincoln Street complex; and
WHEREAS, after reviewing the issues and expense of proposed Change Order #4, the Water and Sewer Subcommittee is recommending to the General Council approval of same; and
WHEREAS, the issuance of this change order will prove beneficial to the reliability Town’s Water System operations and promote the health of safety of its residents; and
WHEREAS, JPS Construction has been previously awarded Change Orders #1 - #3 throughout the contract that begin to approach the 20% maximum threshold; and
WHEREAS, the issuance of the previous Change Orders #1 - #3 coupled with Change Order #4 places the contract at 23.1% above the original bid; and
WHEREAS, the Public Contracts Law requires a procedure to be followed in the event the 20% is exceeded; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with N.J.A.C. 5:30-11.9 Provisions for Change Orders Which Exceed 20% Limitations, the law requires that the 20% threshold could be exceeded when unforeseen conditions are combined with a situation that renders an execution of a new contract as an unreasonable interference with the efficient completion of the work; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Town of Hammonton will be issuing JPS Construction Change Order #4 in the amount of $30,537.00 and when added together with the previously issued Change Orders #1 - #3 ($124,623.00) will exceed the 20% limit raising the total change order value above the original bid to $155,160.00 for the following reasons:
• The Contractor is currently mobilized and to address these items outside the scope of this project will ultimately cost the Town of Hammonton additional funds.
• Avoids the need to issue a new contract that will consequently increase the cost of the structural repairs contemplated under Change Order #4.
• In the case of the Lincoln Street complex, the existing structures to be modified and reconstructed are in excess of 80 years old.
• Although new roofs were proposed for the Well #3 pump house and Chemical Building, the windows, doors and certain structural problems warranted a reconsideration of the repairs to said facilities.
• It was determined that the existing structures will most likely require attention at some point in the near future.

1. By the adoption of this resolution, the Town has assured that the issuance of the composite value of Change Orders #1-#4 is under Public Contracts Subchapter and is proper and allowable.

3. Print in the authorized newspaper a copy of the resolution including the amount to be expended, the original contract price and the need for the additional work.

NOTICE OF FINDINGS AND PUBLIC EXPLANATION
CONCERNING PROPOSED FLOODPLAIN DEVELOPEMNT

TOWN OF HAMMONTON
2008 SMALL CITIES PROGRAM

In accordance with the provisions of the US Water Resources Council’s Flood Plain Management Guidelines for Implementing Executive Order 11988 (43 CFR 6030) the Town of Hammonton announces its findings and intent to proceed with the project described below:
2008 Community Development Block Grant funds will be used for creation of a Senior Center at Hammonton Lake Park. This activity includes the expansion and renovation of the existing Town Recreation Building for conversion to a Senior Center.
Explanation: The Town of Hammonton has completed an evaluation concerning potential impacts on the floodplain and possible alternative actions. The conclusion was that while the site is located in the 100 Year Flood Plain the overall expansion of the building will not create a significantly greater foot print. No other sites or actions were available that would allow the Town to provide acceptable Senior facilities with adequate space and accessibility.
Alternatives considered were choosing another location and the alternative of no action. The Town could not identify another publicly owned site that was accessible and cost effective. The second was found to be impractical as No Action will prevent the Town from addressing the social, educational, health and nutritional needs of the Senior population of Hammonton.
The proposed activities conform to applicable State and Local Flood Plain Protection Standards and are appropriate for the criteria of the National Flood Insurance Program.
Because the project is local in nature, publication of this Notice in a newspaper of local circulation has been determined to be appropriate. Upon publication and circulation of the Notice of Findings and Public Explanation, written comments will be received at the address below for a period of 7 days. Comments should be received on or before October 11, 2007.
The creation of a Senior Center at the Town Recreation Building on Hammonton Lake will cause negligible infringement upon the 100 year Flood Plain, and the Town of Hammonton has concluded that the above referenced public improvements will not result in new or adverse effects on the natural or beneficial flood plain values.
In addition to notifying the general public, the following agencies and groups have been requested to comment on flood plain issues as they relate to this project:
