5. Summary
As of 6/15/2017, ORT is now operational at six out of the nine B&T facilities.
Alternate program delivery methods (i.e. Design Build and informal Integrated Project delivery) are being utilized to successfully deliver the ORT program in a timely and efficient manner.
Contract modifications to ongoing and competitively procured capital contracts have enabled expeditious implementation with minimal impacts to the base contract schedules.
The current change control process continues to enable fair and reasonable pricing of construction change orders negotiated to date.
B&T continues to be on target to achieve completion of ORT implementation at the remaining three facilities (Verrazano Narrows, Throgs Neck and Bronx Whitestone Bridges).
In summary,
To date, contract modifications to existing major contracts have been successful in implementing ORT with minimal impacts to the base contract schedule
Informal Integrated Project Delivery methods of implementing the change orders for ORT is successful in maximizing efficiencies and minimizing cost growth on change orders.
Negotiated prices to date indicate that change control measures have been effective in insuring fair and reasonable pricing of construction change orders negotiated to date.
