COLUMBIA HEIGHTS HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (HRA) Meeting of: December 2, 2013 AGENDA SECTION: ORIGINATING EXECUTIVE NO: 4 DEPARTMENT: HRA DIRECTOR APPROVAL ITEM: Modernization Bids BY: S Clark BY: DATE: November 25, 2013 BACKGROUND: Over the past six months staff has had discussions with the HRA regarding the future use of modernization funds which totals $166,414 (This amount is the remaining balances in FY 2011, 2012 and our complete FY 2013 allocation). The concept that has been agreed to (by means of the HRA approval of an amended PHA Plan in November) is that the work to be funded by modernization funds serves as a complement to Aeon's grand rehabilitation plan. In other words, our modernization funds can assist in reducing Aeon's future rehabilitation dollars and if for some unforeseen reason, the sale doesn't occur, the work items can stand alone as a value to the building. The bid items are for door reframing (working toward ADA compliancy), carpeting for all floor hallways, elevator upgrades and a new fire panel system. In addition, paint was purchased on a non -bid basis and approved administratively based on our purchase policy ($5,000) and $1,165 is factored into the total bid amount for dumpsters, trailers, etc. In the past, the HRA contracted with CommonBond to be a project manager for a fee (the HRA's contract with CommondBond establishes this function as a separate fee service). In this case, Aeon has a system already established for all of the future rehabilitation work with MS &R Architects doing the bid specification work and Shaw - Lundquist and Associates being the general contractor. In this case, Shaw - Lundquist has done the bid preparation work and will serve as a project coordinator but not in the form of general contractor with the HRA. Staff will have all of the individual bid contracts be established directly between the successful bidder and the HRA, and not flow through Shaw - Lundquist. In addition, CommonBond will have a review role also since they have the day to day operational facility responsibilities at Parkview Villa. Lastly, since the fire panel work benefits both Parkview Villa South and North, the South building's fund balance will have to absorb a proportional cost of the contract. ($13,900) since the system is a benefit to both buildings. Also, since the total bid amounts exceed the modernization proceeds by approximately $5,000 the North's fund balance will have to absorb the same. Some minor modifications in the following bid structure may be made at the meeting but at this time the bid winners and costs are shown on the attached document. In addition, the proposed motion includes a $16,000 fire alarm contingency ( total for both buildings) if it is determined that the decibel ratings are not in Fire Code compliance for the interior units, meaning that additional horn and /or flashers would have to be installed in the units. RECOMMENDATION: Motion as Written: If Commissioners desire to read the bid specification documents or other related information please contact our Department. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Motion to Approved Bids and Contingency Funds As Follows: 1) Door Framing to Braedmus Hardware in the amount of $9,677 2) Carpeting to Centennial Carpeting in the amount of $45,874 3) Elevator Improvements to Thyssen Krupp in the amount of $41,543 4) Fire Panel Replacement to Minnesota Conway Fire and Safety in the amount of $68,430 for Parkview North and $13,090 for Parkview South 5) Contingency Allocation of $16,000 for additional horn and flasher units if determined by the Fire Marshall that the existing system does not meet code. If needed, cost will be prorated between existing fund balances in Parkview Villa North and South. 6) Source of funds for the North building will be the modernization funds and if the anticipated $166,414 allocation is exceeded, the existing fund balance will be used as a payment source. 7) Payment for South building costs is authorized from the existing fund balance.
