Title
Consider approving Resolution No. 2018-21 authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contract with Solar System, Inc. d/b/a McMillan Movers for repairs to the Old Church in the Historical Park in the amount of $411,356 and take appropriate action.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The Old Church is a significant structure in the Historical Park. The Church has issues that appeared to staff to be from moisture. Architexas, Inc., a leading historical architectural firm, was hired to research and make recommendations to correct the issue in order to preserve the structure. Architexas found that there is insufficient ventilation and drainage beneath the structure.
Architexas recommends increasing the elevation of the Old Church by adding to the existing foundations and modifying drainage under and around the structure. Other repairs will be necessary including a new access ramp due to increased floor elevation, siding, flooring, and hvac repairs.
DISCUSSION:
With the help of Gallagher Construction Services, packages were completed and bid proposals were sought relative to this project. Four proposals were submitted. The consultants and staff found that Solar System, Inc. d/b/a McMillan Movers proposal of $411,356 is the lowest responsible proposal for this project.
Funds for this project and the Gilbert House repairs are combined in the Hotel/Motel Fund in the amount of $650,000. Investigations had not been completed when the budget was compiled and this amount was a very rough estimate. With proposals completed it is now estimated that the total for the combined projects, including consultants, contractors, and contingency is approximately $796,000. Remaining funds are available in the Hotel/Motel Fund Balance and the budget will be adjusted accordingly as part of the year end budget review.
