SUBJECT:
A Resolution approving the remodel of one of the Station 5 bathroom and the addition of a gender-neutral bathroom by F.H. Paschen in the amount of $299,686.68.
PURPOSE:
To obtain approval for the remodeling of the bathroom and addition of a gender-neutral bathroom at the Aurora Fire Station number 5.
BACKGROUND:
Aurora Fire Station 5 opened on 02/26/1990 and is 32 years old. The bathroom scheduled for remodeling is the original bathroom and is 32 years old. There have been only minor changes to the bathroom over the last 32 years (new faucets due to old ones no longer working, and some painting) other than that it is all original. Currently there are tiles that are coming off the walls and tiles popping up from the floor.
The remodel is also important as the Aurora Fire Department has hired several female firefighters. The current setup only has one facility with showers, this addition will increase functionality for all members of the department
DISCUSSION:
Through the City's Job Order Contracting Services Program, F.H. Paschen, S.N. Nielsen & Associates, LLC, (R20-221) we received a quote to remodel and add a Unisex bathroom. Per the JOC program, all contractors use the same RS Means scale to price the services, the City receives a 7% discount from the cost. The quote to remodel and add a Unisex bathroom at Aurora Fire Station 5 is for the total price of $299,686.68.
F.H. Paschen is using local vendors. Nedrow Decorating, Artlip and Sons, Floorguard, Paul Buddy Plumbing and FH Paschen Carpentry.
As part of the 2022 Capital Improvement Plan, the fire department has $215,000.00 available in account 354-3033-422.72-35 (C137). Due to price increases we are short $84,686.68. We will process a budget amendment in account 354-3033-422.72-35 to allow for the expenditure of additional bond funds to make up the shortfall.
