called attention to a note on the Wall Section (page 6 of the RFP) calling for 2" foam board insulation. This additional insulation was not intended to be a requirement of the exterior finish, and with materials and labor adds $7,072 to the project cost. Plus, the lights and fixtures would need to be relocated to accommodate the extra 2" width which would require a electrical subcontractor at $1,250. Further, American Liberty Construction included 1,600 square feet of 'Air Barrier' not knowing if this would be a requirement as part of the Building Permit, which is a $6,075 expense. The above costs if omitted from Pump House #3's completion would be a $14,397 deduct from the $132,500 bid proposal. American Liberty Construction's Proposal Request Notes page also calls attention to the apparent unavailability of the specified 3/4" cedar plywood, and proposes a 'Thermory Wood Siding' instead at an Add -Alternate cost of $15,000. As of this case preparation, Staff has not had the time to fully investigate this product but understands it is of superior appearance and durability over the 5/8" Okoume plywood in the RFP base bid. The City of Independence recently used this heat treated ash siding on their City Hall, and Staff will attempt to have a photo and a recommendation on the potential addition of this Thermory Wood Siding at the Council meeting. Also as of this case preparation, Public Works Staff has not had the opportunity to meet with the Building Official on the detail of proposal and the points above, but intends to do so before the Council meeting, Funding Source: Funding for the completion of Pump House #3 would be from the Municipal Water Utility. This capital improvement project has been factored as part of each Water Utility rate study to date over the years, and accordingly, is considered budgeted for. Recommendation: Staff recommends proceeding with the completion of the exterior of Pump House No. 3, awarding the contract to American Liberty Construction, Inc. At this time, Staff is recommending City Council approve this project at a not -to -exceed amount of $147,500, understanding that the project will likely be completed at approximately +/- $132,500. Action: Motion to approve entering into a contract with American Liberty Construction, Inc. in an not -to -exceed amount of $147,500 for the Design and Construction of Exterior Finishes to Pump House No. 3 American Liberty Proposal CIP water utility worksheet page Pump House existing conditions Wall Section Detail Inbox Grant Riemer Kurt Ulrich Form Started By: Mark Riverblood Final Approval Date: 04/22/2021 Reviewed By Grant Riemer Kurt Ulrich Attachments Form Review Date 04/22/2021 03:33 PM 04/22/2021 04:17 PM Started On: 04/20/2021 08 : 3 9 AM
