SUMMARY:
On September 17, 2020, Council approved the award of RFQ 40-20, Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Services for Continuing Contracts to thirteen firms with Khors Construction, Inc., being one of the thirteen firms selected.
The Clearwater Beach Recreation Center provides recreational opportunities for residents and visitors of Clearwater. The outdoor deck attached to the Center offers waterfront views of the surrounding intercoastal waterway and is a frequented venue for special events such as receptions and weddings. The current condition of the deck both structurally and in appearance requires extensive renovations.
This proposal includes the removal of the existing deck and the design/build of a new deck. The design will incorporate additional structural components that will make the deck and railings stronger.
At the direction of City Council, staff received additional pricing for the alternative construction of select components of the deck, including swapping wooden balusters for stainless steel Atlantis cable, hardware, and additional grab bars at an increased cost of $13,204.29. Staff is recommending approval of the alternate construction options for enhanced longevity and appearance of the deck components.
This is a 90-day contract which will begin in June 2022 and will be completed by September 2022.
