The Chief Development Officer also provided a recommendation to approve a close-out change order for the Richardson Middle School Project. The change order is a credit in the sum of ($233,716.86) for Liquidated Damages. He reported that the contractor shortfalls were for female journeyworkers (6%) and female laborers (2%). The contractor exceeded the goals for minority journeyworkers, laborers and female and minority apprentices. The contractor had an 8% shortfall on the city residency requirement and exceeded the community hiring requirement.
Commissioner Randall inquired if the goals are realistic and if there is more the PBC can do. PBC’s Chief of Staff responded that the contractor’s goals are voluntary. Many contractors choose to maximize their goals at the time of bid and the contractors are aware of the potential for liquidated damages if they fall short of the goal.
Chairman Maldonado and PBC staff also discussed the shortage of female workers in certain trades and the assistance that the unions can provide.
The AO Committee accepted the reports from the Chief Development Officer.
The meeting was adjourned.
