Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to modify a professional services contract with JL Bender Inc., for the renovation of various kitchens for the Fire Division. This contract was originally authorized by Ordinance 0488-01, which passed Council on March 19, 2001. It was modified by Ordinance 2169-01, which passed Council on December 10, 2001. The current modification is the consequence of a time delay that necessitated upgrades to design plans and specifications to comply with code changes, updating the equipment to the latest models, and converting several stations to standing seam metal roofs. The original renovation was to take before now, but was delayed due to a lack of capital funds.
The renovation costs is estimated at $800,080.00. Construction is expected to begin some time in early January 2005.
Emergency action is requested so that the final design modifications can be completed and bids can be received before the end of 2004. .
Fiscal Impact: The Fire Division did not budget for this contract modification in the 2004 Capital Improvement Budget. The Fire Division will reduce the costs of the Fire Station #15 roof renovation project by installing a modified roof instead of a standing seam roof.
The original contract amount for the renovations of various kitchens was $69,800.00. The first contract modification was for $80,000. The cost of this contract modification is $30,000.00.
