Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with 2K General Company for Phase 2 of the 98-102 North Front Street Parking Garage renovation project.
This contract modification is necessary to expedite the replacement of overhead garage doors and some interior upgrade finishes and equipment that were initially contemplated in the next phase of renovation but are prudent to perform now. The garage doors are old and require more frequent maintenance and repair than originally anticipated. The existing garage doors are extremely heavy and will be replaced with much lighter doors with mechanical systems that are designed to open and close more frequently. The replacement also enhances overall garage security. The storefront area upgrades and equipment are necessary to fully upfit the employee wellness area.
It is practical and cost effective for coordination and continuity to modify this contract with 2K General Company. It would not be in the best interest of the City to select another vendor to complete this work. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Emergency action is requested to replace the doors as soon as possible thereby avoiding potential safety, vehicular, or bodily harm. As the contractor is already mobilized on site, the doors can be replaced more quickly by modifying this contract now.
