Title

Consider Authorizing The City Manager To Execute An Amendment To The Contract With Dallas Harmony Construction, Through BuyBoard, For Historical Restorations To A.W. Perry Homestead Museum, Increasing The Total Compensation By $145,807.20 For A New Total Amount Not To Exceed $680,031.00.

 

Body

BACKGROUND:

At the July 2, 2024, Council meeting, staff presented a historical restoration plan for the A.W. Perry Homestead, addressing key considerations from the 2020 Historical Structures Report. The project is now underway, with exterior restorations nearly complete.

 

As the contractor began interior work, they discovered that water damage and age had produced more extensive wall repairs than originally anticipated. Some areas require plaster and potential sheetrock overlays for repair or replacement, which will also necessitate re-wallpapering the first floor, as the original wallpaper is no longer available. Additionally, staff decided to replace the UV protective film on all exterior windows to improve artifact preservation. This change order request is for an additional $145,807.20.

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:

A 10% contingency is included to cover any additional costs that may arise during the renovation process.

 

Competitive pricing was secured through BuyBoard. The renovations of the museum will be funded by Capital Accounting Unit: 854360 - Perry Museum Improvements

 

IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:

This project supports and aligns with Council goals and objectives through the fiduciary care and maintenance of our infrastructure.

 

STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:

Staff recommend Council authorize a contract with Dallas Harmony Construction for restoration services in an amended amount not to exceed $680,031.00.
