SUBJECT: Authorize a professional services agreement with Engineered Exteriors, LLC, for the design and construction support of the Community Center Roof Replacement, in the amount of $69,600.00.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The Community Center Roof Replacement project was included in the Capital Improvement Plan as a project in 2020 as a result of deficiencies found during a structural assessment of the Bob Gilmore Senior Center that occurred in 2019. This project includes expansion of the Rosa Hereford Community Center and remodeling of the existing floor space to accommodate and include the Senior Center needs that were once in the Bob Gilmer Senior Center.
On May 9, 2023, the City Council approved the contract, with HCS, Inc., for the expansion and renovation of the Community Center, in the amount of $7,416,835.00. This scope did not include full roof replacement for the existing Community Center. Upon review of the project, and during the demolition of the interior, it was discovered that the roof replacement for the existing roof is needed now. This full roof replacement would help to ensure that the ongoing remodeling work would be covered under warranty.
To expedite the needed roof replacement work, the city must engage a designer to provide the necessary roof replacement design details, bidding, and construction support services needed to support HCS, Inc. Consequently, City staff has negotiated a professional services Letter of Agreement with Engineered Exteriors, LLC, for the design and support of the Community Center Roof Replacement project, in the amount of $69,600.00.
