SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title

SUMMARY:
On March 7, 2024, the Council approved a proposal from Construction Manager at Risk, Khors Construction, Inc. of Thonotosassa, FL, in the amount of $138,326.38 for repairs and mitigation of dock ramp, docks and pilings damaged by Hurricane Idalia at the Clearwater Community Sailing Center.
Khors Construction Company was on site making repairs to the docks and pilings damaged by Hurricane Idalia when Tropical Cyclone Debby came through and caused additional damage to the ADA floating dock requiring the removal and replacement of a broken piling.
The marine contractor that was hired to do the original work was still on site, and could make the additional repairs before they had to move the barge to another job site on November 6, 2024.
On August 26, 2024, the City Manager approved the additional work and the increase of $27,424.87 to the purchase order with Khors to avoid not only delaying repairs to the ADA floating dock by three to four months but also repairing the dock before additional damage could occur, ultimately saving the city increased costs.

This purchase order will be expensed in Parks and Recreation cost code 0101802-530100-D2401, Professional Services. Parks and Recreation is funded by General Fund revenues; however, reimbursement from FEMA is anticipated.
