Authorization To Execute Fourth Contract Amendment With Ebert, Inc. dba Ebert Companies For Law Enforcement Center Integrative Health Unit Addition
end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize execution of a fourth and final contract amendment with Ebert, Inc., dba Ebert Companies for the construction of the Law Enforcement Center's (LEC) Integrative Health Unit (IHU) Addition. Board action is required as the value of total amendments after initial authorization of the contract execution exceeds a policy limit of $250,000.
SUMMARY
The LEC IHU Addition project has been under construction for 18 months and is now complete. The construction contract was awarded to Ebert Companies in the sum of $10,573,800 by Resolution No. 23-379 (August 29, 2023). Three contract amendments have already been executed, which changed the completion date and included $510,148.94 in increased work. This fourth and final proposed set of changes totals $290,512.87 and requires Board approval because it exceeds the extended limit of the original contract authority. The proposed items are enumerated in Attachment: Summary List of Changes for Fourth Amendment.
In this action, staff is requesting a fourth contract amendment with Ebert Companies in the sum of $290,512.87 for construction improvements made at the LEC IHU for County Board authorization. These cost increases to the construction contract will be paid for with reserved funds remaining within the original project budget. This amount is slightly less than was forecasted in the last Board action for this contract. The last engineer's estimate for construction including post-award changes was $11,800,000. Following this final amendment, construction will be completed roughly $425,000 under budget.
