1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to reestablish funding for various projects on behalf of the Office of Construction Management. The remainder of the funding that was established under these contracts to pay for the work was inadvertently closed before final payment was made.
This legislation reestablishes funding to the original contracts so that the final payments can be made to the contractors. Funding will be reestablished with Cleveland Marble for the Central Safety Building exterior membrane and sealant replacement; Trane U S Inc., for the heating and cooling repairs at 1800 E. 17th Avenue; Gutknecht Construction Company for the demolition and construction of salt storage building at 500 Scherers Court and 1850 East 25th Avenue; and Design Group, Inc. for the John Maloney Health Center.
