(District 2 — Wilsen) Background Summary: The City Commission awarded Bid No. B13 -03 to C & D Construction, Inc., at a total price of $2,165,000 and modified the project budget to cover the cost of the construction contract plus a 5% contingency allowance, bringing the total construction phase budget to $2,273,250. To date, the construction effort has generally adhered to the original bid price with a net cost increase of less than $20,000. However, other related expenditures have impacted the available contingency funding, such as the remodeling effort at the Withers- Maguire House and the acquisition of tables, chairs, and appliances for use at both rental venues. Additional funding is needed to complete related purchases and final construction. Issue: Should the City Commission approve an additional allocation of $10,000 from the General Fund Contingency to the Community Center Reconstruction and Withers- Maguire House remodeling efforts in order to complete the construction and acquisitions needed to prepare these facilities for rental? Recommendations The Support Services and Parks & Recreation departments recommend that the City Commission approve the allocation of $10,000 in General Fund Contingency budget to capital projects 30609 (Community Center Expansion) and 30610 (Maguire House Modifications) for the purposes proposed above. Staff is to determine the specific allocation to the individual projects based on overall and specific needs to complete the work and ready the facilities for rental with all furnishings. Staff also recommends that the City Commission approve the use of CF Group, Inc. of Newport, Tennessee, as a single source provider for the purpose of ordering additional chairs for City facilities to ensure the compatibility of furnishings, now and in the future. This company and its product line were competitively selected after reviewing the offerings of several companies for design, stain resistance, and longevity. Utilizing a single source will allow chairs and tables to be shared among the various rental venues according to need. 1 Attachments: None. Financial Impact: The amount of Contingency Fund budget will decline by $10,000. The currently available amount is in excess of $90,000.
