Memorandum
Attached for your review and action is a resolution to approve a contract with Delta Temp, Inc. in the amount of $569,170.20, per bid #4049, approve a construction contingency of $56,917.00 (10%), and establish a total construction project budget of $626,087.20.

The refrigeration piping carries glycol through the concrete flooring to allow the creation and retention of ice for the ice arena. The existing floor and piping was originally installed in 1991. Staff, in conjunction with ice arena floor specialists, have attempted to repair the leaks through patching and the addition of silicate to the glycol system, but these attempts have been unsuccessful, and after consulting with engineering firms the only option is to replace the entire flooring system. The budget for the entire project is $662,510.00 as outlined below:

Construction and construction oversight $569,170.20
Construction contingency $ 56,917.00
Design and engineering $ 22,922.80
Material testing estimate $ 10,000.00
Staff oversight estimate $ 3,500.00
Total Project Budget $662,510.00
