"w" Convention Center Project
Award Foundation Conttadt
Enclosed is a draft of a Resolution for Commission action at the
next meeting on 27 July 1978.
The purpose of the Resolution .is to authorize the City Manager to
proceed with routine business of advertising and evaluating bids
and awarding a contract for the Convention Center Project while
the Commission is in recess during the month of August 1978.
In the case of the Convention Center Project which is funded in
part by an EDA Grant, it is necessary to have continuous on -site •
construction work as a condition of the Grant. By means of this
Resolution, continuity of construction will be ensured. Work
under the latest construction contract is expected to be completed
by end of August 1978 at which time work under a new construction
contract would begin.
It is anticipated that this contract will not exceed a construction
cost of $200,000. It will be the first of at least two foundation
contracts for this project, consisting of surcharging the subsurface
soil in a manner that will allow placement of mat -type foundations,
rather than pilings, to reduce the total cost of the foundations.
