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. Renovation of the facility is necessary to accommodate the relocation of Police Substation No. 18 from 4560 Karl Road to 1120 Morse Road as the Police Precinct 18 had outgrown the facility. Though Precinct 18 will relocate to the 1120 Morse Road facility, Precinct 1 will remain at the Karl Road building.
Ordinance No. 1745-2014, passed July 23, 2014, authorized the original contract for the partial renovation of 1120 Morse Road, and Ordinance No. 2514-201, passed November 3, 2014, modified the contract so the roof could be replaced as it was more significantly deteriorated than initially thought. This second modification of the contract is necessary to replace a severely deteriorated sump pump and drainage within the elevator shaft of 1120 Morse Road. 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 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. 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 so Police Precinct No. 18 can fully utilize the location without fear of plumbing failure.
Palmetto Construction Services, LLC. Contract Compliance No. 27-2790089, expiration date February 5, 2015.
Fiscal Impact: The cost of this modification is $8,434.94. A transfer of cash between projects within the Safety G.O. Bonds Fund is necessary to provide sufficient authority for said project. Sufficient authority for this project is available.
