| | | | | | | | Background:
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: The General Services Department (GSD) recommends that City Council award a construction contract to Gadberry Construction Company Inc on its low bid amount of $797,700.00 to provide construction services for the Meadowcreek Pavilion for the Houston Parks and Recreation Department.
On June 25, 2014, Ordinance No. 2014-0665, City Council approved an appropriation of $1,155,000.00 out of the Parks Consolidated Construction Fund to the TOC/JOC Contracting Program for FY 2014 for park improvements. Of this amount, $281,743.00 was allocated for improvements to the Meadowcreek Pavilion. After finalizing the scope of work for the project, the construction costs exceeded the TOC/JOC work order limit of $450,000.00; therefore GSD solicited bids for the project. This recommendation will de-appropriate $281,743.00 out of the TOC/JOC Contracting Program for FY 2014 and appropriate an equivalent amount to the construction contract with Gadberry Construction Company Inc for the project.
PROJECT LOCATION: 5333 Berry Creek Drive (Key Map No. 536-S)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project will construct a new pavilion structure and slab to replace the old structure which was deemed unsafe and demolished. It was important to the community that the new structure have a similar architectural style with barrel roof and arched beams. The scope of work also includes lighting, basketball goals, associated drainage and landscaping improvements.
The contract duration for this project is 150 calendar days.
