C# with a Future" MEMORANDUM Ir PTO: Rick Koch, City Manager 1 FROM: Sean Wedemeyer, Public Works Director s/Kk/ DATE: September 29, 2015 SUBJECT: Award of an agreement for the construction of Kenai Recreation Center - $3,000 Improvements 2015 — Hallway Addition Rick, This memo is in support of a resolution awarding an agreement for the construction of the Kenai Recreation Center Improvements 2015 — Hallway Addition. The following bids were opened on September 15'", 2015. Bidder Hallway Addition Alternate - Extend Substantial Completion Date to 2016 Architect's Estimate $50,000 - $2,500 Blazy Construction $93,500 - $3,000 Orion Construction $148,000 - $1,400 Treeline Construction $122,886 $0 The scope of work includes constructing a hallway between the weight room and cardio room (handball court 3) and modifying the emergency exit stairs. I also requested a proposed bid reduction if the date of substantial completion was changed from 90 days after Notice to Proceed to June 15 2016. 1 do not recommend accepting the $3,000 deduction offered by Blazy to postpone construction. As a matter of course Architects do not typically provide estimates to construct. Therefore they are not very experienced with estimating. For an additional fee we could have procured a professional estimating company's estimate. We usually pay for this service for multi - million dollar vertical construction projects only. Despite the seemingly large difference between the estimate and the low bid, the low bid is very reasonable as evidenced by the other contractor's proposals. I have discussed possible changes to the design with the contractor, architect, and structural engineer, and we did not determine any value engineering proposals. This project includes multiple disciplines, including roofing, specialty flooring, electrical, interior finishes, exterior finishes, civil site work, rough and finish carpentry, concrete, metal flashing, insulation, etc. The fact that the construction is an addition to an existing facility and must match old existing materials also adds a significant level of complexity. Thank you for your attention to this matter. PLAN
