Discussion and possible action to approve the use of the contingency allowance #016 as stipulated under §4.3 (allowances) under the construction agreement between Webb County and Stoddard Enterprises, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $12,775.00 for electrical conduit replacement, for the Webb County Dean Senator Judith Zaffirini Justice Center Building Envelope Roof Project and to further authorize the Webb County Judge to sign any relevant documents; and any other matters incident thereto. [Account #1001-1130-001-470000 (Capital Outlay)] Issue: Conduit was imbedded in concrete and was not able to be saved, therefore, the electrical conduit has to be replaced. Solution: Consideration to authorize the use of $12,775.00 from the owner's contingency allowance funds. With this CAA #16, moving forward, we have corrected the Contingency Allowance to reflect the original amount, and credited the $40.70 from CAA #011 within the Contingency Allowance balance in lieu of increasing the Contingency Allowance. Result: If approved, the Contractor will be authorized to use the owner's contingency amount as approved by Commissioners Court. There will be no increase or decrease to the original contract sum.
