RE: North 14 Street Multimedia Entertainment District Project (CIP B#30394)
Dear Mr. Sosa,
We have been recently made aware that the referenced project requires City
Commission action for any cost increases that exceed 10% of the contract amount. The
CRA has a current allocation of $6 million for the project. The original construction
contract amount with a 10% contingency was $2,174,999.80. Based on unforeseen
conditions and CRA driven project requests (shallow signalization conduits and
decorative street lighting) that were not part of the original bid documents, it has been
determined that an additional $220,000.00 should be made available to this contract.
This increase willexceed the 10% threshold allowed by City Commission for City CIP
contracts. The CRA's budget allocation supports this increase.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
,i
Pieter A. ockweg
Omni CRA Executive Director
