Explanation
BACKGROUND: Ordinance numbers 2074-2007 and 0233-2008 authorized the Director of the Department of Development to enter into a contract with Thompson Building Associates (cc # 31-1020606) to provide services to 879 E. Long Street ("The Edna Building") for a total amount of $199,000. The City entered into a contract with Thompson Building Associates for $149,000 to remove the deteriorated roof structure and building debris, shore the structure, provide environmental testing, abate asbestos hazards, prepare construction documents for roof reconstruction, and secure the building. Staff selected the firm due to their experience with emergency restoration of fire and flood damaged buildings. The reconstruction of the roof was not included in the current contract to allow an opportunity to examine different design options. The contractor provided the City with three alternative designs, including two designs that incorporated a gable style roof system, a less expensive option, and one that replicates the existing structure. After consultation with the Historic Preservation Office, Staff selected the option that most closely matches the existing roof structure. All contracts reflect prevailing rate of wages under Chapter 4115 of the Ohio Revised Code. The result is a contract increase of $105,000, a total modified contract amount of $304,000.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds for this contract are in the 2008 Capital Improvement Budget and are allocated from the Department of Development, Northland and Other Acquisitions Fund. A transfer is needed between projects to provide adequate funds for this contract amendment.
