recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Facilities and Operations is seeking the approval to move forward with a change order to Thomas Trucking and Mannik & Smith Group in order to complete the demolition of the Juvenile Justice Center (JJC).
BACKGROUND:
In November 2024, the Purchasing Dept solicited bids for the demolition of JJC. A review of the bids was done, and a recommendation in the amount not to exceed $545,000.00 to Thomas Trucking was submitted to the Board for approval. The recommendation was approved by the Board on December 11, 2024, and the County entered into a contract with Thomas Trucking in an amount not to exceed $494,984.33, which represented the amount that the vendor submitted for this project. To this date, the structure has been demolished, and the vendor has stayed within their submitted budget. The vendor’s work has been monitored by Mannik to ensure compliance in demolishing the structure.
DISCUSSION:
As stated previously, the structure that was on site has been demolished. During the demolition, the vendor discovered approximately 3,000 linear feet of transite asbestos containing materials in pipe that was enclosed by concrete. This material must be remediated in order to complete the project. The vendor has submitted a price to remove the pipe and pipe wrap in an amount not to exceed $140,000.00 plus original amount approved equates to a total aggregate amount of $695,000.00 (this amount includes contingencies). Likewise, there will be an additional cost to continue to monitor Thomas Trucking compliance in removing said material by Mannik in an amount not to exceed $60,000.00.
