Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance amends the 2006 Capital Improvement Budget and authorizes the transfer of $40,000.00 from the Fire Station 35 (Waggoner Road) Project to the Fire Station 18 (Cleveland Avenue) Project for the modification of the construction contract for Fire Station 18. This ordinance also authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract for the Facilities Management Division with Gutknecht Construction Company, Inc., for the construction of Fire Station 18 at 1628 Cleveland Avenue. The original contract was authorized in the amount of $4,289,100.00 by Ordinance 1195-2004, passed July 21, 2004. The modification is necessary due to unforeseen circumstances surrounding relocation of overhead utilities. The costs for the utilities relocation were charged by SBC to Gutknecht Construction and were $65,609.00 more than estimated at the time of the bid. Gutknecht requested a change order in that amount per AIA 207 Article 4.7 Claims for Concealed or Unknown Conditions. Through discussion with the Fire Division, Gutknecht and the Fire Division agreed to a $40,000.00 change order.
EMERGENCY ACTION is requested so that Gutknecht can be reimbursed for costs already incurred due to the utilities relocation.
FISCAL IMPACT: The $40,000.00 necessary for this modification will be transferred from the Fire Station 35 Project. The total cost of the original project was $4,289,100.00. With this modification, the total cost is $4,329,100.00. Contract compliance # 31-0935568, expiration date 09/24/2007.
