PURPOSE:
City Council is requested to approve the following change order from Summers & Son Trucking & Grading for the removal and placement of soils at 125 Summit Ave. The structure was demolished as part of site preparations for the new Steve B. Tanger Performing Arts Center project.
BACKGROUND:
In preparation for construction of the Steve B. Tanger Performing Arts Center (STPAC) several downtown buildings had to be demolished. The building at 125 Summit Ave was part of the future footprint of the STPAC. This structure originally was a gas station and throughout the years was converted to various types of restaurants. This structure has been demolished by Summers & Son Trucking & Grading who were the lowest bidder and awarded the contract for demolition. The original contract (2014-0860) amount was Sixty Nine Thousand Dollars ($69,000.00)
During the course of demolition, four underground fuel storage tanks (identified in the Phase I Environmental Study) were uncovered. These tanks are from the original service station and held petroleum based products. Once underground storage tanks are uncovered they are to be removed and soils around them tested for leakage by current regulations. ECS Carolinas, LLP was contracted to perform all monitoring, soil testing of the site. The Impacted soil has been identified, removed and compactable fill material brought in. The change order amount is $69,126.43 and will raise the original contract amount of $69,000.00 to $138,126.43.
ECS Carolinas, LLP will file with the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Waste Management to recoup a portion of the cost that is eligible under the Underground Storage Tank Program (USTP) and these funds would be returned to the City.
BUDGET IMPACT:
This project is being funded by account number: 527-7501-01.6011.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
Coliseum staff recommends and requests that City Council approve the change order submitted by Summers & Son Trucking & Grading in the amount of $69,126.43.
