From:Keith Abraham, Parks and Recreation Director
Date:February 21, 2025
Subject:Fitch Family Indoor Aquatic Center Monthly Update
Item No. 10
MEMO
PROJECT UPDATE:
In accordance with a previous directive, staff is required to keep the City Council
informed of the construction status of the Fitch Family Indoor Aquatic Center (FFIAC),
and will provide a written update at Council's second meeting of each month.
Additionally, staff, along with representatives from Story Construction and RDG
Planning and Design, will provide an in-person update once per quarter (January, April,
July, & October). If anything occurs during the project that requires Council action, staff
will present this in a timely manner. Therefore, the City's Construction Manager for the
project, Story Construction, has provided a Project Status Report (Attachment A).
Story Construction and RDG Planning and Design are 90% complete with reviewing
shop drawings and submittals. This activity will continue until 100% complete.
CHANGE ORDER SUMMARY:
There were four change orders recently approved which are highlighted on the
updated change order log shown as Attachment B. The recent change orders were
initiated by staff. Two of them (contracts with Core Construction and Hilsabek
Schacht) are credits due to changes made. Staff added some redundancy to the CO2
system which resulted in Sande Construction needing to add some additional piping.
The Lakeside change order is a result of staff wanting surface mounted signage
adjacent the sidewalk, as well as having the parking bollards powder coated rather
than being painted. Both of these items will reduce the need for ongoing
maintenance.
To date, change orders for the project total $251,029, or 1.4% of the construction
budget. The contingency for this project is $2.1 million with a current balance of
$1,848,971. There is also $1 million set aside for mitigation of contamination issues,
which has not been used at this time.
