(MC-0321001 / WP#U00504)
Scope
Review EC/CM pre-construction and construction billings
Progress
Pre-construction pay apps (1-18)
o Pending reconciliation credit for labor billed for incorrect number of hours due to a calculation error
o Pending reconciliation of electrician labor for individuals not present in the TVB Workplan
Construction pay apps (1-13)
o Issues are resolved as identified. FACT receives Applications for Payment after Port CM has approved.
Examples of Issues Identified
EC Electric utilized a spreadsheet to calculate number of hours to bill for Management Staff. In
two payment applications, the spreadsheet calculated incorrectly the number of hours; therefore
the project was overbilled. Awaiting credit for this item from EC Electric.
EC Electric submitted a TVB Workplan for the preconstruction work. Within this, individuals were
specifically named for positions and rates. EC Electric billed individuals not included on the
workplan at rates that were designated for higher positions (i.e.. Apprentice billed at same rate as
General Foreman)
FACT is awaiting response from Mortenson/EC Electric to further evaluate the appropriateness of
the billings and request credit where applicable.
