Body
Background:
The project to replace windows and paint the exterior portion of the Community Center was added as a capital improvement project beginning in the FY 2016-17 budget. After receiving informal quotes for the windows and consulting with the City’s Historical Consultant, staff determined that the windows could not be replaced because of the historical stipulations. At this time, staff was also informed that the building needed to be restored to the original colors in order to preserve the buildings historical significance. Staff retained the services of Environmental Science Associates (ESA) to determine what colors Community Center would be painted and the results of the historical study were presented to Public Works Commission for review during its May 17, 2017 meeting.
The Community Center General Improvements - Phase III consists of:
• Painting of all exterior surfaces, doors and minor repairs/architectural work, remediation of exterior lead-based paint areas as required;
• Painting of all interior surfaces; includes all interior classrooms and hallways; restrooms, Senior Activity Center, any exposed conduit and offices as well as moldings, handrails and door frames; excludes storage rooms, 2nd Story Theater, Community Theater and the gymnasium;
• Review/Replace HVAC system in Theater (or components as needed); and
• Resurface all Community Center tennis courts.

On June 28, 2018, a Request for Bid to paint the exterior and interior of the Community Center was advertised in the Easy Reader and sent to several painting contractors. A total of 13 bids were received and opened on July 31, 2018 with the following results:
Company Cost
1. TL Veterans Construction Inc. $129,000
2. Anemos Enterprises $140,000
3. Dulux Painting $155,000

Staff reviewed the lowest bidder’s documents and found them to be responsive. A check of references revealed that services were provided in a satisfactory manner. A second walkthrough was conducted with TL Veterans Painting to ensure a thorough understanding of the project scope of work and to emphasize scheduling challenges.
During a site visit of the building, it was noted that there is a likelihood to encounter damaged wood requiring replacement during pre-paint preparations. Staff recommends a 20% contingency in the amount of $25,800 for the project to reduce delays, allowing for timely completion of the work.
