Emergency Award #JMG945

Announcement of an Emergency Award/Quick Purchase

Final Amount
Published Monday December 12, 2022
Vendor: KR Miller Contractors
Final Amount: $79,472
This final amount is far less than the quote because the entire scope of work could not be performed. This is due to the tunnel system being in far worse shape than originally thought. This was revealed once shoring was put in place by Miller. Now that the shoring is in place making the tunnel system safe from collapse, we will need to have the structural engineer reassess the conditions and put together construction documents which reflect the repairs necessary. Miller services were for the shoring only and not physical repairs to the tunnel walls and ceiling.

The University award process may be delayed up to thirty days as this award goes through a state approval process.
Emergency Extension
Published Monday March 14, 2022
Vendor: KR Miller Contractors
Extension Amount: $0
Extended to: 5/9/2022 through 8/31/2022
The University requires an extension of the Emergency Purchase for wall and ceiling repair. KR Miller will install reinforcements to the wall and ceiling from within the valve chamber to stabilize the structure and prevent a possible cave in. This extension is required as a result of delays in acquiring supplies and the additional time factored for the safety aspect of the project. We assumed this project would be quickly completed but it requires various groups to coordinate schedules, supplies, and finally extra time to account for safety inspections and possible discoveries.

The Hearing date for the extension has been scheduled for Tuesday, April 5, 2022 11:00 AM-11:30 AM Central Time.

First published Monday, January 31, 2022
The University awarded a contract for emergency wall and ceiling repair.
This emergency/quick purchase was required due to a situation in which public health or safety was threatened.
KR Miller will install reinforcements to the wall and ceiling from within the valve chamber to stabilize the structure and prevent a possible cave in. The valve chamber is located underneath the drop off at the West Harrison Street entrance and exit lanes. The street is very active with pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The vault stabilization will be implemented to reduce the potential impact to public safety, including the risks of personal injury and property damage. This was discovered when K&K, an electrical contractor, was hired to redo the lighting within the tunnel. They could not remove the existing conduit because of the unstable structure. This was because when they would, pieces of concrete would come off, this lead into a deeper investigation which showed that the valve chamber was in poor structural condition.
