INTRODUCTION
The enclosed resolution provides for the acceptance of the construction contract for the
National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium Rivers Center, Phase I -Roof
Replacement Project (Iowa DOT No. EDP-2100 (638)--7Y-31).
BACKGROUND
The National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium Rivers Center, Phase I -Roof
Replacement Project involved the adaptive use of the former Iowa Welcome Center and
the Diamond Jo Portside building at the Port of Dubuque by the National Mississippi
River Museum and Aquarium as part of the Phase II museum expansion and the
creation of the Great Rivers Center and Rivers to the Sea Exhibit facility.
The project consisted of the removal of existing fully-adhered, single-ply roof membrane
as well as all associated sheet metal flashings. Anew recovery board was installed
over the existing roof insulation and a new fully-adhered, single-ply membrane was
installed over the recovery board. New sheet metal flashings and thru-wall scuppers
and downspouts were also installed.
DISCUSSION
On October 20, 2009, three (3) competitive quotations were received for the National
Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium Rivers Center, Phase I -Roof Replacement
Project. Based on a competitive quotation process for public improvements in
accordance with Iowa Code, Section 26.14, the project was awarded to Geisler Brothers
Company of Dubuque, Iowa, in the amount of $39,840.
DISCUSSION
The National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium Rivers Center, Phase I -Roof
Replacement Project was completed by Geisler Brothers Company of Dubuque, Iowa,
in the final contract amount of $41,765.00, which is a 4.8% increase from the original
contract in the amount of $39,840.00.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council accept the improvements and authorize the payment
of the contract amount of $41,765.00 to Geisler Brothers Company for the National
Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium Rivers Center, Phase I -Roof Replacement
Project.
