Body
Strategic Plan:
Foster Continual Economic Growth and Vitality
4.6 Support a vibrant community with recreation, arts, and culture to attract residents and visitors
Summary:
Change order no. 1 (final) decreases the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved expenditure by ($7,347.08), accepts the contract as complete and authorizes final payment. The decrease in expenditure is due to the difference between estimated preliminary and final quantities required to construct the project. The agreement is also increased by sixty six (66) consecutive calendar days. This additional time was necessary for permit acquisition and additional work for roof flashing and fascia as requested by the County.
Background/Explanation:
The purpose of this project was for the reconstruction and replacement of a four (4) story observation tower, along with related access work. The original observation tower was destroyed by a fire in September 2013. An American Disability Act compliant connecting boardwalk will be built in the future to allow for access to the tower. The Board approved the tower replacement on August 5, 2014.
The project was determined to be substantially complete on June 5, 2015; final completion was achieved on July 13, 2015. The protracted time frame between substantial and final completion is attributable to completion of walk through inspection with project stakeholders and punch list items.
Fiscal Impact:
Original Estimated Total Expenditure: $870,394.50
Decrease due to Change Order No. 1 (final): ($ 7,347.08)
Revised Total Expenditure: $863,047.42
Funding for this project was derived from a reimbursement from the County’s insurance carrier and the Infrastructure Sales Tax (Penny for Pinellas): Parks, Recreation and Culture Program; Countywide Parks Projects. All construction costs are reimbursed to the County with the exception of:
• $100,000.00 - Policy Deductible
• $ 6,900.00 - Fireproof Treatment (necessary to prevent a future fire)
