Council OKs nearly $188,000 in change orders to repair fireproofing, bring building into code compliance
Summary
Resolution 25‑R‑3029 authorized change orders totaling just under $188,000 to address fireproofing that fell from a ceiling and other code‑related repairs; council approved the measure unanimously.
Riverside City Council approved Resolution 25‑R‑3029 to authorize payments for change orders related to building repairs, including required removal and replacement of falling fireproofing and related code compliance work. The total presented to council was just under $188,000; the largest single component — fireproofing replacement — accounted for a reported amount in the low‑to‑mid $130,000 range.
City staff explained the work was mandatory to return the facility to code and that simply vacuuming debris was not adequate because of sprinklering and building construction. Other items in the change orders included electrical circuit isolation to improve security and resiliency, installation of a timed circuit for an exterior charging station and additional painting and touch‑up work.
Council had no further discussion and approved the change orders by voice vote. The clerk recorded the motion and the mayor declared the motion carried.
Clarifying details: the fireproofing scope and cost were described as the primary driver of the change orders; staff characterized the remainder as smaller, remedial items to improve safety and functionality. No separate funding source was specified in the discussion; the manager presented the change orders as needed repairs and asked for authorization to proceed.
The council did not request additional reporting dates during the meeting, but the change orders will be executed under existing construction contracts and purchasing procedures.
