Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council approve Amendment #2 to Contract #20210028 for the rehabilitation/renovation of the Historic Structures at Pioneer Park with New World Builders, Inc.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and approve Amendment #2 to Contract #20210028.
2. Move that the Council not approve Amendment #2 to Contract #20210028 and provide staff with direction.
Background: Since construction began, several field conditions needed to be addressed. Structural issues and ADA compliance issues required correction in the field. Amendment #2 accounts for these changes:
1. Selective demolition revealed structural deficiencies in the new screened porch that required remediation prior to proceeding with the restoration. Total cost is $26,418.60.
2. The exterior door into the Break Room is on the ADA path to provide accessibility. A new door needed to be fabricated as the existing door was missing at the time of the architect’s drawings. New door is $2,604.29.
3. The foundation work during moving of the building left varying gaps between the stem wall and the exterior walls that need to be adjusted. The skirting work is $25,968.23.
4. The roof structure over the carport area is severely compromised by wood rot in the ceiling joists, center beam, diagonal supports, collar ties and roof rafters. Repairs are estimated to not exceed $40,000.00.
5. The condition of the carport cabinet is poor. It was not part of the original structure and required removal. The cost is $0.00.
6. Due to the short lifespan of the new pine for the west porch decking, it is recommended to use Aeratis Traditions decking. The cost is $1,701.03.
7. The additional time for these changes is 228 calendar days for a new end date of January 8, 2024.
Issues/Analysis: Staff has reviewed the proposed change orders and finds them to fair and reasonable.
