Title

AMENDMENT NO. ONE TO CONTRACT K-1617-36:  BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF NORMAN, OKLAHOMA, AND KIRKPATRICK FOREST CURTIS, P.C., (KFC) INCREASING THE CONTRACT AMOUNT BY $9,500 FOR A REVISED CONTRACT AMOUNT OF $64,500 TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING AND DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE NORMAN TRAIN DEPOT RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT AND BUDGET TRANSFERS BETWEEN PROJECT ACCOUNTS.

 

Body

BACKGROUND: In December, 2015, City staff became aware that the west parapet wall of the south office area of the Norman Train Depot had noticeably rotated inward towards the roof when compared to the previous year.  An initial on-site investigation by KFC Engineering noted that the parapets at the center clay tile roofs appeared to be out of plumb as well. Following the initial damage investigation, temporary shoring was installed beneath the roof joists in the south office area to brace the roof.  The plaster ceiling was removed from the south office area and shoring was installed to brace the parapet on the roof of the south office area.   Further investigation by the engineer discovered that the cast stone parapet cap was cracked and had allowed moisture to penetrate the building and deteriorate the wall structure to a point where the only feasible solution was to tear down the entire damaged section of the Depot structure and rebuild it.

 

On July 26, 2016, City Council approved Contract K-1617-36 with Kirkpatrick Forest Curtis, P.C., (KFC), in the amount of $55,000 to provide professional engineering and design services for the Norman Train Depot Reconstruction Project. 

 

DISCUSSION: Based on unforeseen conditions encountered in the center portion of the depot, additional time and effort beyond the original scope of work from Kirkpatrick Forest Curtis, P.C., (KFC) is now necessary. Funding is available in the Park Maintenance Office Re-Wire Project which was scheduled prior to Norman Forward being approved. As part of the Norman Forward work, the park maintenance facilities will be relocated from Reaves Park to Griffin Park. 

 

RECOMMENDATION NO. 1It is recommended that City Council approve Amendment No. One to Contract K-1617-36 increasing the contract amount by $9,500, to provide additional professional engineering and design services for the Norman Train Depot Reconstruction Project.

 

RECOMMENDATION NO. 2:    It is recommended that City Council approve the transfer of $9,500 from Park Maintenance Office Rewire, Construction (050-9677-419.61-01; EF0192) to Santa Fe Train Depot Reconstruction Project, Design (050-9677-419.62-01; project EF0212).
