Fairborn awards renovation contract to consolidate finance and city offices

Council approved Resolution No. 24-13 authorizing a contract with Brumbaugh Construction, Inc. to renovate existing space in the Government Center to house a consolidated Finance Department and better utilize underused municipal space.

Alicia Eckhart, Parks and Recreation Superintendent, reviewed the multi-year planning history for the project, which included a 2009 construction document set by Levin Porter and Associates. The base bid plus an alternative (lobby and ADA restroom work) produced a staff-recommended not-to-exceed award of $136,400 against $195,000 allocated in the capital plan. Staff noted some interior work would be performed by city personnel in-house.

Council voted unanimously to award the contract and asked about start and completion dates; staff said work would begin March 1, 2013 and is expected to finish by the end of July.
