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 the renovation of 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 Approximately 275 existing parking spaces located around City Hall, 109 North Front Street, and Ludlow Alley will be permanently lost when the renovation of the former Central Safety Building begins. This renovation will allow the City to provide convenient, safe, and secure replacement parking to support its core operations. When complete the garage will provide approximately 400 parking spaces.

A modification of this contract is necessary due to unforeseen structural deterioration of the parking garage. 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 would not allow for its occupancy as planned. Unit prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification. Additionally, monies are included to install proper cabling and connections to the Facilities Management Security Office.

Emergency action is requested as it is immediately necessary to continue renovation work of the garage, thereby allowing for full occupancy of the garage in compliance with the City's timeline for consolidation.

Lithko Restoration Technologies, LLC Contract Compliance No. 01-0817704, expiration date January 20, 2012.

Fiscal Impact: The cost of this contract is $160,593.00. The current unencumbered cash balance in the Construction Management Capital Improvement Fund, Gov'l B.A.B.'s - Building Evaluatio...
