Explanation
Background:
This ordinance will authorize the Director of Recreation and Parks to modify the contract with The Quandel Group for construction services relative to the Alum Creek Maintenance/Warehouse Facility Project.
The original contract authorized the renovation of 1533 Alum Creek Industrial Drive, West for the Recreation and Parks Department's Maintenance and Warehouse operations. The Quandel Group has requested an increase in the original contract EL007487 due to unforseen circumstances which necessitated a change in the scope and budget.
The original contract in the amount of $2,654,900.00 included a project contingency of $461,885.49 for a total contract amount of $3,116,785.49. The amount of this modification request is $215,795.73 bringing the total modified cost of the contract to $3,332,581.22.
This modification includes the following: changes due to the unstable sub-base under the proposed vehicular storage area; additional costs for truck canopy installation; unforseen mold remediation; additional code requirements for electrical, mechanical, fire and drainage systems that were not anticipated by the architect; and unanticipated utility connection fees.
The Contract Compliance Number for The Quandel Group is #23-2315218 and their Contract Compliance is effective through 11/30/08.
Fiscal Impact:
$215,795.73 has been identified in the 1999/2004 Recreation and Parks Voted Bond Fund to meet the financial obligation of this contract modification.
