Res 17.6 March 2016.pdf
Rationale: Via Resolution 17.6 at their stated meeting on March 16, 2016 the Board of Trustees awarded requirements contract to Eisenbach & Ruhnke Engineering, P.C. (E&R) for an amount now totaling and not to exceed $1.0 million. Today’s resolution is to assign the subject capital work under that contract.
E&R will be providing the environmental monitoring, sampling testing and oversight of the asbestos abatement work at School 9 required for the replacement of the school boiler plant and heating systems, flooring systems and restoration of interior finishes known to contain asbestos.
This Task was not issued for RFP due the Consultant’s history and knowledge of the project. E&R was the prime architect, engineer and environmental consultant who developed the designs for the project. It was apparent that issuing an RFP would not be cost/time effective.
FOCUS POPULATION: The stakeholders of the School #9.
ASSESSMENT PROCESS: School Facilities Management will be inspecting the contractor’s work and monitoring the construction schedule through on-site inspections, daily progress meetings and record keeping.
PERSON ADMINISTERING CONTRACT: John P. Carr, P.E., Executive Director of School Facilities Management Department.
Funding: B5509CP110816.B17C01.B2040A1620 $35,000.00 LCBF
