Home My WebLink AboutA055 - June 24, 2025, Regular Meeting of the Ames City CouncilTo:Mayor and City Council From:Keith Abraham, Parks and Recreation Director Date:June 24, 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. In accordance with this directive, 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 96% complete with reviewing shop drawings and submittals. This activity will continue until 100% complete. CHANGE ORDER SUMMARY: There were five change orders recently approved, and the changes thus far on the project are shown on the change order log (Attachment B). The five change orders are shown below: Contractor Change Amount Core Construction Channel Support $3,739 Forrest & Associates Channel Support $1,163 Lansink Construction Wood Blocking $ 752 Central States Roofing Roofing Over Hollow Core $5,116 Hilsabek Schacht Precast Pocket Covers $2,598 The following is the list of the recnt change orders: City Clerk's Office 515.239.5105 main 515.239.5142 fax 515 Clark Ave. P.O. Box 811 Ames, IA 50010 www.CityofAmes.org 1 1) To keep the project moving, an interior masonry wall was constructed prior to the building being enclosed for cold weather. As a result, a crack developed due to the fluctuation in temperatures. 2) Wood blocking was added to wall support to provide more space for wires. 3) There were concerns with the unevenness of the roofing membrane over the hollow core concrete ceiling in the mechanical and electrical room. Staff directed Central States Roofing to make sure the final surface was quality, level, and will avoid punctures, thus the additional cost. 4) Staff did not like the look of the precast pockets and directed Hilsabek Schacht to add covers to these areas. To date, change orders for the project total $264,833, or 12.61% of the contingency budget. The contingency for this project is $2.1 million with a current balance of $1,835,167. There is also $1 million set aside for mitigation of contamination issues, which has not been used at this time.
