BACKGROUND On April 16, 1985, (M&C C-8958) the City Council authorized a contract with Ward Bogard and Associates, Inc. for design of the project which included renovation of the facility for use by the lessee and restoration of the structure in accordance with the requirements of the state standards for historical buildings. Because of a need for the bui 1 di ng to be completed by May 1, 1986, plans and specifications for Phase I of the project for work on the exterior of the building were prepared and released for bidding on August 29, 1985. Two bids were received from Ed Wilson and Shoemaker Southwest. The low bid by Ed Wilson was $475,000 or 43% over the estimated cost of $1,100,000. The architect recomrended rejecting both bids and combining Phase I with Phase II and rebidding, making the project more attractive to prospective bidders. The City staff concurred. During design of the facility, it was discovered that there was insufficient property to house the boiler and chiller required for heating and air- conditioning of the Coliseum without disrupting the master plan at the Stockyards area. The engineer for the Triad Corporation calculated the requirements for the Coliseum and the Exhibits Building being renovated by Triad and recommended combining the equipment needed by the two facilities into one Central Plant to be built by Triad and the City on property purchased y , DATE 12/3/85 REFERENCE SUBJECT CONTRACT FOR THE COWTOWN COLISEU NUMBER RESTORATION AND PARTICIPATION IN C-9384 CENTRAL PLANT PAGE 2 of 3 adjacent to the facility by the Triad Corporation. The cost of the combined Central Plant would thus be less for each facility than providing separate systems for each building. The calculation indicated the Coliseum would use 60% of the Central Plant capacity and the Exhibits Building would require 40%. The plans and specifications were completed and approved for release to bidders for Phase I and II of the project on October 3, 1985. CONSTRUCTION BIDS• The project was advertised on October 10 and 17, 1985. In addition, a notice to bidders was mailed to forty-five general contractors. Eleven general contractors obtained bid documents. Four bids were received on November 17, 1985 as follows• Contractor Base Bid Alt 1 - 8 Total Bid OeMoss Company $2,510,000 $278,000 $2,788,000 Shoemaker Southwest 2,888,000 375,000 3,263,000 Martin K. Eby 3,020,000 277,100 3,297,100 Nico Industries 3,100,000 367,330 3,467,330 Even though no time limitation was specified in the bidding documents only Nico Industries bid the 150 days needed to complete the project by May 1, 1986. The DeMoss Company was contacted to ascertain what extra costs they would encounter by reducing their bid from 310 to 150 days. Their calculations amounted to $262,375. The resultant cost of $3,050,375 is still $212,625 below the next low bidder. The alternates listed above in the low bid include 1. 'Replacement of the courtyard concrete pavement. $36,000 2. Exterior repair of the Ticket Building. 31,000 3. Landscaping and irrigation in the courtyard. 13,000 4. Installation of a North Bell Tower to restore the building to its original design. 19,000 5.

There also is the possibility that additional funds will be needed for change orders as the project construction proceeds. Existing conditions in an old building may require changes which can not be anticipated prior to uncovering of the condition. FINANCING Sufficient funds are available in the General Fund Balance to provide for a supplemental appropriation ordinance appropriating $1,211,274 to General Fund Non-Departmental Account No. 90-87-00. Funds would then be transferred from this account to Northside Coliseum Fund No. 20, Project No. 021100-00. After transfer of the $1,211,274, total funds available in Fund 20 for this project will be $3,760,700.
