Vera, Acting City Manager Hans Ottinot, City Attorney Jane A. Hines, CMC. City Clerk MEMORANDUM Honorable Mayor and Commission Jorge L. Vera, Acting City Manager March 8, 2010 Heritage Park This memorandum will explain the four resolutions that the City Commission will be acting on regarding the expenses associated with the construction of Heritage Park and parking garage. The first part explains the contract with Coastal Construction. Second, I will be addressing the deductive change orders to the contract. Third, I will address a resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into contract for direct purchases by the City of items taken out of Coastal's contract. Finally, I will address a resolution regarding the direct purchase by the City of one of the items taken out of Coastal's contract On Dec 16, 2010 the City Commission approved change order 7 which was thought to be the last change order that would be needed to complete Heritage Park. That change order included the heritage wall, interactive water feature and stage. As construction continued, staff realized that the change order omitted several items of the park. If these items were to be left out, it would provide a park that would not meet the expectation of the City Commission or what was represented to the residents when the park was designed. Increases to Coastal Contract First, I would like to provide the City Commission with a history of Heritage Parking Garage and Park and the cost associated with the construction of the parking garage and park. The original contract with Coastal Construction was for the amount of $9,250,000 approved on June 18th, 2009. The original contract included a parking garage and park on a 3.8 acre site. An additional acre of land was added to the site after the contract was awarded and the park and its amenities were needed to be redesigned. In order to commence with construction of the parking garage shell, since it was the only area that remain unchanged, the contract was bifurcated to allow the construction of the parking garage while a redesign of the park was being done. Therefore the initial $9,250,000 contract was reduced to $6,600,040 for the garage only. Once the redesign was completed, the change orders would be submitted. The following are the change orders to the contract. Agenda Item 3 A, ~. ~ Date 3- ~- "
