SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title
Approve Change Order 1 to Paramount Painting and Services, Inc of Tampa, FL, for East WRF RDT Building Repair (18-0016-UT) in the amount of $72,145, increasing the contract from $59,435 to $131,580, and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same. (consent)
Body
SUMMARY:
A concrete floor slab at the East WRF RDT building has deteriorated to a level requiring repairs. The City engaged an EOR to assist with repair documents and solicit bids.
January 15, 2020, City Manager approved a construction contract to Paramount Painting & Services, Inc for structural restoration in the amount of $59,435.
During the time between the publicly advertised on-site pre-bid meeting and the issuance of Notice to Proceed to the low bidder, the structure experienced significant accelerated deterioration.
Although this is a sizable change order, staff recommends approval. This change order will enable the timely placement of bracing to prevent additional structural deterioration and ensure safety. Addressing the repairs now will minimize costs of potential increasing repairs, while conserving staff resources for a more successful and efficient project outcome. The unit prices for the additional work including concrete repair, shoring, and stucco rehab, are fair and reasonable when compared to recent projects from 2017 and 2020.
