inspection will be required during construction of the project and is anticipated to cost <br /> $40,000 for the base bid work and an additional $15,000 for the bid additive work. <br /> The base bid work will return the burn rooms to operational status by replacing the <br /> existing fire-resistant insulation panels with the current industry standard panels from <br /> FireBlast in both the basement and second floor burn rooms. In addition, 530 square <br /> feet of concrete spall repairs and 1,850 linear feet of crack repairs through epoxy <br /> injection are to be completed. The total anticipated project cost to complete only the <br /> base bid repairs is $440,000 and includes design, construction award, a 15 percent <br /> contingency, support services, and other miscellaneous costs. The bid documents were <br /> found to be in order and past work performed by Ashron was verified to be satisfactory. <br /> The bid additive to complete all the recommended maintenance work of the structure <br /> will include an additional 610 square feet of concrete spall repairs, 4,110 linear feet of <br /> crack repairs through epoxy injection, 1,375 square feet of concrete to be sealed, and <br /> replacement of numerous handrail and stair treads. The total anticipated project costs to <br /> complete all the repairs is $650,000 and includes design, construction award, a 15 <br /> percent contingency, support services, and other miscellaneous costs. <br /> It is recommended that both the base bid and bid additive work be completed to fully <br /> repair the structure at this time. If the maintenance work for the structure is delayed, <br /> deterioration of the structure will continue due to exposure to weather and water <br /> intrusion from training exercises, increasing the overall maintenance cost of the <br /> structure. Locations that can be repaired by epoxy injection will further corrode, leading <br /> to the need for spall repairs in addition to epoxy injection repairs. Future repairs will <br /> require the structure to be closed for an additional fire training season to complete the <br /> maintenance work. Until all the repairs are completed, the structural engineer <br /> recommends increasing the frequency of the structure inspections from every 5 years to <br /> every 2 years. <br /> Consultant Services <br /> The project designer, BSK Associates/Finn Design Group, Inc. will be providing <br /> construction support services under the existing on call contract for$55,000. The <br /> consult will review shop drawings, respond to requests for information, and provide <br /> regular inspections and material testing. In addition, the project structural engineer will <br /> aide in the determination of the limits of removal and replacement of materials. <br /> Budget <br /> Project funding totals $230,000 with $31,456 expended to date. The total estimated <br /> project expenditure is $650,000, leaving a project shortfall of$420,000. Staff <br /> recommends the appropriation of$420,000 from the General Fund — Capital <br /> Improvement Program Reserve (CIPR), as outlined in the recommendations above, to <br /> complete funding for this project. The funding and anticipated project expenditures are <br /> detailed in Attachment 1. <br /> Staff recommends that the contingency amount for this project is set at 15 percent of <br /> the construction contract for the potential expansion of the project scope, which may <br /> occur due to expansion of the repair work. <br /> Page 4 of 5 <br />
