City Council Meeting: February 25, 2003 Santa Monica, California
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: City Staff
SUBJECT:Modification to Contract 7591 (CCS) with DMR Team, Inc. for the
Municipal Pool Project
Introduction
This report recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a
modification to Contract 7591 (CCS) with DMR Team, Inc., for construction management
services on the Santa Monica Municipal Pool Project in the amount of $67,450.
Background
In 1998, the City Council approved plans for the Municipal Pool Complex located at 2225
th
16 Street. Swinerton Builders completed the construction in July 2002 after the first
contractor, Vahdani Construction Co., defaulted on the project in March 2001.
Discussion
On September 28, 1999, City Council approved Contract Number 7591 (CCS) with DMR
Team, Inc., for construction management services in the amount of $377,000. After the
Vahdani default, Swinerton Builders re-commenced construction with a projected project
completion in late February 2002. This required an additional year of DMR Team’s
services. City Council approved execution of contract modifications in the amount of
$137,500 on July 10,2001.
1
As a result of additional scope of work, unforeseen field conditions, increased coordination
with the bonding company after the default, and an additional six-month extension to
contract completion, staff recommends Council authorize the City Manager to execute
another modification in the amount of $67,450. The total amount of the contract including
all modifications is $581,950.
Budget/Financial Impact
The revenue budget was increased in account 01224.407270 by compensation from
the bonding company for latent defects caused by the defaulting contractor, which is
available for appropriation to account C01066402.589000. Following the appropriation,
funds in the amount of $67,450 will be available for this modification.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Appropriate funds in the amount of $67, 450 from revenue account 01224.407270
to account C01066402.589000;
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a modification to professional services
agreement Contract 7591(CCS) with DMR Team, Inc., in the amount of $67,450.
