RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve Change Order #1 to allow for remedial structural work on the front facade along with additional architectural and engineering services in the amount of$12,725.00 for the property at 217-219 National Street. BACKGROUND In October 2003, a Facade Improvement project was approved to restore the front and rear facade of the property at 217-219 National Street, owned by Mr. Rodney Cavitt. The building is located in the National Street corridor between Raymond Street and Wellington Avenue and was built at the turn of the last century. The property was eligible for funding under the State & National Street Facade Improvement Program which offers property owners a grant of 50% of the cost of exterior facade improvements up to a maximum of$100,000.00. The scope of work approved in 2003 included restoration of the front and rear facade of the building, addressing such items as restoring the storefronts to their original configuration, masonry cleaning, tuckpointing, window and door replacement, exterior lighting, and canopy treatments. On the rear of the building a non-original addition to the building was proposed to be removed and the rear stairs and deck reinstated. The building was also proposed to be made accessible through the construction of a new ramp on the front elevation. The total cost of the project amounted to $146,626.70,with the City's participation at 50% amounting to $73,313.35. The City had also obtained the services of Greg Bema of Berna Architects and Design of Elgin to develop the drawings and specifications, along with a cost estimate for the project which would enable the property owners to bid out and obtain the minimum two required bids for the work. As part of the program, architectural services were paid for by the City($13,589.00). Facade—217-219 National Street—Change Order#1 September 17,2004 Page 2 Work is currently under way on the project. However, after removing the non-original front fagade that covered the original structure, it was determined that the masonry structure below grade holding up the fagade was considerably deteriorated and the structural steel columns and beams had failed. The architect, Mr. Greg Berna of Berna Architects and Design has provided a detailed report on the existing condition of the footing and recommended that a complete structural assessment for remediation be provided by a certified structural engineer. The total additional cost for reconstruction of the front fagade is estimated at $19,450.00, requesting an additional City participation at 50% of $9,725.00. The cost of additional architectural and engineering services amounts to $3,000.00, which is fully reimbursed by the Fagade Improvement Program. COMMUNITY GROUPSANTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED The property at 217-219 National Street is located within the Elgin National Watch Historic District. The Elgin Heritage Commission's Design Review Subcommittee has reviewed and approved the work proposed to the property, and issued a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA). FINANCIAL IMPACT The proposed change order for the project will be charged to Project No. 079832 and will amount to $12,725.00. The 2004 budget in the State & National Street Fagade Improvement Program funded in account number 275-0000-791.78-99, Other Rehab Loans/Grants, currently shows a balance of$50,000.00. If the change order is approved, the City's total participation will amount to $99,627.35. LEGAL IMPACT The existing agreements between the City of Elgin and property owners at 217-219 National Street, along with the architect,Berna Architects and Design will need to be amended. ALTERNATIVES 1. Approve Change Order #1 to allow for additional structural work on the front fagade along with additional architectural and engineering services in the amount of$12,725.00 for the property at 217-219 National Street. 2. Reject the requested Change Order#1. Respectfully Submitted for Council consideration. SBS/sr Attachments
