Further request to authorize execution of amendments to the agreement as necessary within the Council-approved expenditure authority as provided below, and for the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item.
Report
Summary
The purpose of this project is to upgrade the existing Material Recovery Facility (MRF). The facility was originally commissioned in 1998 and additions to the facility and limited upgrades were made in 2013, but the essential equipment and associated facility infrastructure remained the same. Over 20 years of use as a municipal recycling facility has caused significant wear on the MRF area infrastructure and revolutionary advances in automated recycling equipment during that time has led to the need for a significant upgrade in the area intended to house the new state-of-the-art equipment currently contracted with Machinex. Installation will happen in the fall of 2023 with a start up in the spring of 2024.
This amendment is necessary to provide all of the infrastructure upgrades to support the new operation. The upgrades include: a new electrical distribution system; extensive structural concrete systems and large-scale floor replacements; mechanical system upgrades; fire alarm system modifications; and complete lighting system modifications. Use of a Job Order Contract (JOC) construction services contract allows the City to address the specialized aspects of the project and timeline requirements to ensure that the facility experiences minimal down time to recycling operations. This amendment will allow for issuance of a job order agreement to McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. for an amount not to exceed $6 million for the 27th Avenue MRF replacement project building upgrade requirements.
Contract Term
The term of the agreement remains unchanged. Work scope identified and incorporated into the agreement prior to the end of the term may be agreed to by the parties and work may extend past the termination of the agreement. No additional changes may be executed after the end of the term.
Financial Impact
The initial master agreement for Job Order Contracting Services was approved for an amount not to exceed $15 million, including all subcontractor and reimbursable costs. The agreement value for this JOC remains unchanged.
Funding for this amendment is available in the Public Works Department's Capital Improvement Program budget. The Budget and Research Department will separately review and approve funding availability prior to execution of any job order agreements. Payments may be made up to agreement limits for all rendered agreement services, which may extend past the agreement termination.
