Council Approves US Customs Facility Change Orders

On August 27, 2019, the Addison City Council approved a contract with JC Commercial, Inc. for the construction of the U.S Customs and Border Protection and Airport Administration facility at Addison Airport in the amount of $6,223,949. 

At its August 11 meeting, Council approved a change order to the project. Change Order #2 included items totaling $141,881.10 that were not anticipated or known at the time of the original contract including additional concrete pier depths for the building foundation and changes in the erection of steel for the elevator, among others. Staff determined that it was prudent, efficient, and effective to address these issues as part of the on-going work:

Change Order #1, which approved a cost increase of $22,215.16, included North Texas Tollway Authority irrigation modifications, an Oncor utility relocation, the installation of bollards around the Customs and Border Protection generators, and the removal of an abandoned water line. Change order #1 was not taken to Council because the amount was less than $50,000 and less than 25% of the contract price.
