Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with General Maintenance & Engineering for the renovation of the roof and masonry for the Division of Police, Substation No. 5, 1371 Cleveland Avenue.
The original contract was authorized by Ordinance No. 1164-2010, passed July 28, 2010, in the amount of $281,993.00. The original contract authorized the removal of the existing roofing system, installation of the modified bitumen system, masonry, mold abatement, window demolition, minor carpentry, drywall, painting, and installation of carpet and floor tile.
This modification is necessary due to unforeseen water penetration remediation and anchoring for exterior masonry. Due to the fact that General Maintenance & Engineering was awarded the original contract, a modification with General Maintenance & Engineering is the logical and most expeditious option. It is not be in the best interest of the City to re-bid this contract as we would likely have to pay additional monies for contractor mobilization and some current renovations would need to be stopped until a new contract is established. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Emergency Action is requested so that the roof and masonry renovation can occur immediately.
General Maintenance & Engineering Contract Compliance No. 31-4188545, expiration date May 19, 2012.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of this modification is $138,298.00. This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $138,298.00 from the Safety Voted Bond Fund, where there are sufficient funds to cover this expense. The original contract was $281,993.00. With this modification, the total cost of this contract will be $420,291.00.
