Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department modify an existing contract with Setterlin Building Company to provide construction services associated with the Cultural Arts Center Renovations 2025 Project. The modification amount being authorized by this ordinance is $110,306.55.
During the construction of improvements at the Cultural Arts Center, it was discovered that additional services are needed to improve the emergency and life safety mechanisms at the facility. The additional work will specifically include an additional door operator, facility signage, and an upgraded fire alarm system
The original project completion date of the project was April 26, 2026. The modified project completion date, as a result of the proposed modification, will be December 31, 2026.
Amount of Additional Funds: $110,306.55

How The Price For The Additional Services Was Determined: The pricing was requested from the contractor and reviewed with the project manager, department stakeholders, and the architect of record.
