City of Rockford Finance & Personnel Committee met Oct. 12.

Here is the agenda provided by the committee:

I. CALL TO ORDER

II. INFORMATION ONLY

A. Notice of Emergency Repairs to the Buckbee Channel located near the corner of Wesleyan Avenue and 25th Street. Previously Konstruction Services had sent a quote and been awarded the job for repairing the same section of channel where the rip rap from a previous repair had washed away. Due to the use of this channel for stormwater conveyance it was determined that the repairs were needed on an emergency basis to ensure public safety and prevent further damage to the channel. The total cost of the repairs was $30,250.00. The funding source is CIP General Fund.

B. Change Order: Rockford Watch Factory Roof to HC Anderson Roofing Co., Inc., of Rockton, Illinois.

Original Contract amount $83,885

Proposed Change Order $35,000

Total Amended Contract $118,885

Dynamic delayed their start work date for the roofing materials until this fall when crews would be available, with an agreed upon start date of October 18, 2021. On October 5, 2021, Dynamic notified the City that their current workload will prevent them from completing the work. Immediately upon removal of the asbestos containing roofing materials, a new roof is needed to stabilize and preserve the Historic Watch Factory building until redevelopment. Installation of the new roof was awarded to HC Anderson Roofing Company, Inc. at the September 20, 2021 City Council meeting in the amount of $83,885. It is critical that removal of the old roof and installation of the new roof be completed as soon as possible. The funding source is USEPA Cleanup Grant with the 20% match will be met by a combination of City Staff time, in-kind services and the East River TIF District, if needed.
