As Halfacre Construction mobilized to begin the Hurricane Ian repairs at LaBrea Park damages to the steel support system were identified which were not originally indicated on the damage assessment reports prepared by Rostan and Willdan. The damages are beyond repairable, and in order to replace the fabric shade cover the main support structure must be replaced. The initial Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) included the cost for the replacement fabric shade cover, with the intent to reuse the existing structure. With these additional damages identified, the Parks & Recreation Department is requesting a budget amendment in the amount of $30,459 to replace the damaged support structure. Staff is preparing a change order to Agreement 2023-17.002, Amendment #5, with Halfacre Construction.
After conversations with the Risk Division and Grants Division staff, no additional insurance or Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recoveries are anticipated for this repair. The funding for this request will come from General Fund balance.
