CONSIDER ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 17-24-CHA TO ADD CONTINGENCY FUNDS FOR THE DEMOLITION PROJECT: RFP P17-17 FOR DEMOLITION OF HOUSING AUTHORITY-OWNED PROPERTY LOCATED AT 21723-21725 FIGUEROA STREET (HOUSING AUTHORITY)
Body
I. SUMMARY
On July 12, 2017, a public bid was held through the on-line bidding system Planet Bids for the "Demolition Project at 21723-21725 Figueroa Street: RFP P17-17," for demolition of Housing Authority-owned property located at 21723-21725 Figueroa Street (Site) (Exhibit No.1). This project is for the demolition of three vacant structures, and includes asbestos and lead-based paint abatement. Interior Demolition, Inc. was the selected bidder with a bid amount of $47,168. On July 18, 2017 the contract was approved with an additional $7,075 for construction contingencies.

A change order was submitted by Interior Demolition after the asbestos survey was corrected by Ninyo and Moore, the asbestos consultant (Asbestos Consultant). The change order absorbed all funds set aside for contingencies; therefore, an additional amount of $8,000 is being requested to cover any contingencies that may arise during demolition. Due to the time-sensitive nature of the contracting work, Staff did not want to delay the project by returning to the Housing Authority for additional funds if an unforeseen problem arose during demolition.
