Intro
RESOLUTION NO. 18028, November 19, 2012
INTRODUCED BY Bob Spence and Dennis Waits, County Legislator
Body
WHEREAS, by Ordinance 4093, dated March 9, 2009, the Legislature did authorize the restoration of the exterior of the Historic Truman Courthouse and its grounds to its 1933 appearance; and,
WHEREAS, because of the need for additional space for the Circuit Court in the Courthouse Annex in Independence, it is desirable that some County operations be relocated to the Historic Truman Courthouse, utilizing vacant office space there for the Collection, Assessment, Communications, and Recorder of Deeds Departments; and,
WHEREAS, by Resolution 17792, dated January 23, 2012, the Legislature did authorize an agreement with Piper-Wind Architects, Inc., of Kansas City, MO, for architectural design services for the renovation of the interior of the Historic Truman Courthouse; and,
WHEREAS, by Resolution 17910, dated June 4, 2012, the Legislature did authorize an agreement with B&R Insulation Inc., of Lenexa, KS, for the furnishing of abatement and remediation of hazardous materials from the building; and,
WHEREAS, the abatement project is complete and the architect has now finalized the design plans and specifications for the renovation; and,
WHEREAS, the Director of Public Works solicited proposals for this project on Bid No. PW 05-2012 and received ten submissions thereon, with the three lowest bids as follows:
BIDDER BID
Universal Construction Co. $4,900,000.00

and,
WHEREAS, an evaluation committee made up of representatives from the Public Works Department, the Executive Offices, and the architect, reviewed the bids and recommend the award of the contract to Universal Construction Co., of Lenexa, KS, as the lowest and best bidder; and,
WHEREAS, the bid package included $100,000.00 for contingencies, however, because the budget for this project is tight, this contingency has been eliminated, reducing Universal's bid to $4,800,000.00; and,
WHEREAS, Universal has signed an acknowledgement that this project will be completed under a Project Labor Agreement; now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the County Legislature of Jackson County, Missouri, that award be made as recommended by the Acting Director of Public Works, and that the County Executive be, and is hereby, authorized to execute for the County any documents necessary to the accomplishment of the award; and,
