RECOMMENDATION: Appropriate additional funds for construction.
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: On December 19, 2018, Ordinance No. 2018-1018, City Council awarded a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) contract to Times Construction, Inc., to provide pre-construction and construction phase services for renovations of spaces at 611 Walker and 2805 McKinney Street, and appropriated $7,346,000.00 for pre-construction and construction phase services.
PROJECT LOCATION: 2805 McKinney Street, Houston, TX 77002
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Levels 2 and 3 of the 2805 McKinney Street building are being renovated to accommodate the 3-1-1 Call Center, currently housed at 611 Walker, Level 5. As the design phase developed, it was determined that the existing HVAC system on Level 2 required replacement and the initial budget was insufficient to cover the interior build-out and inground detention for the parking lot renovation. The requested additional funding will cover the costs associated with this scope of work. Therefore, the General Services Department recommends that City Council appropriate an additional $1,733,331.00 to the CMAR contract with Times Construction, Inc. to fully fund the construction phase of the project.
FUNDING SUMMARY:
$1,575,756.00 Estimated Construction Cost (Estimate)
$ 157,575.00 10% Contingency (Estimate)
$1,733,331.00 Total Estimated Contract Services
CIP FISCAL NOTE: No significant Fiscal Operating impact is anticipated as a result of this project.
Capital Project Information: See the attached Form A for a breakdown of capital costs.
