PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The Empire Parking Garage is a design-build project. Because the City is unfamiliar with this type of contraction, OAC Services was hired as the owner's project manager. The services have included design and constructability review, cost estimating, on-site construction monitoring and pay estimate verification and processing. Due to Sletten Construction's delayed project completion, OAC is committing additional time to the project beyond what was anticipated in the original or amended contract. The estimated costs for August and September, through project closeout, is $21,336.61. That makes the total OAC contract $511,879.61.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
There are no viable alternatives to approving the change order. Due to OAC's extensive involvement with the project from its outset, the only reasonable action is to have the company close-out the project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Empire Parking Garage project budget has a balance of about $150,000, so there are funds available for this change order.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve OAC Services Change Order #3 for $21,336.61.
