Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Aggressive Mechanical, Inc. for the renovation of plumbing drains, vent pipes and storm water drainage for the Division of Police Headquarters, 120 Marconi Boulevard.
The original contract for the renovation was authorized by City Council through Ordinance No. 2944-2013, passed by City Council on February 3, 2014. Soon after this project began it was determined that a hot water tank had failed and a second hot water tank is in a significant state of disrepair. A modification of the contract is necessary to replace both of these domestic hot water tanks.
It is practical and cost effective for the coordination and continuity of the project to use Aggressive Mechanical, Inc. for this modification as they are currently working on site and have familiarity with the situation and can mobilize quickly. Selecting another consultant could lead to duplicated work and would likely be considerably more expensive. Therefore it is not in the best interest of the City to select another contractor for these services. Pricing was reviewed and determined to be consistent with aspects of this project.
Emergency action is requested due to potential loss of hot water affecting both tenants and visitors that occupy the building.
Aggressive Mechanical, Inc. Contract Compliance No. 31-1612907, expiration date December 19, 2014.
Fiscal Impact: This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $99,604.00 to modify the contract with Aggressive Mechanical to replace two hot water tanks at the Division of Police Headquarters. Funding is available in the Safety Voted Bond Fund. There is no impact on the General Fund for this ordinance. This legislation is contingent upon the City's 2014 bond sale.
