41440,
Through: City Manager Jim Hunt
From: Harbormaster Mack Funk
Agenda Item: Authorize the City Manager to enter into a change order with Harmon
Construction for hazard abatement in the Harbor Restrooms in the amount of
$36,000 and authorizing funds.
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The City received a legislative grant from the state in the amount of$130,000 for the purpose of
updating the harbor restrooms. These facilities include showers and they are extensively used by all
harbor users including cruise ship passengers and the harbor staff. They were originally constructed
in the mid-1960's and then remodeled in approximately 1983. In February 2013, architect and
engineer consultants were sought to design the new improvements, but no professional consultants
responded. So, on May 17, 2013, in accordance with City Code, a Request for Proposals was
advertised for design build services. Harmon Construction was hired on July 8, 2013.
The construction contract required a survey for asbestos and lead paint. Both hazardous materials
were found and before construction work can proceed, abatement is required. The cost of the
additional work is $36,000.
The amount of the change order exceeds the grant funds available,but staff believes that Commercial
Passenger Vessel funds can be used to cover the additional costs.
INTENT:
Authorize the City Manager to enter into a change order with Harmon Construction for hazard
abatement in the Harbor Restrooms Improvements in the amount of$36,000 and authorizing funds.
