TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute a contract, and any necessary documents including any necessary subsequent amendments, with Spectra Company, of Pomona, CA, to furnish and install new windows as part of a deferred maintenance program at the Bay Shore Library, in the amount of $373,512, with a 20 percent contingency in the amount of $74,702, for a total contract amount not to exceed $448,214, for a period of one-year, with the option to renew for four additional one-year periods, at the discretion of the City Manager.

Additional repairs will be made to areas of the building that have experienced water damage. The fabrication of the new windows has a long lead time due to the custom sizing and dimensions required for the existing building. The fabrication process is anticipated to take six (6) to eight (8) months.
