Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to modify an existing contract with Williams Associate Architects Ltd. for the Glenwood and Windsor Swimming Pool Replacement Design Project. The modification amount being authorized by this ordinance is $40,000.00. The original contract was authorized by Ordinance 0940-2021.
The Recreation and Parks Department undertook construction work at both Glenwood and Windsor pools, having them replaced and operating for the 2023 swim season. It was later identified that the water levels at Glenwood Pool were outside the tolerances established in the contract documents. As a result, corrective action is needed to bring the Glenwood Pool into compliance with the contract documents for proper operation from a health and safety perspective.
This second modification is required for the additional services required of the design professional to develop corrective action for the construction contractor. This modification is not expected to exceed $40,000.00. The final cost of this contract modification will be billed on a time and materials basis. These costs will be recovered from the construction contractor once the final costs are determined. It was not anticipated at the time this contract was started that additional services would be necessary due to the corrective actions needed at this facility. A separate procurement process would be detrimental to the project as it is in progress.
