TITLE: Approve Second Amendment to Construction Manager at Risk Contract No. 2023-17.005 for Construction Services Contract Phase II with Willis A. Smith Construction, Inc., in the Amount of $21,247.00, for Fire Station 85 Repairs.
Recommended Action
Approve Second Amendment to Construction Manager at Risk Contract No. 2023-17.005 for Construction Services Contract Phase II with Willis A. Smith Construction, Inc., in the Amount of $21,247.00, for Fire Station 85 Repairs.
Background Information
Due to Hurricane Ian, Fire Station 85 was damaged by wind and water and is requiring necessary 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 Second Amendment to the CMaR Contract No. 2023-17.005 is for the construction phase of the process.
North Port Fire Rescue provided a direct selection of Willis A. Smith Construction, Inc. as the preferred CMaR to perform the necessary repairs at Fire Station 85. Accordingly, staff requests City Commission approval of the Second Amendment to CMaR Contract No. 2023-17.005 for Construction Services Contract Phase II with Willis A. Smith Construction, Inc., in the amount of $21,247.00, for the necessary repairs of Fire Station 85.
The Second Amendment has been reviewed by the City Attorney’s Office and is legally correct as to form.
