Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Lithko Restoration Technologies, LLC for additional floor drains in the 98-102 North Front Street parking garage.
Ordinance No. 1602-2010, passed October 23, 2010, authorized the renovation of the 98-102 North Front Street parking garage for $1,959,060.00. Ordinance No. 0715-2011, passed May 18, 2011, in the amount of $160,953.00, authorized a modification of the contract due to more significant deterioration of some of the decking of the parking garage that was not foreseen during the assessment and design phase.
An additional modification of this contract is necessary for the installation of thirty-five (35) additional floor drains in the parking garage. The floor drains are necessary to alleviate ponding that can potentially cause an ice and/or a slipping safety hazard. Due to the fact Lithko Restoration Technologies, LLC was awarded the original contract, a modification is the most logical and expeditious option to bring this phase of the project to completion. Involving another contractor at this point would delay the project and could cause duplication of work previously performed. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Emergency action is requested so the contractor will be able to complete this project during good weather, thereby eliminating safety hazards to City employees and users of the garage.
Lithko Restoration Technologies, LLC Contract Compliance No. 01-0817704, expiration date January 20, 2012.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of this contract is $54,000.00. A transfer of $54,000.00 is necessary between projects within the Construction Management Capital Improvement Fund.
