TITLE: Approve Third Amendment to Construction Manager at Risk Contract No. 2023-17.001 for Construction Services Contract Phase II with Wharton-Smith, Inc., in the Amount of $282,125.00, for Fire Station 84 Repairs.
Recommended Action
Approve Third Amendment to Construction Manager at Risk Contract No. 2023-17.001 for Construction Services Contract Phase II with Wharton-Smith, Inc., in the amount of $282,125.00, for Fire Station 84 repairs.
Background Information
Due to Hurricane Ian, Fire Station 84 was damaged by wind and water and requires repairs. Staff continue to work with representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, (FEMA), Rostan Solutions, Inc., and the insurance provider, Halliwell, to identify funding availability for reimbursement of this project.
Upon evaluation of the project, the use of the Construction Manager at Risk (CMaR) Continuing Services Contract has been identified as the most expedient path to complete this project. The CMaR Contracting process includes the following two phases:
Ø Phase One: The Contractor is selected and issued a Work Assignment for the pre-construction phase. During this portion of the project, the contractor evaluates the work required, obtains quotes from applicable contractors, and develops the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP).
Ø Phase Two: The Third Amendment to the CMaR Contract No. 2023-17.001 is for the construction phase of the process.
Public Works provided a direct selection of Wharton-Smith, Inc. to Purchasing as the preferred CMaR to perform the necessary repairs at Fire Station 84. Accordingly, staff requests City Commission approval of the Third Amendment to CMaR Contract No. 2023-17.001 for Construction Services Contract Phase II with Wharton-Smith, Inc., in the amount of $282,125.00, for the necessary repairs of Fire Station 84.
The Third Amendment has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office and is legally correct as to form.
