FROM: REFERENCES: for the Virrick Park Project, B-3271 e ez ENCLOSURES: City Manager RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution authorizing an increase in the construction contract between the City and the Cazo Construction Corp. in the amount of $480,000 for the construction of the Elizabeth Virrick Park Community Center project (Second Bidding). The contract sum will increase from $2,063,716.41 to $2,543,716.41 with funds appropriated by Amendment Ordinance No. 11969. BACKGROUND: The Elizabeth Virrick Park Community Center project was designed by the renowned architect, Kenneth Triester, as an outstanding community center and gymnasium for Coconut Grove residents and its disadvantaged youth, with the full support of community leaders. The project was funded by a combination of Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond (SNPB) funds ($1.16 million), Community Development (CD) funds ($1.26 million), and with funds from other City sources. The construction plans were prepared by Laura Perez and Associates, Architects, in conjunction with Ferguson, Glasgow, Schuster, Soto, Inc. Architects, Maurice Grey & Associates (structural) and Fraga Engineers (mechanical and electric). Due to the escalating costs of construction in South Florida, the cost of the Virrick Park project has increased substantially over the original budget. By Resolution No. 99-564 passed on July 27, 1999, the Virrick Park project was approved as an "Emergency" and was authorized for the solicitation of informal bids in order to get construction underway to utilize the time -sensitive SNPB and CD funds. After being bid twice, a construction contract was awarded to Cazo Construction Corp. in the amount of $2,063,716.41 for the first phase, which was within the available funding. At that time, it was recognized that additional funding would be needed to complete the construction because much of the proposed site work and some of the building finishes could not be included because the cost exceeded the budget. Construction has been underway for over six (6) months and work has been progressing satisfactorily. At this. point, additional funding is needed immediately to properly complete the project so that the new Community Center can be put into operation as soon as it is completed. The Parks and Recreation Department was successful in obtaining a State of Florida matching grant of $150,000 to be used exclusively for site work. Recently, the City Manager's staff found there were some General Fund Budget surplus monies that would be available. MEMO-CAZO-VIRRICK B-3271 t, yna The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission Cazo Construction Corp. for the Virrick Park Project, B-3271 Page two By Amendment Ordinance No. 11969, passed on September 28, 2000, some of these surplus funds were designated for ongoing Capital Improvement projects and for project deficits. One.of the ongoing projects identified is the Virrick Park project (CIP No. 331316) for which $150,000 is to be used to match the State grant and another $300,000 is to be used for completing the Community Center building. The additional- funding will be used to cover the cost of a gymnasium floor, stone cladding on a portion of the exterior Walls, gymnasium equipment, cabinets, lockers, site walkways, lighting, perimeter fencing, site furnishings, landscaping and miscellaneous FF & E. The perimeter fencing and. playground equipment is to be purchased separately, at an estimated cost of $120,000. The balance of the additional funding, $480,000, is being requested to increase the construction contract with Cazo ,Construction Corp. for the project. �,/,`/,-94 CAG/FKR/JHJ c; John H.
