 City of Hermosa Beach --- 04-14-98
CITY HALL RENOVATIONS C.I.P. NO. 95-622
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Instruct the City Clerk to post a Notice Inviting Sealed Bids for the project. (Plans are available for review in the Fire Chief's Office)
Background:
On March 12, 1996, Council entered into an agreement with Gillis & Associates Architects of Irvine, for the preparation of final contract documents, specifications, and estimates for the renovation of City Hall.
Analysis:
Two years after entering into the agreement with Gillis & Associates, and numerous plan check corrections, Staff feels that the plans are sufficient to go to bid for the project. The project will be advertised for bids for a period of three (3) weeks, beginning April 20th, 1998. The construction documents are on file in the offices of the Fire Chief and the Director of Public Works.
The scope of the project includes new construction at City Hall to comply with ADA requirements which includes a new elevator and new bathrooms on the second floor; a complete redesign of the front entry to City Hall; Council Chambers renovations, including a new audio visual system; renovation of the Public Works Department; two new offices at the Fire Department and relocating the front entry; a face lift for the Administration and Finance offices.
In addition to the above items the Council Chambers will be outfitted with a new TV broadcast system. This system is not part of the Gillis & Associates scope of work and will be designed under a separate contract.
Fiscal Impact:
The architect's estimate for the construction is $693,743. Currently funds are available in CIP 622 for the project.
Alternatives:
1. Approve staff's recommendation.
2. Send item back to staff for further study.
3. Take no action.
