Council awards $1.08 million job order to repair ice-rink fire damage; insurer to remit funds
Summary
Council approved job order 251204-1 with Gordian for $1,078,455 (inclusive of GRT) to repair north-side fire damage to the youth and family center ice rink; staff said the New Mexico Self Insurers Fund will remit payment to the town and work will proceed under a purchase-order process.
Taos City Council approved job order number 251204-1 with Gordian to complete fire-damage repairs to the north side of the ice rink at the Youth and Family Center, in the amount of $1,078,455 (inclusive of gross receipts tax). The action follows damage assessment and procurement review with the New Mexico Self Insurers Fund.
Staff said the New Mexico Self Insurers Fund has approved the selection of Gordian and will issue payment to the town for the work; the town will then execute a purchase order and pay the contractor through milestone payments tied to completed phases. Town staff (interim parks/recreation and building supervisors) and the insurer’s adjuster will provide project oversight.
The council heard a project timeline and mobilization plan from staff. The contractor is expected to mobilize quickly after the purchase order is in place; staff described an anticipated 12-week construction timeline with week-by-week mobilization, demolition, smoke/odor remediation, reconstruction and final cleanup. Staff and the insurer's adjuster will monitor deliverables and disburse payments as benchmarks are met.
Nut graf: The job order was approved to expedite repairs after an insurance determination; staff expect the insurer to deliver funds promptly so the repair schedule will not be delayed by procurement timelines.
Ending: Councilors asked staff to keep them updated on mobilization dates and progress; staff said the insurer had cut the check and the project budget resolution will be returned to council to establish the fund in the next meeting cycle.
