To approve an increase to the current contract amount of $5,309,630 by $533,081, for a total contract amount of $5,842,711, for the Davis Library - Joint Use Facility Expansion and Renovation, Project No. 7079, from Pogue Construction Co., LP; and authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary documents.  (Contract No. 2020-0040-B; Change Order No. 2) Approved

Through the CMAR RFQ 2020-0040-B process and City Council approval of an expenditure of $5,271,047 on March 22, 2021, Pogue Construction Co., LP was awarded a contract for the renovations of Davis Library and Joint Use Facility.

On May 20, 2021, the contract to Pogue Construction Co., LP received Change Order 1 in the amount of $38,583 increasing the current contract total to $5,309,630.

Change Order No. 2 in the amount of $533,081 is for additional improvements to the Hardy Room and public restrooms in the Joint Use Facility.  The Hardy Room and public restroom foundations are in need of repair due to movement in the floor.  The Hardy Room and public restrooms are currently budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2022 Capital Maintenance Fund.  However, due to the current construction at the facility, the City will see a schedule and costs savings by adding it to the current project.  Doing these improvements now will also remove any additional future disruptions to the facilities and public use.

If this agenda item is not approved, the floors of both the Hardy Room and the public restrooms will continue to drop causing further damage to the facility and cause probable shut down of the facility as the pipes underneath the restrooms continue to degrade.

Funding for this item is available in the 2021-22 Capital Maintenance Fund.  The second change order to the contract for construction services on the Joint Use Facility, in the total estimated amount of $533,081, will leave a current year balance of $140,479 for further expenditures at the facility. 

Approval of this item will support the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor of being an Excellent, Innovative, and Accountable City Government.
