SUBJECT:

CONTRACT INCREASE FOR THE MARY ALICE O�CONNOR FAMILY CENTER, BID SCHEDULE NUMBER R-1190

 

PURPOSE

 

The purpose of this item is to request Agency Board approval to appropriate existing project funds to increase the contract for Bid Schedule No. R-1190, the Mary Alice O�Connor Family Center.   

 

BACKGROUND

 

On August 23, 2005, a contract was awarded to TLD Construction, Inc. (�TLD�) for the rehabilitation of the former Buena Vista Library as a childcare and family resource center.  The awarded contract was in the amount of $2,434,900, with a 10% construction contingency of $243,490, for a total authorization of $2,674,390.   Shortly after commencing construction, the rainy season began and TLD discovered water damage to several areas of the building.  After inspection, it was concluded that years of extensive water leaks had caused structural damage to the building.  In order to address these unanticipated expenses, staff requested an appropriation in the amount of $364,000 during the 2006-2007 budget process.

 

ANALYSIS
Due to the results of the water damage to the interior, exterior and roof, of the former Buena Vista Library building, TLD is required to do additional work outside the original scope.  Additional work includes the installation of drywall, shear wall panels, stucco, metal flashing, roof sheet metal and the replacement of dry-rot and termite infested wood.  In addition, the roof storm drains will be replaced as recommended by the roofing consultant.  The labor and materials to complete the necessary repairs by TLD is approximately $300,000.  Staff is recommending that the Agency apply $300,000 from the 2006-2007 budget appropriation of $364,000 to the contract to cover the unanticipated expenses for a total revised contract of $2,734,900. 

 

CONCLUSION

 

As part of the 2006-2007 budget process, an appropriation of $364,000 was included for the unanticipated construction costs associated with water damage to the building.  The labor and materials for work performed and to be performed by TLD is approximately $300,000.  Staff recommends an increase in the contract in the amount of $300,000 by appropriating existing project funds, for a revised contract amount of $2,734,900.  Staff does not anticipate any other project cost increases and is planning to open the Family Center in January 2007.   

 

FISCAL IMPACT

 

Sufficient funding for the increased contract is available in the Project Account Number 306.CD22A.70004.0000.15653 to complete the project.  

 

RECOMMENDATION 

 

Staff recommends that the Agency Board adopt the proposed resolution approving a contract increase in the amount of $300,000 by appropriating existing project funds to Bid Schedule Number R-1190, the Mary Alice O�Connor Family Center.  The amount of $300,000 will be added to the original contract amount of $2,434,900 for a revised contract amount of $2,734,900.
