Title
A Resolution authorizing a change order to the "New Public Safety Building Project" contract with the Weitz Company, LLC, pursuant to Section 2-764(b), Approval of change orders and contract modifications, in the amount of $1,370,787.
Body
On August 29, 2017, The City Commission accepted the recommendation to award the Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) contract for the Construction of a New Public Safety Building Project (“the Project”) to The Weitz Company, LLC, the most qualified Proposer.
On September 14, 2017, the City Commission accepted the recommendation to negotiate and execute a Pre-Construction Services Agreement for the Pre-Construction Phase of the Project. On December 6, 2018, the Public Works Department in conjunction with the Procurement Division successfully negotiated a Construction Management Agreement with The Weitz Company, LLC, for the Construction Phase of the Project in the amount of $52,250,000.
This change order includes civil and hardscape items that are being incorporated into the project, site drainage revisions to include the storm drainage infrastructure that will serve the future Parking Garage 7 project, increased redundancy to the building’s uninterruptible power system (UPS), plus other items resulting from unforeseen conditions typical of a project of this size and complexity (see attached schedule of values).
The change order costs submitted by The Weitz Company, LLC have been reviewed and found to be within industry standards. The Public Works Department recommends approval of this request.
