Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract with Decker Construction for the renovation of the site at 1393 East Broad Street. Ordinance 1782-2007, passed November 28, 2007, authorized the renovation of 1393 East Broad Street, including exterior and interior improvements to the building and to the site by addressing projects such as site grading, site utilities, site paving, site fencing, a small entrance addition to the building, and new HVAC equipment and distribution This modfication will allow for additional concrete walks, ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) ramps, and paving providing necessary site improvements to the facility. The need for ADA ramps was not apparent at the beginning of the project.
Because Decker Construction had already completed a large proportion of the renovation work, it was determined to be impractical to select another firm to complete the work. This would have resulted in inefficiencies and potential confusion in the project.
Emergency action is requested to provide necessary ADA improvements to the facility, thereby ensuring the safety of the patrons of this building.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of this contract was authorized by Ordinance Number 1782-2007, passed November 28, 2007, in the amount of $193,870.00. This modification is for $39,560.00, thereby increasing the total contract to $233,430.00. Funding is available from the Construction Management Capital Improvement Fund.
