• Memo to Michelle Wolfe 2 <br /> February 13th <br /> City hall arbitration <br /> 9) In progress engineering(bid specs) $13,500.00 <br /> Total above $394,217.24 <br /> The City has scheduled a third mediation attempt for the 30th of April. We expect to spend <br /> approximately $20,000 in expenses for the next mediation session, based on past mediation and <br /> preliminary estimates. <br /> If the mediation is unsuccessful, the City is also scheduled for Arbitration the last week of May <br /> and the first two weeks in June. The City can expect to spend an additional $100,000 to $140,000 <br /> on arbitration, attorney and professional witness fee. These figures do not include staff time. <br /> The City currently has a claim against Rochon for defective work in the amount of <br /> $2,124,836.25. This claim amount assumes a total tear off and replacement of all exterior stone <br /> and re-flashing/reconstruction of the cavity wall system to correct the insulation system, building <br /> paper and relief angles. Our expert WJE does not believe that this work is necessary for long <br /> term serviceability. However the work performed by Rochon (specifically one vs. two layers of <br /> building paper, steel vs. galvanized angles and regular vs. tongue and groove insulation) <br /> represent a failure to comply with the contract documents and thus a breach of contract. <br /> Independent of the results of mediation or arbitration, the City has to do certain repairs regardless <br /> of the outcome. Below is a list of minimum repairs, listed in priority, for Arden Hills City Hall. <br /> Also included are cost estimates for that repair. Estimates are based on quotes obtained from <br /> Advanced Masonry Restoration and Building Restoration Corp. Quotes have been adjusted per <br /> Wiss, Janey, and Elstner specifications. The quotes were intended for budget purposes only and <br /> may change once the actual scope of work is determined. <br /> 1)Replace chimney stone and flashing $105,000 to $125,000 <br /> 2) Replace/repair thru wall flashing $100,000 to $120,000 <br /> 3) Replace/Reset parapet cap stone $100,000 to $160,000 <br /> 4)Replace/repair window head flashing $80,000 to $150,000 <br /> Total of repairs $385,000 to <br /> $555,000 <br /> Analysis <br /> • \\RVNAS 1\AHdata$\Building\City Ha11\Arden Hills-3-12-07-CouncilMemo.DOC <br />
