ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: From: Subject: Adopt the Resolution, Fundina Funds in the amount of $120,000 are available from the 1995 Parks Bond Interest Fund, ANALYSIS: On September 10, 2001, the City issued an Invitation to Bid for the construction of the North Shore Park and Youth Center. The Collage Companies (TCC) was declared to be the "lowest and best bidder", but their Total Base Bid Price well exceeded the budgeted amount allocated towards the construction scope. As permitted in Section 2-367 ofthe City Code, on October 17, 2001, the Mayor and the City Commission adopted Resolution 2001- 24652, approving and authorizing the City Manager or his designee to negotiate a contract with The Collage Companies, Following a series of Value Engineering sessions, the parties agreed to a construction price in the amount of $6,176,296 that reflected the available funding for the Project. To achieve this Contract Amount, a decision was made to reduce the Project's Contingency from 10% to 4.3% or $330,073 and use the balance of the Contingency to fund the Contract amount. In addition, several items were value engineered from the scope, including the shuffleboard courts, 4 of the 12 tennis courts, 3 baseball field dugouts, welded metal lockers, interior wood doors, stucco finish for the exterior elevations, and wood flooring for the basketball court and dance room. To allow an early occupancy by the public, the project was divided into three different phases as follows: 1. Phase I: Baseball/softball fields with alternates to construct a concession field house, tot lot and basketball court. While the alternates were not approved initially, the Commission Memorandum North Shore Park and Youth Center Appropriation to complete Construction Scope May 26, 2004 Page 2 of 3 concession field house and tot lot have subsequently been awarded additional funding and will be built separately. 2. Phase II: Tennis Center, tennis courts, shuffleboard courts, practice court, and maintenance building. 3. Phase III: A new 2-story Youth Center, Gymnasium, and Entry Plaza. Additional funds were appropriated at a later date for the Project and some of the value engineered items were added back into the Project Scope. To date, Change Orders in the amount of $807,238, have been approved, almost completely exhausting the Project's Contingency. In order to close out the Project, there are some additional items that were required during the final inspection process, to allow the opening of the buildings. These items have not been negotiated with TCC yet. The following is a list of those pending expenses necessary for closing the Project, for which prices need to be negotiated with TCC: Installation of 26 Additional Scuppers at Youth Center - Requested by Building Additional Fire Sprinklers at Youth Center - Requested by Fire Department Additional Hand Railing at Youth Center West Entrance- Requested by Building Cane protection at Tennis Center Water Fountain - Requested by Building Additional fire dampers at the Youth Center- Requested by Fire Department Convert Room 136 from a storage room to an Elevator Room - Requested by Building Doors and Fire extinguishers for Room 136 - Requested by Fire Department Elevator Machine Room Additional Electrical costs - Requested by Fire Department Glass Railings at Teen Room- Requested by Fire Department Steps edge at Stage - Requested by Building Access Panels for Men's Room Rm.114 - Requested by Building Replace 7 light fixtures in Teen Room - Requested by Building Replace 7 light fixtures in Janitor's Closet Rm. 123/223 - Requested by Building Unforeseen Closeout Requirements Additional Installation of an AlC Unit at the Public Bathrooms at Tennis Center The above items are mostly related to normal issues that are raised by regulatory agencies during the final inspections of any construction project. These issues are difficult to identify during construction and often are clearly understood only when projects are close to completion where installations become more evident. Some items are additions to the scope of the project that the City has requested, but which were never part of the program or of the construction documents, such as the additional air conditioning for the Tennis Center Restrooms. Some items are omissions on the part of the consultant which will be addressed after closeout and before final payment to the consultant is made if it is determined that compensation to the City is in order in accordance to contract requirements and obligations. This evaluation will be made by CIP at the end of the Commission Memorandum North Shore Park and Youth Center Appropriation to complete Construction Scope May 26, 2004 Page 3 of 3 project. The estimated value of these items is $120,000. CONCLUSION: The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the Resolution to appropriate $120,000 for these items to close out Phases I, II, and II of the Project.
