Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Charter Hill Construction for the construction of two new storage buildings at the old Police Academy at 2609 McKinley Avenue. Ordinance No. 1648-2013, passed by City Council on July 18, 2013, authorized the original contract for the construction of two new storage buildings.
A modification of the contract is necessary due to unforeseen costs associated with the construction of the two new storage buildings. Specifically removal of some bad soils, additional crane rental expenses necessary lift material into the new structure, a dumpster pad, two more security cameras and call boxes, and some additional contingency reserves.
It is practical and cost effective for the coordination and continuity of the project to use Charter Hill Construction for this modification as they are already under contract and mobilized on site. Selecting another contractor 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.
Emergency action is requested so that the contractor will be able to complete this project during good weather.
Charter Hill Construction, Inc. Contract Compliance No. 31-1244979, expiration date January 28, 2016.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of this modification is $55,000.00. This legislation authorizes the transfer of $2,677.00 between projects within the Safety Voted Bond Fund.
