SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title
Ratify and confirm an increase to the original contract (purchase order) ST112387 to JAM 5:20 of Largo, Florida in the amount of $24,895 for a revised authorization of $137,110 for improvements to the Clearwater beach Recreation Center (CBRC).
Body
SUMMARY:
The Council approved the original purchase order in the amount of $112,215 for CBRC during the November 30, 2015 council meeting. The construction process in the main hall of CBRC revealed that the existing substrate beneath the vinyl tile removed was in worse shape than anticipated. The scarification process to remove the existing underlayment proved unsuccessful and the manufacturer of the vapor seal would not warranty the moisture barrier seal to be applied under these conditions.
The only option to permanently fix the floor is to remove the existing concrete floor and re-pour a new concrete floor. This will allow the required vapor barrier to be installed between the soil and new concrete floor.
Authority was given to move forward with the project to adhere to the established construction schedule to allow the CBRC facility to be reopened in time for an event scheduled for March 5, 2016.
