Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with Smoot Construction to provide construction management services for the Griggs Boat Launch Improvements Project. The contract amount is $149,900.00, with a contingency of $37,565.00, for a total of $187,465.00 being authorized. This ordinance is in conjunction with Ordinance 2062-2020 that provided the authorization for the construction contract for this project.
The scope of work for the Griggs Boat Launch Improvements Project includes improvements to the boat launch ramps and site improvements. The project scope includes removal and replacement of existing concrete boat launch ramps and abutments. Existing floating docks at each location are to be replaced or refurbished and re-installed. Parking improvements to be made will meet ADA standards. There will also be improvements to sidewalks as well as seeding and mulching improvements. The project is estimated to start construction in October 2020 and is anticipated to be complete in the April 2022. In order to minimize disruption to the park, milestones are included in the bid documents to have Trabue-Murphy ramp substantially complete by May 2021 and Nottingham ramp to be substantially complete by December 2021. Construction management services are needed to manage day-to-day construction demands, inspections, change orders, pay applications, and to confirm the contractor’s work is in conformance with the bid plans.
