ACCEPTANCE OF FIRE STATION -
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends acceptance of work in accordance with Contract No. U/M 92-4, as
complete and requests direction to the City Clerk to have the Notice of Completion
recorded and to release the bonds thirty-five (35) days after recordation.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
In EY88-89 a total of $225,000 was allocated in the General Capital Construction fund
for the renovation of Fire Station No. 2. An architect was hired and a preliminary
design, based upon the program needs at that time, was developed but subsequently
rejected because the construction cost estimate of $350,000 greatly exceeded the
available funding. At the same time, it was discovered that the underground fuel
storage tank would need to be removed at a cost of $11,800.
In FY90-91 a more cost effective alternative approach was identified by City staff to
renovate the station utilizing the remaining funding. The existing footprint of the
facility was to be retained to minimize costs. Utilities and Maintenance would
accomplish the design "in-house" and manage the project by dividing it into several
small contracts. In addition, staff would purchase most of the equipment/material
directly from the distributors. Although resulting in a greater administrative burden,
this approach coupled with extremely favorable market conditions, maximized the
amount of work that could be accomplished with the remaining funding.
On December 10, 1991, the City Council awarded contract No. U/M 92-4, in the
amount of $81,600, to Vincent C. Cramer, General Contractor, for the major portion
of the remodeling work at Fire Station No. 2. Minor change orders amounting to
$7,722 resulted in a total contract amount of $89,322. Additional contracts and
procurements, that did not require Council approval, totaled $1 08,522. These contracts
were for such items as the cabinets/casework, carpeting, systems furniture, fixtures,
appliances, a new diesel exhaust system, a new roof and a complete overhaul of the
communication system. This brought the total project cost, including the preliminary
design and the fuel tank removal, to $229,213. The actual construction took a total
of 122 days from start to finish, is now complete and the General contractor's work is
acceptable to the Utilities and Maintenance Director.
