HomeMy WebLinkAbout4.9 - 2534 Increase Contract Change Order Authorizatio Page 1 of 4 STAFF REPORT CITY COUNCIL DATE: April 2, 2019 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: Christopher L. Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Increase Contract Change Order Authorization, for Public Safety Complex – Police Services Building (Project No. GI0116) and Dublin Boulevard Widening (Project No. ST1012) Prepared by: Michael Boitnott, Capital Improvement Program Manager EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City Council will consider increasing the contract change order authority for the City Manager in relation to two projects - the Public Safety Complex and the Dublin Boulevard Widening Project. For the Public Safety Complex, Sausal Corporation needs to make additional structural upgrades necessary to bring the building up to “essential faci lity” status and related improvements, as well as add project scope to replace the existing parking lot, and install a 180 kVA solar voltaic system on top of the police vehicle carports. For the Dublin Boulevard Widening Project, Granite Construction Company needs to repave and install video detection at the intersection of Dublin Boulevard and Dougherty Road and install street lighting along the Dublin Sports Grounds parking lot. Additionally, emergency pavement repairs on Village Parkway by Granite were made at the City's request and along with reimbursable improvements for Zayo Communications. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Contract Change Orders with Sausal Corporation, for the Public Safety Complex - Police Services Building, CIP No. GI0116; and, adopt the Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute Contract Change Orders with Granite Construction Company for the Dublin Boulevard Widening Project, CIP No. ST1012. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Sufficient funds are available in the respective project budgets for the proposed increases in the Contract Change Order authorization for the added project scope. DESCRIPTION: Page 2 of 4 Public Safety Complex On February 6, 2018, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Sausal Corporation, with a total not to exceed amount of $16,811,740 including a construction contingency, Resolution 14-18 (Attachment 3) for the Public Safety Complex - Police Services Building, CIP No. GI0116. At the same time, the City Cou ncil authorized the City Manager, or his designee, to approve project contract change orders, based on appropriated project funds, up to the contingency amount of $1,528,340. The project provides for the demolition of three existing buildings, renovation and reconstruction of two buildings, and associated site improvements to accommodate current and future Dublin Police Services office space needs. The Public Safety Complex also houses the Alameda County Fire Department Administrative Offices and will also serve as the City’s Emergency Operation Center (EOC). During construction, the City conducted an evaluation by a structural engineer to evaluate the existing building and it was determined that several structural upgrades , which were believed to have been completed in 2013, to bring the building up to “essential facility” status were not made. At this time the structural upgrades need to be completed prior to occupancy by Dublin Police Services and opening the new EOC. Staff has been working with the general contractor, Sausal Corporation to price and implement a contract change order to complete the necessary “essential facility” improvements and upgrades and to minimize delay in moving Dublin Police Services to the Public Safety Complex at an estimated cost of $1,400,000. The necessary improvements also require the Alameda County Fire Administrati ve Offices be vacated in order to bring the building, which will be shared by Dublin Police Services, up to “essential facility” status. When the project was originally bid and awarded, Fire Administration was planned to occupy their offices and their side of the site during construction. While Fire Administration is out of the building, it is advantageous to reconstruct the portion of the parking lot that is used by Fire Administration. The estimated cost of reconstructing the Fire Administration parking lot is included in the estimated cost stated above of $1,400,000. With this proposed change order, Staff is also recommending adding the installation of a 180kVA solar photovoltaic system on top of the police vehicle carports to reduce future power bills. The carport structures within the existing contract were designed to allow for convenient installation of a solar photovoltaic system. The cost for add ing a solar photovoltaic system to the carports and integrating it with the buildings electrical system would increase the contract amount by an approximate cost of $600,000. Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute contract change orders for the additional project scope with Sausal Corporation, at an additional cost of $2,000,000, which increases the total project contingency to $3,528,340 and increases the not to exceed contract total to $18,811,740. Page 3 of 4 Dublin Boulevard Widening On July 17, 2018, the City Council awarded a construction contract to Granite Construction Company with a total not to exceed amount of $6,253,454 including a construction contingency, Resolution 94-18 (Attachment 4) for the Dublin Boulevard Widening Project, CIP No. ST1012. At the same time, the City Council authorized the City Manager, or his designee, to approve project contract change orders, based on appropriated project funds, up to the contingency amount of $575,000. The project provides for the widening of Dublin Boulevard to six travel lanes between Sierra Court/Civic Plaza and Dublin Court; the addition of bicycle lanes on both sides of Dublin Boulevard; intersection improvements at both Sierra and Dublin Courts; new sidewalk on both sides of the street including a pedestrian bridge over a drainage channel east of Dublin Sports Grounds; landscape improvements, including the replacement of the existing street trees plus additional street trees; and bus shelter relocation. Late last year, a segment of Village Parkway between Amador Valley Boulevard and the City limits was approaching unsafe conditions because of ground subsidence. Staff directed Granite Construction Company to proceed with emergency repairs while Dublin Unified School District was on winter break to minimize impacts to the public. These repairs cost approximately $235,000. In addition to the Village Parkway pavement repairs, Staff is recommending a contract change order to expand the project scope of the Dublin Boulevard Widening Project to include pavement resurfacing and installation of video detection at the intersection of Dublin Boulevard and Dougherty Road and installation of street lighting along the Dublin Sports Grounds parking lot and achieve an economy of scale with a larger project. These improvements have an estimated cost of approximately $265,000. While the City’s Contractor was constructing the Dublin Boulevard improvements, there were improvements being constructed concurrently by Zayo Communication to relocate their utilities out of the way of the new road alignment. Zayo Communication was unable to complete the necessary improvements without delaying the City’s contractor, therefore Zayo Communication agreed to have the City’s Contractor construct the improvements, to prevent the project from being delayed , and to reimburse the City for the cost to complete the improvement. The cost of the Zayo Communication improvements is approximately $25,000. Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute contract change orders for the additional project scope with Granite Construction Company, at an additional cost of $525,000, which increases the total project contingency to $1,100,000.00 and increases the not to exceed contract total to $6,778,454.00.
