Florida Steel Contract
Conference/Convention Center

/A
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 the key element 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 $1,868,554 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.
Negotiations have been going on with Florida 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 and, in addition, must give
the contractor authority to proceed with $540,000 worth of work by
June 1. The attached resolution provides $540,000 and authorizes the
Manager to proceed with the purchase and fabrication of additional
steel members. Funds for this additional order are presently available
in funds allocated for the Conference/Convention Center. When the bonds
are sold, it will be necessary to increase the scope of the contract
by the $962,707 previously mentioned, making the total contract
$5,348,698 as opposed to the original amount of $4,385,991.
