Rationale: This is to award a general construction contract as referenced above as per the attached emergency declaration issued by the Superintendent on October 22, 2019. Bids are not required under an emergency declaration. The level of difficulty with the specified repairs and the full schedule of work precludes this work being done with in-house forces.
Mengler Mechanical Inc. was selected because of they have an acceptable work history with the District with low bid work, past emergency declarations and is performing the HVAC & Plumbing contract work for CIP 10816 at School 9.
Under the direction of Engineer Eisenbach & Ruhnke Mengler Mechanical Inc. was directed to demolish the collapsing chimney flue, repair the interior masonry chimney shaft-way and to abate/clean hazardous pigeon waste in HVAC shaft-ways. Originally the chimney work was estimated by SFM to be $150,000 and the pigeon abatement to be $25,000. Actual construction costs were higher than estimated due additional costs associated with SFM directing the chimney restoration work be performed on overtime 2nd shift work and double time Sunday work to avoid the risk in not having heat in time for the early fall cold weather and during the course of abating the pigeon waste additional shaft-ways were discovered to contain pigeon waste which required additional abatement.
