On February 10, 2025 the City Council awarded the construction contract with BRZ Coatings <br />per Resolution 2025-012 in the amount of $347,000. <br />During construction, additional items were discovered that required repair which included the <br />Mud Valve replacement, valve pit pipe recoating, additional interior wet spot repairs and an <br />additional 15% of entire ceiling rafters/overlaps/weld seams which resulted in Change Order <br />NO. 1 of $55,675.00. Staff recommend approving Change Order No. 1. <br />The South Tower Improvement Project is 100% complete and ready for Final Payment and <br />Closeout. Final Payment is in the amount of $402,675.00. TKDA has provided a <br />recommendation to approve Final Payment along with final closeout documents (Attachment B <br />& Q. Staff recommends that Council approve Final Payment and Closeout. <br />Budget Impact <br />As -bid nroiect costs for tower repairs: <br />Repair costs $ 347,000 <br />Change Order No. 1 $ 55,675 <br />Engineering costs $ 67,183 <br />Inspection Services $ 30,300 <br />Total $ 500,158 <br />At the time of the construction contract award, the project total was $194,483 over budget. The <br />overage was included within the Preliminary 2026-2030 CIP Fund Balance projections that were <br />provided to Council on September 29, 2025. After Change Order No. 1, which occurred during <br />construction, the project total is $250,158 over budget. This is an additional overage amount of <br />$55,675; however, there is sufficient fund balance to cover the overage. <br />After reviewing the bids, leading factors to consider is this project was behind schedule by <br />almost 2 years after pursuing grant funds for the security improvements, the type of project is not <br />very competitive with few contractors that specialize in this specific work, and labor rates have <br />increased. For future tower repair projects, Staff will be looking into alternative ways to inspect <br />the structures to provide more accurate estimates and allow for improved budgeting. The <br />inspection report indicated 20% of the ceiling rafters/overlaps/weld seams required rehab but the <br />actual during construction was 35%. <br />Attachments <br />Attachment A: Change Order No. 1 <br />Attachment B: Pay Request - FINAL <br />Attachment C: Closeout Documents <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
