Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with The Righter Company for the renovation of the Central Safety Building 9th floor louver wall at 120 Marconi Boulevard. The repair is necessary due to insufficient support to the southwest louver wall on the 9th floor of the Central Safety Building. The existing louver supports have been weakened by the movement of the louver due to years of wind pressure. Renovation of the connection points of the louver is required to eliminate any safety concern. Structural steel will be utilized to secure the existing louver to the existing structural elements of the building to inhibit any further movement. This renovation will enhance the overall structural integrity and will provide longevity of the structure.
Formal bids were solicited and two companies submitted a bid on May 10, 2013 as follows (0 FBE, 0 MBE):
The Righter Company $40,950.00
Berglund Construction $96,820.00
The Office of Construction Management recommends the bid award be made to the most responsive and responsible bidder, The Righter Company.
Emergency action is requested to meet the operational needs of the Division of Police as quickly as possible, thereby eliminating potential safety hazards to City employees and users of the facility.
The Righter Company Contract Compliance No. 31-0889208, expiration date January 7, 2015.
