Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with 2K General Company for the Apparatus Bay Slab Remediation project for the Division of Fire.
Ordinance No. 1134-2015, passed by City Council on May 13, 2105, authorized the original contract for the Apparatus Bay Slab Remediation project. Though a radar scan was conducted initially conduits containing electrical and fire alarm wiring were cut during slab demolition at Fire Station 13 and must be repaired. Additionally, an existing water line is leaking at Fire Station 16, the water line must be replaced and rerouted.
2K General Company has institutional knowledge of the project. The most practical and cost effective solution for the coordination and continuity of the project is to modify the agreement with 2K General Company so that the conduit issue and the water line work can be completed in a timely manner. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Emergency action is requested to initiate these repairs at the earliest practical opportunity. It is necessary to make these conduit and water line repairs in order to complete the apparatus bay slab renovation projects at Fire Stations 13 and 16.
2K General Company Contract Compliance No. 31-1653018, expiration date June 17, 2016.
Fiscal Impact: This ordinance authorizes a contract modification in the amount of $44,772.56 with 2K General Company for the repair of apparatus bay floors at Fire Stations 13 and 16 using Public Safety capital funds.
This is the first modification of this contract. The original contract amount with 2K General Company was $110,490.00. The total contract amount following this modification will be $155,262.56.
