FROM: Dan St. John, RASCE Director, Public Works & Utilities
Jason Beatty, P.E. — Assistant Director, Public Works & Utilities
SUBJECT: 'Resolution Accepting Completion of the Remodel of Fire Station #2 Project
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution Accepting Completion of
the Remodel of Fire Station #2 Project.
BACKGROUND
Fire Station 2 needed modernization and reconfiguration of the locker and rest rooms in order to
provide adequate accommodations for an increasingly diverse workforce. This project
reconfigured the restrooms and locker rooms at Stations 2 to provide separated bathrooms and to
improve ADA compliance under the State Building Code. Fire Station 2 had one full men's
locker room with two side-by-side showers that did not provide privacy for changing and one
half -bath. The existing locker room has been modified to provide a single shower with an
attached private changing area. The half bathroom has been reconfigured to include an ADA
compliant shower, sink and changing area to serve women and ADA needs at the station. This is
the only station modified as part of this construction contract.
The proposed action meets Council Goal: "A Safe Community that Thrives and Objective 1
workplan item "evaluate all City facilities, including our police and fire stations, and corporation
yard facilities, and develop maintenance and replacement recommendations."
DISCUSSION
On October 1, 2018 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-157 N.C.S. awarding the
contract to the lowest responsive bidder, Kevin Mack Construction, Inc. for $144,000.00. The
base bid included the modification of Fire Station #2 only. Construction drawings were
completed for Fire Station #3 also and were bid as a bid alternate, but contractor bids came in too
high to complete both facilities within the established budget. The identification of required
funding, scope of work, and needs for the modifications at Fire Station #3 are continuing to be
evaluated
As part of the work, the City rented toilet and shower trailers for the Fire Department staff to use
while the project was under construction. The City originally planned to abate asbestos backed
flooring within both bathrooms, but at project initiation was informed that the flooring had
previously been replaced. However, six weeks after the project began staff identified asbestos
containing wall covering and scheduled removal at the abatement contractor's first availability.
Six weeks after the project began staff was notified of suspected mold growth within the wall
cavity at the urinals. An industrial hygienist was hired to positively identify the mold and
prescribe treatment. The asbestos abatement removed a section of the mold containing wall and
additional mold abatement was scheduled at the abatement contractor's first availability.
Shortly after project initiation staff was notified of frequent sewer back-up issues. Video of the
sewer line showed a non -code compliant installation that required replacement for proper
operation. A change order was negotiated with the contractor to replace the sewer line from the
bathroom under the building foundation to the cleanout at the sidewalk. The existing sewer
lateral from the sidewalk cleanout to the water main under the roadway was not replaced because
the lateral condition was shown to be code compliant.
These unknown conditions delayed the contractor from completing the bathroom reconfiguration
scope of work per the original schedule. The City and the Contractor negotiated a delay claim to
further compensate the contractor for the days the City spent identifying and abating hazardous
materials, and for the days that the City spent investigating and budgeting for the sewer lateral
replacement.
The final construction contract is $205,024.79, including six change orders for underground
sewer lateral replacement; site preparation for abatement activities; replacement of insulation,
wall board and wall covering removed by abatement activities; and replacing the aged urinals
and toilet partitions; and claim of project delay. The change order total is $61,024.79.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Public Works staff worked with the Fire Department Battalion Chief in charge of facilities to
identify station needs related to the project. Fire Department staff reviewed the plans and
provided feedback for plan modifications before finalizing the construction documents intended
for bidding. Fire Department staff were kept up to date with project progress during construction
via email, phone conversations and site discussions.
The Public was notified of this project through Public Bid Notices and City Council meetings
that included authorizations for award of design services and the construction contract.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The project, C00300405, was approved in the FY 17/18 CIP Budget for $150,000. After design
was completed, it became apparent that the original project budget was insufficient, therefore the
project budget was increased to $206,000 during FY 2017/18. The project was initially
2
advertised in March 2018, but only one response was received at a cost that was several times the
budget. The single bid was rejected in May 2018 by the City Council.
CIP Project C00300405 was budgeted in the FY 18/19 CIP at $206,000 and funded from
Transient Occupancy Tax and Fire Suppression Impact fees. Approximately $37,600 was
expended in FY 17/18 for planning and design of the restroom separation project. Approximately
$97,700 was expended in fiscal years 2012 through 2017 for preliminary design of Station 2 and
3 expansions. Approximately $135,300 has been spent through FY 2017/18.
A FY 2018/19 mid -year project budget adjustment was approved on March 27, 2019 for $64,000
to allocate funds for the increased costs to address unforeseen conditions with the sewer lateral
repairs and asbestos and mold abatement impacts resulting in a revised project budget of
$270,000. The revised project budget will be fully expended.
