Department A <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Manager Reviewed: <br />f , � � �� � <br />DATE: OS/24/04 <br />ITEM: 3.1 <br />Agenda Section: <br />��,sent <br />Item Description: Approving Landscape Alternates and Change Orders to the City's <br />Construction Proj ect <br />Background: The building project continues to progress on schedule, with the Police <br />Department now moved into their new space. The focus of the constructionis now on the first <br />phase of remodel of city hall and the remaining site work. Landscaping and additionalparking lot <br />construction are now underway. As the remodel began in the lower level of city hall, we <br />discovered mold issues in the walls below the existing windows. This will require some <br />additional removal and replacement of insulation and sheetrock. We have also identified <br />plumbing and mechanical issues that require rerouting due to inconsistencies in the drawings <br />from the original building. We will bring appropriate change orders to the Council to address <br />these issues once pricing is received and reviewed. We are bringing additional change orders to <br />the Council at this time to bring the contracts up to date on the public works building and the <br />police addition to city hall. We are also asking for approval of landscape alternates to complete <br />this project. <br />Discussion: <br />Landsca�e Alternates <br />This project was bid with a number of landscape alternates to allow flexibility based on bids <br />received and to have the ability to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the site if the construction <br />budget allows. We have been working with the landscape contractor on a number of minor <br />changes to stretch our landscape budget. The net affect of these changes is more landscaping for <br />the same amount of money. The recommended alternates and changes are as follows: <br />Alternate 4B Eliminate turf in designated areas and replace with prairie seeding <br />DEDUCT $5,000 <br />Alternate 4J Substitute bare root planting or container stock frq�base bid planting where <br />possible <br />DEDUCT $3,932 <br />Alternate 4A Add 41 Imperial Honey Locust adj acent to Civic Center Drive <br />ADD $9,840 <br />Alternate 4F Add 3 Imperial Honey Locust, 43 Green mound Current, 4 juniper, and <br />197 perennials to area at SW comer of Public Works Building <br />ADD $5,200 <br />
