Minutes note: Alison Woznicki, Vice President of Construction for Travaux, explained that ECS Midwest LLC had been the successful bidder for an earlier Request for Proposal for Building Façade Inspections and Repairs at Various Sites. They have completed the first phase, inspection and assessment across seven HACM properties to determine the current state of the façades. The second phase will involve determining what repairs and renovations are needed in order to satisfy the requirements of the City of Milwaukee Code of Ordinances and developing the design solutions needed based on what was discovered during the first inspection phase, as well as overseeing the construction management of the project. ECS Midwest LLC will produce full documentation and construction-ready plans, which will be used by Travaux to separately procure contractors to perform the necessary repairs. The contract for phase one was $132,000. The amount for the phase two designs and oversight has been set as not-to-exceed $280,000, and the work may be split into separate contracts for each development. Since the total for their work will exceed the $250,000 threshold requiring Board approval, staff has brought the item to the Board. In response to questions from Commissioners, Ms. Woznicki further clarified that the costs related to phase two were able to be determined as a result of the findings during the first inspection phase.
