On May 17, 2023, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2023-141, approving a contract in an amount up to $3,988,560.00 with State Contracting & Engineering Corporation (“SCEC”) for the Dowdy Former Armory Renovation Project (“Contract”), a General Obligation Bond Project.
The Department of Design and Construction Management (“DCM”) desires to issue a change order to the Contract to increase the contract price from $3,998,560.00 to $4,648,560.00. Section 7.6 of the Contract states that the current Owner’s Contingency amount, which is included in the contract price, is $106,873.00.
The proposed change order will provide an additional $250,000.00 of Owner’s Contingency for unforeseen conditions, upgrades, the addition of low voltage, site work, and Florida Historic Preservation Grant requirements. This funding is inclusive of the budget previously approved for the project and requires no additional funding. The proposed change order will also provide an additional $400,000.00 of Owner’s Contingency for the fit-out of the Dowdy Armory community center equipment that was approved in FY 2024 Capital Improvement Plan budget amendment No. R-2024-001 on January 17, 2024
Section 38.48 of the Procurement Code states that all change orders that the City Manager is not authorized to approve must be formally approved by the City Commission.
The Director of DCM recommends that the City Commission approve and authorize a change order to the Contract with SCEC to increase the contract amount by $650,000.00 from $3,998,560.00 to $4,648,560.00
