O d l o REFERENCES City Manager ENCLOSURES: a11 RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution authorizing an increase in the contract between Cone Constructors, Inc. and the City of Miami for Dinner Key Marina Restoration Phase.II in the amount of $209,173.50; and further ratifying the City Manager's written finding that the increase resulted from emergency circumstances. BACKGROUND The Department of Public Works, in an effort to serve all residents of the City of Miami, has determined that it is now appropriate and in order for the City Commission to ratify the City Manager's decision to increase the contract dated June 2, 1993 between the City of Miami and Cone Constructors, Inca for construction of Dinner Key Marina Restoration - Phase II H-1008 in the amount of $209,173.50 for necessary extra work, and to ratify the City Manager's emergency finding that allowed the extra work to continue. The City Commission awarded a contract to Cone Constructors, Inc. for the construction of Dinner Key Marina Restoration - Phase II under Project Nos. 414501 and 414005, in the amount of $2,850,430.00 on May 13, 1993. Generally, the project consisted of a complete repair of Pier #3 through Pier #8 and the landside facilities including the Baywalk, Vacuum Sewer Building and related equipment, along with the final repairs to Piers #1, #2, and #9, located at Dinner Key Marina 3400 Pan American Drive. As a result of Hurricane Andrew, the 25-KVA pier mounted transformers at Dinner Key Marina were subjected to salt water damage from the storm surge. Under the National Electrical Code which is incorporated in the South Florida Building Code, all salt water damaged equipment must be certified or replaced. The manufacturer, ACME Transformer Co., can not re -certify the transformers since their submersion in salt water voided any, and all warranties and also voided the testing laboratory listing. Therefore the transformers must be replaced. 93- 746 �+-I Cesar H. Odio Dinner Key Marina Restoration Phase II Page 2 In the original approved estimate, it was anticipated 25% of the existing transformers (75 each) would need replacement. After the city started using Piers #1 and #2 on a temporary basis, some transformers started failing. The City's electrical inspector determined that the failures were caused by salt water and that all transformers would need to be replaced with National Electrical Code Approved Equipment. The total replacement will require an additional 215 transformers to complete the repairs in accordance with electrical code requirements. The increase in cost will be $209,173.50 which also includes proper disposal of the existing transformers. It was decided that the most cost effective and expeditious manner to address all of the above problems was to allow Cone Constructors, Inc. to proceed with the extra work and continue with replacement of the transformers as soon as possible. Failure to expeditiously correct the aforementioned problems, could have endangered the health, safety and welfare of our citizens. Funds for this additional scope of work have been req.uested through a supplemental Damage Survey Report (DSR) from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The total increase in contract amount is $209,173.50. 93- 746
