REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Chuck Winn, Assistant City Manager
Chris Kukulski, City Manager SUBJECT: Carl Walker Professional Services Agreement
MEETING DATE: February 2, 2009
RECOMMENDATION: Ratify City Manager’s Signature on Professional Services Agreement with Carl Walker Engineering.
BACKGROUND: During construction of the parking garage, a crack developed in the main
level floor near the east entrance. While cracking in itself is not unusual in concrete parking garages, this particular crack, due to its location and size, needs specialty repair. City building and facilities personnel have been working with the parking garage design engineer, DCI
Engineering, to identify a proper repair to ensure the long term durability and viability of the
structure. As construction on the garage nears completion, it is important this issue be resolved
to our satisfaction before the contractor turns the building over to the City. We feel it is prudent to have the proposed repair reviewed by a third party not connected with the project’s contractor or engineers to insure the City’s interests are protected. We have selected Carl Walker to
perform this third-party review.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Contract amount of $4,000 will be charged to the parking garage project contingency, leaving a balance of $5,000 for remaining contingencies.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the Commission.
Respectfully submitted, _________________________________ ____________________________
