TITLE: Approve the Fifteenth Amendment to Construction Manager at Risk Contract No. 2023-17.002 for Construction Services Contract, Phase II With Halfacre Construction Company in the Amount of $44,017.42, for Hurricane Ian Repairs at Highland Ridge Park.
Recommended Action
Approve the Fifteenth Amendment to Construction Manager at Risk Contract No. 2023-17.002 for Construction Services Contract, Phase II with Halfacre Construction Company in the amount of $44,017.42, for Hurricane Ian Repairs at Highland Ridge Park.
Background Information
As a result of impacts from Hurricane Ian, Highland Ridge Park suffered damage to the playground shade structure supports, as outlined in the Halliwell Construction Services and Rostan Damage Assessment Report. While initial repairs were underway at Highland Ridge Park, Halfacre Construction Company and City staff discovered that the playground shade structure had structural damage that exceeded the scope of repairs covered by the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) allowance awarded as part of the Seventh Amendment to Contract No. 2023-17.002. As a result, the structure needs to be fully replaced to restore the park to its pre-hurricane condition.
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 September 24, 2024: Seventh Amendment to Contract No. 2023-17.002 encompassing Work Assignment No. 2024-08FM was issued to Halfacre Construction Company for the Pre-Construction Phase (Phase I) services. During this phase, the Contractor evaluated the work required, obtained quotes from applicable contractors, and developed the GMP.
Ø February 7, 2025: Halfacre Construction Company submitted a GMP proposal. This Amendment to Contract No. 2023-17.002 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 Halfacre Construction Company as the preferred CMaR to carry out the project at Highland Ridge Park and requests approval of this Amendment to proceed to construction.
The Fifteenth Amendment to Construction Manager at Risk Contract No. 2023-17.002 for Construction Services Contract, Phase II with Halfacre Construction Company for Hurricane Ian Repairs at Highland Ridge Park has been reviewed by the Interim City Attorney and is legally correct as to form.
