RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council•
1. adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance, appropriating an
additional $306,300 to the General Fund, Fund O1, Non-departmental Account
90-91-00, and decreasing the Unreserved Undesignated Fund Balance of the
General Fund by $306,300;
2, authorize the City Manager to approve the transfer of $306,300 from
General Fund O1, Non-departmental Account 90-91-00 to Municipal Service
Improvement Fund 33, Project 00410?, Emergency Structural Repairs;
3, authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Pinnacle
Consultants, Inc., for the evaluation of the structural condition of the
Municipal Office Building for an amiount not to exceed $156,300, and,
4, authorize the City Manager to execute a contract wits Southwestern
Laboratories, Inc,, for the on-site testing of the structural components
of the Municipal Office Building to be performed in coordination with the
structural evaluation indicated above for an amount not to exceed
$150,000
BACKGROUND
During the process of completing the construction of the third floor, serious
defects were discovered in the main structural beams and roof system above the
City Council Chambers. On July 14, 1987 (M&C C-10410), the City Council
authorized the City Manager to execute several ernergency contracts and
amendments to existing contracts to evaluate, design, construct and inspect
work required to repair these defects. This work is presently underway and is
approximately 70% complete.
Duriny the demolition of the roof beams and surrounding roof elements,
additional serious construction defectsbecame evident. Due to the uncovering of
these new defects, the fact that sirnil ar construction exists throughout the
Municipal Office Building, and that the City will be occupying new space in
this building (loading the entire third floor, as well as the remainder of the
structure) for the very first time, staff and consultants believe it prudent to
perform an analysis of the structural condition of the entire building to
determine its true capacity. _
To this end, staff and consultants have developed a comprehensive project
which would allow for the complete analysis of this building and provide a
detailed report of its findings. The consultant engineer, Pinnacle Consultants,
Inc., would be employed to provide the complete project coordination, between

9-1-87 C-10499 of
engineers and consultants working out of its own office. The on-site testing
will be performed by Southwestern Laboratories, Inc. The total project cost, as
proposed by these firms would be split--$156,300 for the engineer and $150,000
for the testing laboratory. However, these are proposed maximum limits for
these contracts. Each firm was requested to provide quotations on a unit price
basis so that a more limited project scope could be utilized. This limited
project would entail approaching the. evaluation and analysis of findings on a
statistical sampling basis. Slafficient samples will be taken of suspected
trouble lareas and generally throughout the building, that a universal
conclusion care be reached about the building's structural condition, without
completing the entire study, nor incurring the full expense of the contracts.
Should these findings indicate that a broader sample base is necessary, or that
there are significant variances between building as-built drawings and
as-constructed conditions, the proposed contracts will facilitate expanding the
scope of the study without securing amendments to these contracts or impeding
the progress of the work.
It is hoped that the findings of this analysis will show that generally the
nature of the structure is sound. However,"there is a possibility that this
evaluation will show that additional repairs will be necessary to other parts
of the facility. But again, staff and consultants do not expect these repairs
to be of the magnitude that was necessary to the roof structure over the City
Council Chambers.
FINANCING
A supplemental appropriation in the amount of $306, 300 will be necessary to
fund these contracts. A transfer to the Municipal Service Improvements Fund 33,
Project 004102, Emergency Structural Repairs will then be necessary. 'The
General Fund Unreserved, Undesignated Fund Balance will then be $21,329,000
ater this supplemental appropriation.
