SUBJECT:
Development Services Center restoration
PURPOSE:
To restore the Basement and first Floor of the City of Aurora Development Services Center to operable condition.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Aurora Development Services Center (DSC), located at 77 South Broadway, Aurora, IL 60505, serves as the primary facility for City divisions such as Building & Permits, Property Standards, Planning & Zoning, Engineering, Economic Development, Fire Protection, and several others.
In 2021, a major water main break on Broadway between Downer Place and Benton Street resulted in significant flooding which caused extensive damage to the Development Services Center facility.
DISCUSSION:
Through the City's Job Order Contracting (JOC) program, F.H. Paschen, S.N. Nielsen, LLC, has proposed to restore the DSC facility for $698,478.21 (scope and proposal attached). A change in the flooring scope reduced the cost by $21,402.26 (proposal alternate #1) and for longevity, an upgrade in countertop material added $4,864.42 (proposal alternate #2). This results in a total project cost of $681,940.37. Additionally, a ten percent (10%) project contingency is requested in the amount of $68,194.03.
The City previously received insurance proceeds of $445,105 for the flood damage at the Development Services Center Facility. The City will utilize these proceeds and $305,030 (if the entire amount of the contingency is expended) from the Risk Insurance Fund reserves to account for the expenditure of the funds. We will need a budget amendment to line 601-0000-410.40-78 (DNTN16) to account for the expenditures for the flood repair project.
FH Paschen, S.N. Nielsen, LLC is not indebted to the City.
IMPACT STATEMENT:

RECOMMENDATIONS:
I recommend that the Auror...
