File Attachment:
|
|
|
Rationale:
|
This is to authorize the initiation and completion of default proceedings against DOBTOL Construction, LLC., in compliance with Articles 38 “YPS Right to Declare Contractor in Default” and 40 “Exercise of the Right to Declare Default” of the contract.
The above contract was awarded by the Board of Trustees via Board Item 20.7 at their stated meeting on April 18, 2018. A notice to proceed was issued to DOBTOL on May 7, 2018. Work commenced and proceeded with some problems until late August where it became apparent that DOBTOL was not able to complete certain aspects of the contract, most notably the exterior doors at a rate needed to complete the construction work as per the contract schedule. Payment by DOBTOL to suppliers and subcontractors has also been an issue.
This default process has been undertaken under the advice of the Corporation Counsel’s office and Fuller and D’Angelo Architects, PC., serving as both designer and construction managers. The administration will be making claims against the performance and labor bonds for the completion of the work.
The original contract amount is $1,934,186.00 the amount authorized for payment to date is $1,621,236.00. The outstanding work includes but is not necessarily limited to the furnishing and installation of all of the building exterior doors. |
