WHEREAS, on May 18, 2004, by Resolution No. 2004-78, the City
Council approved a contract with Katz Architecture to design needed improvements to
the City Hall second floor front lobby area, the Human Resources office area, and the
Engineering office area. At that time it was estimated that the building improvements
and necessary furniture would cost approximately $230,000; and
WHEREAS, the building improvement project has now been designed
and competitively bid. As part of the building improvement plan preparation, furniture
and equipment was selected from Office Pavilion through a "county -wide" competitive
bidding process. Section 2.60.260 of the Municipal Code authorizes the City to join
other jurisdictions in public purchasing plans; and
WHEREAS, included in the project will be the relocation of the telephone
and computer switchgear from the Human Resources Director's office to a location
across the hall under an existing contract with Nexus, the City's telephone system
vendor; and
WHEREAS, the Engineering Department did, in open session on
November 2, 2004, publicly open, examine and declare six sealed bids for the National
City City Hall Remodel project. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder was
Randall Construction, whose bid to perform the work was for $114,254; and
WHEREAS, the project budget has grown from the original estimate of
$230,000 to $275,000, because work has been added to the project, specifically,
relocating the telephone and computer switchgear; and because the budget now
includes a "contingency" for conditions that may be encountered during the construction
of the project which was not included in the original estimate; and
WHEREAS, it is proposed that $275,000 be made available for this project
by transferring monies from other accounts to the "City Hall Second Floor Remodel"
project account.
