Contract No. 144-CC10 – MOVING OF RELOCATABLE BUILDINGS, is for the
moving and installation of relocatable buildings, for Maintenance Operations,
during the term of the contract, effective June 21, 2005, through June 19,
2006. This supplemental award is requested based on relocatable moves required
by the Modular Program. During this contract period, Maintenance Operations has
averaged five classroom moves per month, requiring new steps and ramps,
averaging a monthly expenditure of $78,221. The original contract amount was
based on estimated moves during a moratorium on portable relocation. However,
the current capital construction schedule requires relocation of portables as
well as those in poor condition. Therefore, the estimated amount for the
modular relocatable program has increased, and the supplement is required. This
supplemental award is requested based on the average monthly expenditure, times
the balance of the contract period.
