Title
Authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute Change Order No. 8 to Bid No. 2021-048, 117 West Main Renovation, to accommodate changes required to install the kitchen exhaust duct, provide surface walkway from Main Street to Front Street and landscaping along the patio in the amount of $11,408.69.
Body
This change order is to accommodate the increased costs associated with modifying the wooden truss and installing a steel post in the wall for additional support to allow the kitchen exhaust duct to be routed to the roof, including larger gauge wire and two 30 ampere breakers for the exhaust fans.
This change order also accounts for increases in steel prices for the fencing around the outdoor patio and installation of an exit only gate with panic bar to meet Americans with Disabilities Act regulations as well as landscaping around the patio.
On March 1, 2021, the City Council approved Bid No. 2021-048 in the amount of $478,248.72 for the interior renovation of the City-owned building located at 117 West Main Street for the purpose of preparing it for Alejandro’s at Front Street Station restaurant. Since that time there have been seven prior change orders totaling $71,190.61 for steel posts and beam framework, upgrading spiral duct, an exit walkway, a steel threshold at the patio door, safety bollard installation, and installation of engineered trusses.
Change Order No. 8, in the amount of $11,408.69, requires City Council approval since the total accumulated change order amount of $82,599.30 exceeds the City Manager approval amount of $50,000.00.
Financial Implications
This project is funded by Towne Centre TIRZ No. Two and has sufficient funding to accommodate all change orders, bringing the total revised contract budget to $560,848.02.
Recommended/Desired Action
Staff recommends approval of Change Order No. 8.
