title

Request for approval of a change in contract with The Gonzalez Group, LP., in connection with the Administration Building 1st Floor Commissioner’s Court - Remodel/Relocation - 2019, with a deduction in the amount of $328,897.17, Job No. 22/0057-8, UPIN 20035MF1ER01, Precinct 1, MWDBE Contracted Goal: 14%, MWDBE Current Participation: 48%.

Background and Discussion:

The Commissioner’s Court renovation consists of relocating the court from the 9th floor of the Administration Building to the 1st floor. Scope included a supporting pre-function lobby, enhanced security, conference rooms, private restrooms, and A/V hardware to accommodate the functions of the court.

 

This change in contract, which results in a net deduction, reconciles the state of the project as it stands in its closing stages. This change in contract is comprised of: added cost of HVAC Testing & Balancing not captured under the original scope of the project, cost of General Conditions to the contractor for days added to the original contractual duration, & a deduction of the cost of proposed Ballistic Glass protection from The Gonzalez Group, LP.’s contract awarded in a previous change order.

 

 

Expected Impact:

These changes allow the completion of closing the contract with The Gonzalez Group, LP.

 

 

Alternative Options:

Should we not move forward with this change in contract, these items will remain unreconciled delaying the closeout of the contract and project.

 

 

 

Alignment with Goal(s):

_ Justice and Safety

_ Economic Opportunity

_ Housing

_ Public Health

_ Transportation

_ Flooding

_ Environment

X Governance and Customer Service
