Explanation

BACKGROUND:

This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to modify and increase by $290,000 the Office of Construction Management's contract (authorized by Ordinance No. 0848-2007, passed 06/11/2007 in the amount of $1,369,832.00) with Allen Ballew General Contractors for renovation of the interior offices at the Jerry Hammond Center, 1111 East Broad Street. This modification is the result of additional scope revisions, calling for additional security upgrades to the entire 1111 East Broad Street site, as a result of a security audit. At the time of the original bid, it was believed that the current security system in the building was sufficient. However, the security audit highlighted various changes needed as a result of the new uses for this building. The security upgrades shall include, but are not limited to: interior security mainframe integration with life safety systems and exterior lighting, cameras, and fencing alterations. It would not be in the City's best interest to bid this work. Allen Ballew General Contractors is already performing renovation work in the building and to invite another company to conduct renovations at the same time would lead to inefficiencies and potential confusion.

This ordinance also authorizes the transfer of $102,082.00 between projects within the Information Services Fund and amends the 2007 Capital Improvements Budget, Ordinance No. 0733-2007, to reflect the expenditure of this project.

Emergency action is requested to allow the necessary upgrades to be performed while the other renovations are underway, thereby providing a safe and secure building for the existing and future tenants and visitors of the Jerry Hammond Center, 1111 East Broad Street.
