Based on staff inspection and safety issue concerns, staff contracted a firm to shore the concrete beams with scaffolding on a temporary basis. Huitt-Zollars, loc., was contracted via the City's open-ended annual architectural services agreement, fio conduct on-site invesfigatians and provide corrective recommendations. Sedalco, L. P., was contracted to assist Huitt-Zollars by excavating the foundation and removing brick veneer and concrete slab areas. Huitt~Zollars recommended that the affected areas be barricaded immediately to prevent patrons from parking in these areas. The barricades blocked off 20 parking spaces on each floor. The Huitt-Zollars' report described serious structural issues including: rotation of the bearing wall; signs of web, flange, and bearing failure; and loosening, spalling, and failing of the embedded plates for the double tees. Huitt-Zollars was contracted to do the required design work. Due to the safety concerns presented by these problems, Sedalco, L. P., will be awarded an emergency construction contract for the repair work and expects to complete the work in 42 calendar days. The emergency contract for the repair work is $82,100. Under Texas Local Government Code §252.022, a procurement necessary because of unforeseen damage to public property is exempted from the competitive bid requirements.
