PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On November 27, 2017, City Council approved Resolution 13830 awarding the
construction contract to Weathercraft Company of Colorado Springs in the amount of
$106,950 with $11,000 contingencies for the Pueblo Zoo ECO Center (Penguin Exhibit)

BACKGROUND:
The original project consisted of the demolition of the existing roofing and installation of
new roofing material. Just after the contractor began work of removing the roofing
material around the skylights it was discovered the curbing material that supports the
skylights have deteriorated beyond usability and requires replacement.
Crenshaw Consulting Group, Inc., Roof Consultant for the City of Pueblo, was requested
to provide a change order to replace the skylights and curbing along with additional costs
associated with the work to be performed. Additional funds will cover the additional work.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funds in the amount of $270,543.05 from the Account CI1502 Roof Replacements shall

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:

require the contractor to seal up areas that was removed during startup and return the
new roofing material to the manufacture which will cost the City restocking fees. The
contractor will also be able to bill for mobilization and some minor work.

Approval of the Emergency Ordinance.
