Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Thomas and Marker Construction Company for the construction of a new Fire Station No. 3 at 222 Greenlawn Avenue. Ordinance No. 1653-2013, passed by City Council on July 18, 2013, authorized the original contract for the construction of a new Fire Station No. 3.
A modification of the contract is necessary due to unforeseen site conditions which included unfit soils and contaminated soil, and abandoned underground fuel tank removal.
Thomas and Marker Construction Company has institutional knowledge of the project as it has been performing the construction. It is practical and cost effective for the coordination and continuity of the project to modify this contract so that the Station can be completed and put into operation early next year. Prices already established in the contract were used to determine the cost of this modification.
Emergency action is requested to ensure the construction of the new fire station is not delayed, to meet the operational needs of the Division of Fire, and to provide necessary services to City residents.
Thomas and Marker Construction Company Contract Compliance No. 34-4476858, expiration date January 30, 2016.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of this modification is $77,067.00. A transfer of cash between projects within the Safety Voted Bond Fund is necessary to provide sufficient authority for said project.
