Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into contract for the Facilities Management Division with Gutknecht Construction Company, in the amount of $2,618,000.00 for the renovation and addition to the McKinley Avenue Police Complex. The renovation will consist of the construction of a new one story masonry, seven bay vehicle storage building, and the renovation of two levels in the existing training academy building, located at 2609 McKinley Avenue, which encompasses general trades floors, walls, ceilings, general finishes, and upgrades to the plumbing, mechanical, electrical, fire alarm and security systems in those areas. This building is occupied by the Police Division and formerly housed the Police Academy. The purpose of this renovation and construction is to modify and improve the facility for use by the SWAT team, and to allow the relocation of Precinct 1 into space currently occupied by SWAT. This move will reduce the City's current lease obligation to house Precinct 1, and will locate Precinct 1 more centrally within its geographical area of responsibility. The contractor has two hundred forty (240) calendar days upon notification of the award of the contract to complete the project.

Formal proposals were solicited on April 18, 2006. Three firms submitted proposals on May 23, 2006 as follows: (1 AFA*, 1 FBE^).

Contract Compliance Number 31-0935568, exp. 09/24/2007. Hopewell Constructors, Inc. did not have satisfactory experience with similar projects.
