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 1120 Morse Road. Ordinance No. 1745-2014, passed July 23, 2014, authorized the original contract for the partial renovation of 1120 Morse Road. Renovation of the facility is necessary to accommodate the relocation of Police Substation No. 18 from 4560 Karl Road to 1120 Morse Road.
A modification of the contract is necessary to renovate the roof at 1120 Morse Road. The roof is beyond its useful life and is in a state of disrepair. 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 enable the contractor to complete this project during good weather.
Palmetto Construction Services, LLC. Contract Compliance No. 27-2790089, expiration date February 5, 2015.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of this modification is $425,000.00. A transfer of cash between projects within the Safety Voted Bond Fund is necessary to provide sufficient authority for said project.
