recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff is requesting the Board of Commissioners to approve the 1101 Beach Street Administration Building Demolition Assistance Services Contract with The Mannik & Smith Group, Inc (MSG) in the amount of $133,000, and for Board Chairperson Delrico J. Loyd to sign the contract.
BACKGROUND:
Genesee County is working toward reducing legacy costs associated with existing county infrastructure, specifically the former Genesee County Administration Building at 1101 Beach Street in Flint. The County recently completed a transition of operations to the new Tower Building. With the relocation complete, the former County Administration Building is no longer in active use. The County is evaluating options for the future of the property, including potential sale and/or demolition of the existing structure. To support this process, the County seeks to engage a qualified consultant to provide demolition assistance services. The consultant will conduct an environmental site assessment and pre-demolition asbestos survey, aid in demolition contractor bid specs and proposal review, and manage demolition related activities to ensure compliance with applicable regulations and efficient project execution. Staff is recommending contracting with The Mannik & Smith Group to perform these services. The firm has successfully completed demolition oversight activities for the County, consistently delivering quality work and reliable support. MSG assisted with the McDonald Dairy demolition project where the Genesee County Recycling and Education Center will be located and is currently engaged with the County on the demolition of the former Genesee Valley Regional Center.
DISCUSSION:
Staff is recommending approval from the Public Works Committee to enter into a contract with MSG to perform demolition assistance services for the demolition of facilities at the former Genesee County Administration Building, 1101 Beach Street, Flint, MI 48502, and for Board Chairperson Delrico J. Loyd to sign the contract. Staff is also requesting approval to create a purchase order for MSG in the amount of $133,000 for this activity.
IMPACT ON HUMAN RESOURCES:
No impact on human resources. Demolition assistance services will be conducted by hired consultants.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
The contract is funded by a grant received from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation (account # 1010-202.01-801.004). No General Funds will be used for this project.
IMPACT ON FACILITIES:
This project will assist in demolishing the former Genesee County Administration Building, 1101 Beach Street, Flint, MI 48502.
IMPACT ON TECHNOLOGY:
No impact on technology.
CONFORMITY TO COUNTY PRIORITIES:
To meet Genesee County’s priority of long-term financial stability, this project will support demolition assistance activities for demolition of the former Genesee County Administration Building. These activities, paired with the future sale and/or demolition of the property, will help address the county’s legacy costs by reducing ongoing infrastructure maintenance and utility costs, avoiding expensive capital repairs, and improving long-term land value and reuse potential.
