Body
BACKGROUND:
The City Council awarded a contract on February 18, 2025, to Gomez Floor Covering, Inc. dba GFC Contracting in the amount of $855,399.00. The scope of the project is to upgrade interior lighting, replace ceiling tiles and grids, and provide additional open office space in City Hall Basement. Change Orders 1-2 in the amount of $78,409.00 were approved by staff, and included basement floor plan modifications, additional offices on the first floor, new mailroom millwork, HVAC modifications, a domestic waterline relocation, replacement of a drain line under the employee restrooms, and additional electrical and data work.
During the Fire Inspection, the Fire Marshal noted multiple deficiencies in the sprinkler and fire alarm systems that were outside of the contractor’s scope of work. The existing sprinkler system needs to be repaired and adjusted to meet the current fire code.
During a door hardware meeting with Facilities and IT, both departments noted that additional door hardware items are needed.
This change order (Change Order 03) in the amount of $28,138.00, will cover the following items:
