Koch, Public Works Director CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA MEMORANDUM April 29, 2002 TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Michael A. Koch, Public Works Director SUBJECT: Woodward Museum- 2002 Renovations Project INTRODUCTION The enclosed resolutions authorize the public bidding procedure for the multiple construction contracts associated with the Woodward Museum - 2002 Renovations Project. BACKGROUND The Dubuque County Historical Society (DCHS) and the City, as the local sponsor, secured a Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) Grant awarded by the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT): Through discussions with the Iowa DOT, DCHS and City staff, it was determined that the project would be more efficiently managed and would have more local participation if the project could be bid locally through the City of Dubuque. The Iowa DOT will allow local bidding of a TEA-21 project if the project elements being bid are estimated to cost less than $100,000 each. To achieve this, the Woodward Museum - 2002 Renovations Project was separated into six (6) individual projects. The City entered into a supplemental agreement with the Iowa DOT for local bidding of all six (6) individual projects through the City's bidding process. Since this is a State/Federal funded project, the Dubuque County Historical Society was required to submit a request to the State for concurrence and authorization to proceed. The DCHS has submitted a final draft of the construction documents, including project plans, specifications and probable cost estimates for the Woodward Museum - 2002 Renovations Project to both the State Historical Preservation office and the Iowa DOT for approval. To date, the City and the DCHS have received written authorization to proceed on the six (6) individual contract components. Due to the complexity of the project and the immediate proximity to the Mississippi River Discovery Center site, Conlon Construction has been hired directly by the Dubuque County Historical Society to provide construction management, coordination and inspection for all six (6) projects. DISCUSSION As stated, the project has been separated into six (6) individual projects, and are summarized as follows: Contract No.1 - Masonry Tuckpointing The masonry tuckpointing will include the removal of the existing painted signage, tuckpointing of the existing brick and the replacement of damaged masonry units. Contract No.2 - Roof & Gutters/Downspouts The roof and gutters/downspouts will include the removal of existing roofing materials on the one-story section, installation of new built-up roofing on the one-story section, repair of the built-up roof on the two-story section and installation of new pre-finished metal gutters and downspouts throughout. Contract No.3 - Carpentry The carpentry work shall include the removal of the metal panels on the one-story windows, replacement of broken glass in the one-story windows, restoration of all existing windows, installation of storm windows on the second floor windows and construction of bulkheads/chases to conceal fire sprinkler piping in the two-story section. Contract No.4 - HVAC The HVAC work shall include the modifications to the existing equipment and controls to assist in controlling the humidity levels throughout the structure. Contract No.5 - Plumbing and Sprinkler The plumbing and sprinkler work will include the installation of a fire sprinkler system throughout the building and the removal of existing plumbing fixtures in one of the existing restrooms. Contract No.6 - Electrical The electrical work shall include the installation of a new smoke and heat detection system throughout the building including the attic space and the associated modifications to the electrical circuitry.
