Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with 2K General Company, Inc. for the Adventure Center Roof and Canopy Construction Project. The contract amount is $1,195,000.00, with a contingency of $50,000.00, for a total of $1,245,000.00. An additional $3,500.00 is being authorized for prevailing wage coordination, permitting, and inspection through the Department of Public Service for a total of $1,248,500.00 being authorized by this ordinance.
The Adventure Center, located in Franklin Park, was originally an athletic complex that was improved for use by AmeriFlora and is currently used by the Department’s Therapeutic Recreation Section, offering programming that is modified to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. The anticipated scope of improvements includes replacement of the existing entry canopy, which was removed as part of the exterior renovations contract, installation of a new standing seam metal roof with support framing of the existing roof, installation of lighting improvements, and implementation of drainage improvements. It was the intent of the department to bid the roof and canopy separately from the exterior renovations to avoid general contractor mark up on items of work that can be performed independently by a roofing contractor.
