Recommended Action
Approve the Ninth 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 $37,780, for Hurricane Ian Repairs at Dallas White Park Kayak Launch.
Background Information
As a result of impacts from Hurricane Ian, Dallas White Park suffered damage to the kayak dock and launch as outlined in the Rostan Damage Assessment Report.
In consultation with City Administration, 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 following describes the CMaR process specific to this project:
Ø April 23, 2024: Work Assignment No. 2024-47FM was issued to Wharton Smith, Inc. for Pre-Construction Phase (Phase I) services. During this phase, the Contractor evaluated the work required, obtained quotes from applicable contractors, and developed the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP).
Ø July 17, 2024: Wharton Smith, Inc. submitted a GMP proposal. This Amendment to Contract No. 2023-17.001 presented for approval is for the Construction Phase (Phase II) of the process. The Project Manager with the Department of Public Works provided a direct selection of Wharton Smith, Inc. as the preferred CMaR to carry out the project at Dallas White Park Kayak Launch, and requests approval of this Amendment to proceed to construction.
The Ninth Amendment to Construction Manager at Risk Contract No. 2023-17.001 for Construction Services Contract, Phase II with Wharton Smith, Inc. for Hurricane Ian repairs at Dallas White Park Kayak Launch has been reviewed by the Interim City Attorney and is legally correct as to form.
