Explanation
Background: This ordinance will authorize a modification to Contract No. EL006976 for additional construction services with Hopewell Constructors, Inc., related to the Whetstone Recreation Center Improvements Project. The project includes renovation of the existing Whetstone Recreation Center as well as the addition of a new community room. Unforseen changes and utility issues have necessitated a contract extension resulting in this modification.
Changes include connection requirements by Columbia Gas and external issues by the City of Columbus, Division of Electricity; building items such as flooring under layment, plumbing issues discovered during demolition that required additional work to meet code requirements, roof substrate that was discovered during demolition that needed to be removed, undocumented asbestos removal, window detail modifications to allow for new window installation and stairwell modifications to meet fire code. All of these items required additional time and work by the contractor which delayed the project.
The amount of this modification is $186,319.94 bringing the total modified contract cost to $5,777,089.50.
The Contract Compliance Number for Hopewell Constructors, Inc., is #31-1472318 and the expiration date is 11/30/08.
Emergency legislation is requested to allow work to be completed as soon as possible in order to be ready for an early September re-dedication.
Fiscal Impact: $186,319.94 is required and budgeted in the 1999/2004 Recreation and Parks Voted Bond Fund to meet the financial obligation of this contract modification.
