CONTACT: Michael Kowski, Director of Parks and Recreation
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
• Approve the recommendation to City Council.
ITEM SUMMARY:
• This Resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute a $112,000.00 contract increase with North Rock Construction, related to the installation of the splash pad at Prestwyck Park.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• North Rock Construction was approved by City Council as the Construction Contractor for Prestwyck Neighborhood Park on October 6, 2020.
• An allowance of $300,000 for the splash pad was budgeted in the October 6, 2020 agenda item with the intent that the splash pad would be purchased and installed through the BuyBoard Purchasing Cooperative at a discounted price with an initial quote of $286,303 ($111,859 for the product + $174,444 installation cost).
• Installation was not attainable through the BuyBoard Purchasing Cooperative therefore the Parks Department requested that North Rock Construction provide a proposal for the installation of the splash pad as part of their construction contract. North Rock submitted a proposal to install it themselves for $111,946.05, which provides a savings of $62,497.95 from the initial $174,444 BuyBoard installation quote.
• This contract amendment will allow North Rock to install the splash pad themselves and avoid the coordination logistics with a 3rd party installer.
• The park is located at 1617 Prestwick Hollow Drive, McKinney, Texas 75071.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
• The Resolution authorizes the City Manager to execute a contract amendment to the existing Construction Agreement for construction services with North Rock Construction, LLC in an amount not to exceed $112,000.
• With this amendment, the total contract will be $2,745,195.86. This amendment does not increase the overall project budget.
• The Prestwyck Neighborhood Park (PK1643) is a FY19-20 Capital Improvements Program funded by MCDC funds and Parkland Dedication Funds Zone 3 and funds are currently available for this contract amendment.
• Upon approval of this agenda item, $104,176.69 will remain in project PK1643.
