Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify and increase a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with 2K General Company, in the amount of $110,000.00 for additional fencing, a gate system, and building and site security installations to accommodate operational needs for Precincts 8 and 16, 333 West Town Street. Ordinance No. 1737-2007, passed November 11, 2007, authorized various builidng renovations to prepare 333 West Town for Precincts 8 and 16. The renovations to 333 West Town Street allowed Precinct 16 to move from a leased property and Precinct 8 moved within its own boundary. This ordinance will provide improved security and accommodations for the operational needs of Precincts 8 and 16.

Due to budget constraints, fencing, a gate system, and security installations were omitted from the original specifications; however, the Division of Police has deemed the security measures as necessary safety and operational needs. Due to the fact that 2K General Company was awarded the original contract, a modification with 2K General Company is the logical and most expeditious option for addressing the security installations. Involving another general contractor at this point would lead to logistical problems and the liklihood of errors. Therefore, it would not be in the best interests of the City to bid the additional fencing, gate system, building, and site security installations.

EMERGENCY ACTION is requested to accommodate safety and operational needs for Precincts 8 and 16, thereby providing necessary safety services to City residents.

FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of this contract was authorized by Ordinance No. 1737-2007, passed on November 11, 2007, in the amount of $686,790.00. This modification is for $110,000.00, thereby increasing the total contract to $796,790.00. The Division of Police will provide funding for this project, from the Safety Voted Bond Fund.
