REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Agenda Date Requested: June 12. 2006 Appropriation Requested By: S. Gillett ~ Source of Funds: Fund 046 Department: Public Works Account Number: 046-9892-904-9110 Report: Resolution: Ordinance: x Amount Budgeted: $199,IB5.00 Exhibits: Approval Ordinance Amount Requested: $79,402.00 Exhibits: Chan!!:e Order No.1 Budgeted Item: YES SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION On November 14,2005, City Council approved a contract with Hale-Mills for the design and construction of the La Porte Police Department Building Project. A total of$1O,191,593 was appropriated, including a $199,835 contingency. The original contract specifications did not include a radio antenna tower. It was anticipated at the time of specification development that the Fire Department would utilize the new radio system recently acquired by the Police Department. Since that time, the Fire Department has elected to keep the original system, incorporating the Police channels with Fire channels. In order to continue using the original radio system, a new tower, foundation and grounding system will be required, designed to the same 150 mph wind load as the building. The Contractor has submitted Change Order # 1, for a total cost of $79,402 to furnish and install the tower. Not included in this change is the furnishing and installation of the antennas, cabling to the radio room and removing and reinstalling the original radio equipment in the new facility. Staff is preparing an RFP to accomplish these items of work through a specialized radio contractor. A separate contract will be presented when proposals have been received, which should take place well after the building shell is completed and interior work is underway. No cost estimate is available at this time. Action ReQuired bv Council: Approve an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to Execute Change Order No.1 with Hale-Mills in the amount of$79,402.00.
