Summary

Mayor told the council the city will hire Stephen Ward & Associates for up to $18,750 to perform an independent building-envelope analysis for the Irondale Civic Center renovation after contractor-identified exterior damage; the study will guide repair options and cost estimates.

The mayor reported that during preparation of exterior work on the Irondale Civic Center contractors observed possible damage that was not identified in initial plans. To obtain an independent assessment, the city proposed hiring Stephen Ward & Associates for up to $18,750 to study building-envelope issues, identify damage locations and recommend options for remediation.

Mayor Stewart said the selection was based on the firm's reputation and that the independent report would help the city weigh options for repair without relying on the project management team, general contractor or architect. The council left the item on consent and will await the consultant's report to determine the next steps for the renovation project.
