We contracted with Carr, Riggs, and Ingram LLC to perform this closeout construction audit because it was a large project with a budget of over $23 million. Renew Atlanta, which provided $17 million of the funding, designated the project as high risk. The Department of Parks and Recreation administered the project.
Carr, Riggs, and Ingram LLC found:
- Change directives increased the total contract by $1,372,119 to a final value of $24,472,119.
- Fourteen of eighteen change directives were missing at least some supporting documentation of either subcontractor costs or the Design Builder's markups.
- The builder's risk certificate of insurance contained a limit of $23,100,000 (the original contract value). As the change order increased the final value of the contract, the builder's risk coverage should have increased. The Design Builder did not provide an updated certificated but stated that "the policy automatically increases."
- Backup documentation to substantiate mobilization costs, as required by the contract, was not required by the city and mobilization costs were not separately approved.
