BACKGROUND:
Background
201 Howland Boulevard has had little outside professional repairs, maintenance and upgrades for over 20 years. The impacts of Hurricane Ian, Nicole & Milton demonstrated that the building needed long deferred attention. During Ian & Nicole approximately a quarter of the office building flooded and during Milton the building was hit with rain-driven winds through the front façade of the building. These impacts required remediation with drywall removal and mold removal. The impact to the floor flooding on the ceramic tile was not evident in 2022, but over the last years tile has begun popping up and cracking.
FY 24/25 budgeted $250,000 for this project, a portion of this funding was to provide additional security fencing to protect the Public Works facility; that work was completed at a cost of $13,852 leaving a balance of $236,148 for work at the primary building at the Public Works Depot along with the sign shop.
The contract for the work on April 14, 2025 was awarded to A.G. Pifer Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $172,274. The Scope of Work included roof gutter replacements, siding repairs/replacement, masonry repair, exterior painting/water proofing, flooring replacement, prime/paint interior, seal foundation cracks, replace sinks/toilets/urinals/partitions, etc.
Change Order #1 was required to replace the window blinds that have outlived their useful life and reinstallation would not be viable as well as the need for replacement cabinets for three-bathroom facilities for a total of $18,901 bringing the project cost to $191,175; Change Order #1 was approved on June 9, 2025 by City staff.
During on-going construction it was determined that Change Order #2 was necessary for additional cabinetry replacement that no longer provided the physical support or needed space for office supplies, radios, electronic equipment, manuals, handouts, etc., sign shop subfloor replacement (not part of the initial contract), remove/replace dysfunctional exhaust fans in bathrooms, remove/replace deteriorated air supply grilles, and electrical outlet installations.
This is a request to approve Change Order #2 with A.G. Pifer Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $34,398.03, leaving the project under budget with a remaining budget of $10,574.97. City staff has deemed this additional work in Change Order #2 as necessary.
