<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />REHLER <br />M'~ <br />IO)NE~ <br />~ <br /> <br />May 11, 1978 <br /> <br />Kathy Morris, Chairman <br />Scheib Opportunity Center <br />P. O. Box 248 <br />San Marcos, Texas 78666 <br /> <br />Re: Construction Contract for Scheib Opportunity Center <br /> <br />KATHY, I would like to bring you up to date on the progress toward <br />awarding a construction contract for your new center. <br /> <br />As you know, because of the extremely h~gh wage rate determination required <br />by the Department of Labor and because of the lack of interest from local <br />general contractors, the original bids for the project were considerably <br />over our last projected estimate (the low, bid being $258,900.00 from, <br />Lamar Constructors of San Antonio). At your request, we have worked with <br />the low bidder to revise the plans in order to reduce the overall cc,st of <br />the project. These plan revisions have produced a total deduction of <br />$29,539.00, leaving a general contract price of $229,361. 00 (the total <br />available construction funds). A copy of the revised EDA budget is <br />enclosed for your review. ' <br /> <br />I would like to again point' out that the plan reV1S10ns made to the project <br />necessitated leaving several areas ,in the building unfinished, deleting many <br />nyededitems such as the covered entrance canopy, and a reduction in the <br />overall quality of the building finishes. At an additional cost of <br />$11,588.00 and with the City providing labor 'and eqmpment tor the sitework <br />ort 'the proJect; thebu1ldmg 'can be 'hn1shed throughout w1th the qual1ty <br />originally spec1t1ed. <br /> <br />We therefore recommend that a construction contract be awarded to <br />Lamar Constructors of San Antonio for a contract price of $229,361.00. <br />We also strongly recommend ,that if additional funds can be obtained, a <br />change order be signed which adds $11,588.00 to the contract amount and <br />provides that the City supply labor and equipment for the site work. <br />tJY.ieS f these proposeddocuments,are also enclosed for your revie'.,. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Michael Beaty <br /> <br /> <br />:jr <br />enc <br /> <br />sc: Albert Sierra, Director of Community Development <br />-t1ty Councilmen <br />84 NORTHEAST LOOP 410 / SUITE 180 WEST / SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS /78216/512-349-1106 <br />
