Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Smith Roofing and Sheet Metal for the renovation of the 2nd floor stairwell roof and drainage at City Hall, 90 West Broad Street.
The original contract was authorized by Ordinance No. 2556-2014, passed by City Council on November 11, 2014. A modification of the contract is necessary due to unforeseen conditions and to tuckpoint and waterproof both sides of the exterior wall above the stairwell to prevent water from entering the building.
Due to the fact that Smith Roofing and Sheet Metal was awarded the original contract, a modification of the contract is the logical and most expeditious option. 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 as soon as possible to try and avoid typical winter weather. The leaking roof and drainage are affecting the plaster ceiling of the stairwell and have led to restrictions of this stairwell.
Smith Roofing and Sheet Metal Contract Compliance No. 27-0828913, expiration date October 7, 2015.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of this modification is $10,000.00. Sufficient funding is available in the Construction Management Capital Improvement Fund.
