It is re6ommended that the Structural
Steel contract for the City of Miami/
University of Miami James L. Knight
International Center with Florida
Steel Corporation be increased from
the original base bid of $4,385,991
to $5,348,698.
One of the major elements of the Conference/Convention Center is the
structural steel. The detailing, the fabrication and the erection of
the steel is on the critical path in the schedule of construction.
In recognition of the whole project revolving around the structural
steel, we took bids on the steel separate from the remaining portions
of the project in June 1979. This contract price was $4,385,991.
To keep this contract moving in stages, the City authorized $30,000
be paid to the contractor in June 1979 for preparation of shop draw-
ings, and further authorized $1,838,554 for the purchase of steel in
September 1979. This second award was subsequently modified to allow
not only the purchase of: steel, but some fabrication, within the same
contract amount. 'Phis release was increased by an additional $540,000
on May 22, 1980. These releases were held'to the minimum funds
required until. such time as the bonds were sold.
Negotiations have been goin(f on with r1orida Steel Corp. to keep this
project moving. Because of our inability to meet the schedules in
our contract and because of design changes, we will have to increase
the scope of the contract by $962,707. The attached resolution
authorizes the Manager to proceed with the full purchase and fabrica-
tion of all the steel. work. When the bonds are sold it will be
necessary to increase the scope of the contract by the $962,707,making
the total contract $5,348,698 as opposed to the original amount of
$4,385,991.
