PURPOSE: To consider approving the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) agreement,
including the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), with Resolute Building Company (RBC) for
the upfit of the Emergency Services Facility at 510 Meadowlands Drive, Hillsborough.
BACKGROUND: On September 19, 2007, the Board approved Resolute Building Company
as CMAR for the Emergency Services Facility, thereby allowing them to solicit bids in order to
develop the final GMP. The CMAR contract (without the GMP amount) was included for the
Board's information at that time. This same contract, complete with the GMP amount, is now
proposed for Board approval.
Since the September meeting, the Project Team consisting of Corley, Redfoot, Zack (CRZ),
Resolute Building Company (RBC), County Staff, the County Attorney, and the Gounty
Construction Manager have worked through the final construction drawings and a successful bid
offering, conducted iterative value engineering exercises, and have arrived at a GMP that fulfills
the program for the 911 Center and is within the funding allotted for the work.
Standard sustainable design elements, such as low flow water, energy efficient lighting, sensors
on light switches, and daylighting will be used in this building. In addition, the Mitsubishi system
that delivers a high degree of energy efficiency will provide HVAC to the building. Although this
system is approximately $100,000 over the cost of a traditional system, life cycle costing has
proven it to be a good application for this facility.
It is anticipated work will begin within two weeks following approval of the CMAR contract, with
completion scheduled for late-Spring 2008. Recommendations for naming the facility will be
presented to the Board shortly after the first of the year.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Guaranteed Maximum Price ("GMP") for this project is $1,232,257.
This GMP includes a 4% contingency that represents the CMAR's level of risk assumed within
the GMP. If the contingency is not used, those funds are not disbursed to the CMAR. Earlier
estimates of the project ranged from $1.1 to $1.5 million. $1.5 million is included in the CIP for
funding of the upfit, including all elements of the project except land purchase and design fees.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the Agreement;
authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of the Board; and authorize the Manager or her designate
to execute and report to the Board any future change orders within the project budget as may be
appropriate.
