BACKGROUND:
On June 1, 2021 the City Council awarded Contract 21-149, Moser Tower and Eagle Street Pedestrian Walkway Rehabilitation, to StruxC-MC, LLC. Work on Moser Tower includes concrete repairs, addressing corroded steel surfaces, painting all the steel and replacing the staircase inside the tower. The Eagle Street walkway includes removal and replacement of a failing deck beam and the associated railing work.
On November 16, 2021 the City Council approved Change Order #1 granting an additional 190 days to the contract due to delays encountered with coordinating the relocation of the cell phone carrier transmitters on the tower.
On February 2, 2022, the Chief Procurement Officer approved Change Order #2 to add $2,470 of contingency for additional material.
On May 13, 2022, the City Manager approved Change Order #3 to add $13,530.40 of contingency to support changes to the pre-cast panels.
DISCUSSION:
This change order is requested to extend the contract by another 140 days due to a supply chain delay associated with the coping stones for the lower level. The lower level was originally designed with a pre-cast concrete exterior. When examining the pre-cast samples in the field next to the tower there was unanimous consensus that the pre-cast would not work aesthetically. Instead, a hand-applied latex mix will be used that will fit in much better with the structure. The top and bottom of that façade require field-measured pre-cast copings that are delayed until mid-August.
The waterproofing, installation of the brick pavers and landscaping must follow the installation of the copings, so the project will be completed in mid-September.
This change order extends the contract completion date to September 30, 2022.
