Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management for renovation of the 120 West Gay Street Building, commonly referred to as the Old Central Police Building.
The original contract was authorized by Ordinance No. 0830-2011, passed June 8, 2011, authorized the renovation of the 120 West Gay Street Building. Due to unforeseen issues, Messer Construction Company was required to complete substantial work not anticipated in the original scope. During this work, Messer Construction Company expended a portion of the contingency in the contract and a portion of the coordination/administration allowance. This modification will provide for the replacement of that contingency and contract coordination/administration allowance.
Messer Construction Company has institutional knowledge of the project and performed the original renovations. It is practical and cost effective for the coordination and continuity of the project to use them for this modification. Therefore, it would not be in the best interest of the City to re-bid the renovations. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Emergency action is requested so that the contingency on this contract may be reimbursed as quickly as possible, thereby ensuring that work on the 120 West Gay Street Building is not delayed due to a lack of funding, and provides Columbus residents services.
Messer Construction Company Contract Compliance No. 31-0740877, expiration date July 14, 2014.
Fiscal Impact: The amount of the original contract was $31,693,000.00. This modification will cost $406,940.00, bringing the total cost of this contract to $32,099,940.00. Funding is contingent upon the July 2012 bond sale.
