Explanation
This ordinance will authorize the Director of Recreation and Parks to modify the contract with Gaddis & Sons, Inc. for sidewalk repair work at the King Arts Complex.
During the course of their work on the project, the contractor was informed by their structural engineer and the City to lower the steel decking. In order to do this they would need to remove a portion of the structural wall supporting the concrete deck. According to the contractor, these conditions were only made known to them after they had removed the deteriorating sidewalk. Consequently, this work was not included in the scope of the project. Due to the unforeseen condition under the existing sidewalk, the contractor incurred additional expenses which would have been higher if they had needed to remove the marble facing on the exterior of the building. However, this work was necessary in order to repair the sidewalk. The project has exceeded the original contract amount of $43,050.00. The amount of this modification is $7,079.10 bringing the total modified contract cost to $50,129.10.
The Contract Compliance Number for Gaddis & Sons, Inc. is #31-0818065 and the contract compliance is effective through 08/31/09.
