Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Fire Station 15 project involves construction of a new fire station at 1640 West El Camino Avenue, including off-site and on-site improvements, to replace the former Fire Station 15, which was located at Newborough Drive. Construction of the fire station was completed in April 2019, but the construction contractor is still completing warranty work related to the project.
The project was funded through a combination of sources, including the General Fund, Measure U Fund, South Natomas Facility Benefit Fund, and South Natomas Community Improvement Fund. The construction contract for the project was advertised to the City’s bid website, and awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, Simile Construction Services, Inc., on June 13, 2017. The original not to exceed amount for the construction contract was $5,951,000.
Change Orders No. 1 through No. 10 (totaling $446,250) were executed to address changed or unforeseen conditions, changes to bid documents, and City-initiated changes encountered during construction. These change orders have exhausted the City Manager’s authority to issue change orders on the contract. City staff in the Public Works Department, Facilities and Real Property Management division is now proposing Change Order No. 11 (in the amount of $135,084) to compensate the contractor under their general conditions for work related to intercepting an existing manhole and installing a new manhole in the new Fire Station 15 driveway.
Policy Considerations: The recommendations in this report are in accordance with the provisions of City Code Chapter 3.60.
Economic Impacts: This new infrastructure is expected to create 0.54 total jobs (0.31 direct jobs and 0.23 jobs through indirect and induced activities) and create $83,405 in total economic output ($52,571 of direct output and another $30,834 of output through indirect and induced activities).
The indicated economic impacts are estimates calculated using a calculation tool developed by the Center for Strategic Economic Research (CSER). CSER utilized the IMPLAN input-output model (2009 coefficients) to quantify the economic impacts of a hypothetical $1 million of spending in various construction categories within the City of Sacramento in an average one-year period. Actual impacts could differ significantly from the estimates and neither the City of Sacramento nor CSER shall be held responsible for consequences resulting from such differences.
Environmental Considerations: The Fire Station 15 project is exempt from environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15332, which provides an exemption from CEQA review for qualified infill projects. A Notice of Exemption was filed on February 16, 2017.
Sustainability: Not Applicable
Commission/Committee Action: None
Rationale for Recommendation: Change Order No. 11 to Contract No. 2017-0746 with Simile Constructions Services, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $135,084, is necessary to compensate the contractor for their general conditions work related to intercepting an existing manhole and installing a new manhole in the new Fire Station 15 driveway which was not included in their original scope of work. .
