Summary

The council authorized a contract for exterior stucco repair and repainting at the city-owned museum using a Sourcewell cooperative purchase; the contract award carried a 4–0 vote and staff were authorized to approve change orders up to 10%.

Public works staff described a proposed exterior rehabilitation project at the city‑owned museum at 310 South Green Street and asked the council to award a contract for stucco repairs and exterior painting.

Staff said the city used Sourcewell (a cooperative purchasing service) to solicit pricing and that California law authorizes participation in cooperative purchasing agreements that meet procurement requirements. The recommended contract identified Angeles Construction Inc. as the selected contractor under Sourcewell contract CAR8GB101723-ACI. Public works staff reviewed the work scope, which includes removing failing stucco, re‑coating and repainting the exterior, and coordinating with the volunteer nonprofit that manages interior museum operations, the Heritage League.

Staff recommended awarding the contract and asked the council to authorize the city manager to approve change orders up to 10 percent of the contract amount. Council members asked technical questions about whether the stucco finish would match the existing texture and whether an elastomeric paint product would be used; staff said the intent is to keep the finish similar and that product selection would be incorporated into the contractor’s specified work and verified by staff.

The council voted to award the contract and authorized the city manager to approve change orders up to the stated percentage; the motion carried on a 4–0 vote.

The agenda and discussion referenced cooperating with the Chattahoochee (Heritage) League volunteers for access and scaffolding, and staff said they will coordinate removal or relocation of some historical mining equipment stored behind the building to allow scaffolding to be erected.
