Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Palmetto Construction Services, LLC. for the renovation of the CTV Columbus Government Television Studio at City Hall, 90 West Broad Street.
After the asbestos abatement process was competed, the city building inspector required the existing original skylights be removed and a 1 hour fire rated ceiling be installed throughout the studio, studio control room and all the CTV office suites. The asbestos ceiling plaster, that was removed, originally provided the 1 hour fire rating that was required. The original skylights are constructed with combustible material and cannot be left in-place. A modification of the contract is necessary to provide funding for the removal of the original skylights and installation of a 1 hour rated ceiling structure in the studio and office suites of the CTV Columbus Government Television Studio.
It is practical and cost effective for the coordination and continuity of the project to use Palmetto Construction Group, LLC. for this modification. Selecting another consultant could lead to duplicated work and delays. Therefore it is not in the best interest of the City to select another contractor for these services. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Emergency action is requested to ensure that the necessary purchase order for services is established in a timely manner.
Palmetto Construction Services, LLC. Contract Compliance No. 27-2790089, expiration date February 5, 2015.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of this project is $160,000.00. Funding is available in the Construction Management Capital Improvement Fund.
