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 Police Precinct 18 had outgrown the facility.
The original contract was authorized by Ordinance No. 1745-2014, passed July 23, 2014, for partial renovation of 1120 Morse Road and was subsequently modified by Ordinance No. 2514-2014, passed November 3, 2014, and again by Ordinance No. 1868-2015, passed July 30, 2015. A modification of the contract is necessary to address unforeseeable conditions that were encountered with the existing plumbing and drainage.
Due to the fact that Palmetto was awarded the original contract, an ongoing modification with Palmetto is the logical and most expeditious option. 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.
Palmetto Construction Services, LLC. Contract Compliance No. 27-2790089
Fiscal Impact: Funding for this contract modification is budgeted and available within the Public Safety G.O. Bond Fund in an amount equal to $16,243.09
