Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Facilities Management Division with ProCon Professional Construction Services, Inc. for concrete restoration at City Hall, 90 West Broad Street.
Ordinance No. 1450-2012, passed July 30, 2012, authorized a contract for the removal of deteriorating concrete and the installation of new concrete at the Front Street entrance to City Hall as well as the area in front of the Christopher Columbus Statue at the south side of City Hall. During the removal of the surface concrete at the Front Street entrance, concrete spalling and deterioration was determined to be more extensive than anticipated. Additionally, instead of using a water resistant material as originally specified, the contractor will instead use a waterproof membrane.
Due to the fact that ProCon Professional Construction Services, Inc. was awarded the original contract, a contract modification is the logical and most expeditious option for addressing the additional concrete work. It is practical and cost effective for coordination and continuity to modify this contract with ProCon Professional Construction Services, Inc. It would not be in the best interests of the City to go with another vendor.
Emergency action is requested to so that the concrete work can be completed during favorable weather and to remedy this concrete deterioration so that visitors and employees can safely access City Hall and the surrounding grounds.
ProCon Professional Construction Services, Inc. Contract Compliance No. 31-1701026, expiration date May 31, 2014.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of the originalcontact was $30,000.00. The cost of this modification is $35,975.25, bringing the total contract cost to $65,975.25. Funding is available in the Construction Management Capital Improvement Fund.
