Three alternate bids were requested for this project. Alternate No. 1 was a bid to provide, but not install, battery operated flushometers for all toilets and urinals in areas of work. Alternate No. 2 was a bid to convert Janitor 101B into Mother’s Room 101B, which included demolition, paint, APC ceiling, carpet, furniture, sinks and lighting as well as electrical and plumbing. Alternate No. 3 was a bid to clean, remove 22 fins, and re-lamp the existing linear perimeter luminaries versus replacement of the fixtures.
All bids received exceeded the engineer’s estimate. Several reasons for this include the current market, bidding climate, and construction workload in addition to higher than expected mechanical, plumbing, and electrical costs. Workload and demand for these trades is currently high and subcontractors are not available. Due to the high volume of construction work in this area, it will likely be more economical to proceed with this project now despite the increased cost.
Based on the bids received, it is recommended that Alternate No. 3 be accepted.
Thousands of people have attended events at the Mid-America Center since it opened its doors to the public in October of 2002. Due to the high volume of usage and wear over the years, the fixtures in these rooms now need to be replaced. This project will renovate the Exhibit Hall Pre-Function Restrooms, the Ballroom Pre-Function Restrooms and the Restrooms that serve Hallways H, I, and J.
The renovation will include removal and replacement of the dated metal toilet partitions with solid HDPE (high density polyethylene) partitions which will never rust or need painted. New solid surface countertops, sinks and hands-free faucets will be installed. The lighting will be upgraded. The rooms will have the wallpaper removed and the walls will be painted.
Renovating these areas will provide a greater overall customer experience and enhance the competitive advantage across this market. This project was included in the CIP and is identified as BM20-02. Architectural services provided by HGM totaled $21,540.00. Funding is from the General Fund with additional funds available in Gaming to cover the costs in excess of the original budget of $168,000.
The project is scheduled to be completed by June 25, 2020.
