BACKGROUND:
On October 18, 2011, City Council approved plans and specifications Manhattan Heights Community Center and Begg Pool Locker Room renovations. On November 1, 2011, City Council approved plans and specifications for the Joslyn Center Renovation Project. Staff combined the three renovation projects into a single bid package. On December 6, 2011, City Council passed a motion authorizing the City Manager to:
1. Award a contract in the amount of $3,173,000.00 to Harbor Construction Co., Inc. for the Joslyn Center, Begg Pool and Manhattan Heights Community Center Renovation Projects;

4. Appropriate additional Capital Improvement Funds in the amount of $1,678,145 for the Joslyn Center, Begg Pool and Manhattan Heights Community Center Renovation Projects
The Contractor started work on January 23, 2012.
DISCUSSION:
The Contractor has completed all items with the exception of a portion of the flooring at the Joslyn Center and fire alarm systems at the Joslyn Center and Manhattan Heights Community Center. The Begg Pool Locker Room has been completed and is use.
The City has rejected a portion of the linoleum flooring installation at the Joslyn Center for the second time. Previously, the entire Joslyn Center flooring installation was rejected. The tiles were removed and reinstalled by the contractor using cleaned up tile and a different surface preparation and adhesive than the original tile placed by Harbor. The City hired a certified flooring inspector to inspect the flooring and perform tests to determine a course of action for the flooring. The flooring at Manhattan Heights has been accepted by the City.
The Contractor has submitted a request for Progress Payment No. 6 in the amount of $482,069.98 for work completed to date. All work items covered by this payment have been reviewed by the Public Works Department and found to be in conformance with the plans and specifications. The recommended payment includes full payment for flooring at the Manhattan Height Community Center and half payment for flooring at the Joslyn Center.
