CIP 96-624 NORTH PIER PARKING STRUCTURE –

RESCIND THE AWARD MADE TO BFL/OWEN, INC. AND APPROVE

CHANGE ORDER TO GORDON H. CHONG & PARTNERS

Recommendation :

It is recommended that the City Council rescind the award made to BFL/Owen, Inc. and authorize staff to issue a Change Order to Gordon H. Chong & Partners.

Background :

On February 23, 1999, the City Council authorized staff to retain BFL/Owen, Inc. in order to provide structural observation of the parking structure construction in the amount of $25,000.

BFL/Owen, Inc. is the Structural Engineer and a principal on the Gordon H. Chong & Partners Design Team for the parking structure.

Analysis:

Staff inadvertently requested to hire BFL/Owen, Inc., a sub-consultant of Gordon H. Chong & Partners, for the structural observation of the parking structure. Since Gordon H. Chong & Partners is the primary design consultant for this project, and BFL/Owen, Inc. is a sub-consultant, hiring, billing and payment should be processed through the primary – Gordon H. Chong & Partners. Therefore, staff recommends rescinding the award made to BFL/Owen, Inc. and approving a Change Order to Gordon H. Chong & Partners in the authorized amount of $25,000 to pay BFL/Owen, Inc. for structural observation.

Fiscal Impact :

No additional appropriations are required.
