A RESOLUTION DETERMINING THAT CORE RELATED
STRUCTURAL WORK, CONSTRUCTION OF THE STRUCTURAL
REPAIRS TO THE MECHANICAL ROOM FLOOR AND WALL AT
THE CONVENTION CENTER, REPAIRS TO THE SWITCH GEARS
IN THE ELECTRICAL ROOM AND MONITORING OF
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS CANNOT BE REASONABLY
OBTAINED THROUGH THE USUAL BIDDING PROCEDURES
AND AUTHORIZING THE FINANCE DIRECTOR TO DISPENSE
WITH BIDDING THEREFOR.
WHEREAS, the City of Bakersfield has retained Honeywell Inc. to retrofit the
heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) facility at the Bakersfield Convention
Center; and
WHEREAS, during the technical investigation stage of the contract for HVAC
services it was discovered that the mechanical room floor and wall were much more
extensively damaged than originally thought due to the leakage of calcium chloride onto the
mechanical room floor; and
WHEREAS, the technical investigation also identified that one of the roof trusses
required structural strengthening to provide adequate support for the new arena air handler
and this roof truss was found to be encapsulated with asbestos.; and
WHEREAS, extensive damage to the switch gears in the electrical room due to
calcium chloride seeping through the mechanical room floor was discovered; and
WHEREAS, due to the fact that failure of the mechanical room floor and wall and
the switch gears in the electrical room could happen at any time, the City has determined
that structural repairs should be implemented as quickly as possible; and
WHEREAS, Honeywell Inc., must remove existing cooling equipment from the
mechanical room and replace it with new cooling equipment; and
WHEREAS, the City has procured an agreement with Dresser Services Inc. for the
the asbestos and chromium contamination abatement and said abatement must be
monitored by certified hazardous materials monitoring contractors; and
WHEREAS, Honeywell Inc., must integrate and coordinate asbestos removal and
monitoring, structural and electrical repair work with the HVAC project to ensure a
successful completion of the project before the summer months; and
WHEREAS, Honeywell Inc., has agreed to provide and coordinate for the design and
construction of structural and electrical repairs thus providing for a dynamic integration of
design and construction which should expedite completion of the project and provide tunely
solutions should problems be encountered during the construction phases; and
WHEREAS, splitting the structural and electrical repair work, hazardous material
monitoring and construction of the HVAC Project into separate components and awarding
a contract for the structural repair work, electrical work and abatement monitoring
separately will cause unacceptable delays and not guarantee a successful completion of the
HVAC Project within the required time frame;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED as follows:
1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference.
2. The core related structural work, design and structural repairs to the
mechanical room floor and wall and electrical room repairs to the switch gears for the
Convention Center and monitoring of hazardous materials can be performed or caused to
be performed by Honeywell and/or the City of Bakersfield in order to successfully integrate
said structural work with the design and construction of the HVAC system.
3. The Finance Director is authorized to dispense with bidding and this Council,
simultaneously with this resolution, authorizes the second amendment to Honeywell's
original contract for the design/construction services enumerated herein in an amount not
to exceed $1,292,033 and authorizes the agreement with Mike McGuire for the monitoring
of said hazardous materials enumerated herein in an amount not to exceed $25,744.40.
