TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Contract Amendment with Brasfield & Gorrie L.L.C. for
Riverwalk Repair
INITIATED BY: Donna W. Newman, Director of Engineering
Recommendation: Approval is requested to amend a contract with Brasfield &
Gorrie, L.L.C. for miscellaneous repair work identified by City staff along
the Riverwalk from the Eagle Phenix Mill area to the Trade Center.
Background: There are several specialized repair type work items that
are needed along the Riverwalk between the Eagle Phenix Mill area and the Trade
Center, approximately from 9th Street to 12th Street. This includes but is
not limited to painting of railing and other appurtenances, concrete/ masonry
repair work, electrical work, replacing broken items, etc. It is the City's
desire to get the area restored to its former condition for the many citizens
and visitors that will using it for recreation and observation purposes for the
Chattahoochee White Water events.
Analysis: Brasfield & Gorrie, L.L.C. is currently under a "GM/GC" contract
with the City for construction of the City Service Center Complex. They are
also currently doing construction work on the Eagle Phenix Mill Project. The
rationale for selection of this contractor is they are already doing work in
the vicinity and this minimizes conflict of two contractors working in the same
limited space. This would also save the City cost of mobilizing a new
contractor and aids in expediting the project prior to initiation of
Chattahoochee White Water Events scheduled to begin Memorial Day weekend.
Financial Considerations: Funds are available in the General Fund CIP. The
cost has been estimated not to exceed $100,000.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: Public Works and Parks and
Recreation departments currently do not have expertise and resources to do work
in the time frame needed.
Legal Considerations: The City Attorney must approve the amendment to the
contract.
Recommendations/ Actions: Approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager to
amend the contract with Brasfield & Gorrie, L.L.C. for miscellaneous repair
work identified by City staff along Riverwalk from Eagle Phenix Mill area to
the Trade Center.
