Board approves Scicon change order to repair vandalism at South Street parking ramp
Summary
The Board approved a $41,714 change order with Scicon to repair vandalism at the South Street parking ramp, replacing glass blocks and installing more indestructible materials. Staff said the Scicon quote was lower than a prior hourly contractor estimate.
Waukesha city staff recommended a contract change order with Scicon to make structural repairs at the South Street parking ramp after repeated vandalism. The work includes replacing glass block with concrete block and upgrading windows and doors to more indestructible materials.
Staff said Scicon’s quote for the change order is $41,714, which staff described as lower than a previously quoted amount from an hourly contractor. A board member asked whether vandals are being caught and whether restitution is sought; staff said juveniles are sometimes apprehended and the city pursues restitution through juvenile court when possible.
The board voted to approve the Scicon change order so repairs can proceed quickly and reduce ongoing vandalism and safety risks at the ramp.
