Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Thomas & Marker Construction Company for pavement repairs at the Impound Lot, 2700 Impound Lot Road.
Ordinance No. 1187-2009, passed September 22, 2009, authorized the original contract for construction of the new Impound Lot for the Division of Police and the Parking Violations Bureau. This contract modification is necessary because the previous surface utilized cannot withstand the heavy traffic along the traffic lane. The project shall include the removal of the existing recycled asphalt to installation of compacted concrete, fine grading, roller compacted concrete survey, and testing.
Due to the fact, that Thomas & Marker Construction Company was awarded the original contract; a modification with Thomas & Marker Construction Company is the logical and most expeditious option for addressing the pavement failure. Therefore, it would not be in the best interest of the City to bid for said services. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Emergency action is requested to enable the contractor to complete this project during good weather.
Thomas & Marker Construction Company Contract Compliance No. 34-4476858, expiration date March 5, 2012.
Fiscal Impact: Funding is available in the Safety Voted Bond Fund, Police Facility Renovation Project. The cost of this contract is $170,000.00.
