Subcommittee backs $893,000 amendment to Laguna Honda construction management contract
Summary
The committee recommended approval of a nearly $900,000 modification to the construction management services agreement for the Laguna Honda Hospital replacement program to extend services for Wing H remodel and seismic upgrades; DPW and the budget analyst said the work was budgeted and continuity of inspectors justified a modification rather than rebidding.
The Department of Public Works sought committee approval to amend the construction management services agreement for the Laguna Honda Hospital replacement program, increasing the contract by about $893,000 to raise the not‑to‑exceed amount from approximately $15.3 million to $16.2 million. John Thomas (DPW) said the modification provides continued construction management and inspection services as the project moves into the Wing H remodel phase, including seismic and systems upgrades, with anticipated completion in 2012.
The budget analyst noted the increase represents roughly a 5.8% change and observed the original agreement was competitively awarded. Supervisor Jane Kim asked why the work was not rebid; DPW explained the need for consistent inspectors of record and continuity of specialized staff, and confirmed funding was available within the program's professional services budget. The committee opened for public comment (none) and advanced the item to the full Board with a recommendation.
Next steps: The resolution was forwarded to the Board; DPW will continue to manage the contract and provide the committee with project status.
