HomeMy WebLinkAbout030150 RES - 04/15/2014Resolution determining that to construct a portion of the Police Vehicle Impound Yard and Garage Phase 2 — a Bond 2012 Project (Project) at its originally proposed location would be unwise and unnecessary; authorizing the City Manager or designee to proceed with construction of forensics building portion of the Project at an alternate, more suitable, and Tess costly location. WHEREAS, Proposition 7 of Bond 2012 authorizes the design and construction of the Vehicle Impound Yard and Garage Phase 2 (the "Project "), which was originally proposed as "an expansion of the current vehicle impound lot, including a 3,000 sq. ft. forensics garage for investigative work on vehicles and holding area for vehicles involved in crime scenes "; WHEREAS, the forensics building portion of the Project would be placed on the unimproved portion of the site. WHEREAS, staff has reviewed the preliminary design work and found that to place the forensics building portion of the Project on the unimproved portion of the site, as was originally envisioned, would require large utility installation cost and a larger than normal engineering and construction effort. WHEREAS, due to the site's history as a landfill, TCEQ requires very specific construction methods for any building on the site, including a 2' air gap between the existing grade and the foundation of the building, which would require the garage floor to be suspended instead of on- grade. WHEREAS, due to the larger than normal and substantially more costly engineering and construction efforts that would be required if the forensics building portion of the Project were to be built on the originally proposed site, staff recommends placing the new forensics building at the location of the old vehicle impound lot located at the Service Center. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS: SECTION 1. To design and construct the forensics building or garage portion of the Police Vehicle Impound Yard and Garage Phase 2 Bond 2012 Project (Project) at its originally proposed location would be unwise, unnecessary, and unnecessarily costly. SECTION 2. The City Manager or designee is authorized to proceed with the design and construction of the Project, and any portion thereof, using alternate, more suitable locations that would accomplish the intent of the Project. This authorizes the placement of the new forensics building on the site of the old vehicle impound lot located at the Service Center.
