| | | | | | | | Background:
RECOMMENDATION:
Enact an ordinance appropriating $750,000.00 to the Construction Contract with The Gonzalez Group, LP for the Restrooms Renovation Project at William P. Hobby Airport (HOU). (Project No. 209)
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION:
On July 22, 2020, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2020-635, approving a Construction Contract with The Gonzalez Group, LP for the Restrooms Renovation Project at William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) in the amount of $2,878,320.60.
City Council appropriated funds for this contract as follows:
$2,573,021.00 Construction Services
$ 257,302.10 10% Contingency
$ 47,997.50 Engineering & Testing
$2,878,320.60 TOTAL
The Construction scope elements of this project include the sequential renovation of two sets of restrooms located near Gates 40-43 and 45-47, respectively, in the HOU Terminal Building. Construction commenced September 14, 2020 and is 29% complete.
After completion of demolition for the first set of restrooms, a number of unforeseen changes were needed, including the removal of existing structural steel hangars; replacement of corroded steel studs and floor track; exterior glass replacement and glazing; chilled water, heating system, and fire protection piping relocation; partial wall re-design; and vent line reroutes. Approximately 95% of the original appropriated project contingency has already been exhausted, with the second set of restrooms remaining to be done.
Pursuant to HOU’s potential qualification for the coveted 5-Star Airport status and in the interest of expedited delivery so as not to impact the traveling public during the holiday travel season, it is now requested that City Council approve an additional appropriation in the sum of $750,000.00 to the project contingency for the unforeseen scope elements described above.
M/WBE Participation:
The M/WBE goal for this project is 38% (22% MBE, 16% WBE). The Gonzalez Group, LP has committed to performing 46.6% participation and is currently achieving 24.67% toward the goal. The HAS Office of Business Opportunity will continue to monitor this agreement and is confident the goal will be met by the contractor.
CIP Fiscal Note:
No significant Fiscal Operating impact is anticipated as a result of this project.
