summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
West Construction Inc. was retained by the City in May 2019. The firm was awarded a contract in the sum of $5,808,217.24 for construction of Fire Station 52. On December 8, 2020, the agreement was modified via Ordinance 2021-23 to construct a fuel depot adjacent to the site for the sum of $583,057.00. However, construction of Fire Station 52 and the Fuel Depot could not start until completion of Fire Stations 61 and 114 in order to relocate Fire Station 52 personnel and maintain response time. In the interim, due to market fluctuation and rising inflation, the above-ground fuel system and related Fuel Depot items (such as gates, fencing, landscape) have experienced significant escalation costs. Additionally, cameras and electrical connections to the adjacent Fire Station have been added to secure this critical and emergency support City facility. West submitted a request for additional compensation in the sum of $ 328,848.30 (see Exhibit "A") to account for this cost escalation and complete the project. Staff believes this increase is justifiable. Finally, staff has met with West to review these figures and compare two (2) alternative vendors which at $469,944 and $484,000 were substantially costlier. Staff recommends approval.
