Analysis
In May 2014, citizens approved a referendum for the continuation of a 1/4 cent sales tax for Phase II Improvements to Central Park. On October 14, 2014, City Council adopted an ordinance appropriating $7,284,660 and approved an architectural services contract with HKS Architects, Dallas, Texas.
On October 14, 2014 proposals were received from six Construction Manager at Risk Contractors at the office of the Purchasing Manager. The submittals have been evaluated and interviews of the candidates were completed on November 18, 2014. Based on the submittal package and interviews, staff has unanimously selected Lee Lewis Construction as the finalist to perform Construction Manager at Risk services for the project.
The Construction Manager at Risk services is separated into two components, Pre-Construction; which involves development of project estimates, preliminary construction schedule, value engineering and constructability review during the Design Phase; and Construction Management Services throughout the construction phase of the project. The Pre-Construction Fee submitted by Lee Lewis Construction is in the amount of $20,000.
Upon completion of the construction plans and contract documents, the project will be advertised for subcontractor bidding. The CMAR will submit a Guaranteed Maximum Price Amount for the project and Construction Services Fee will be based on the actual approved construction costs in conjunction with the Field & Office Staff and General Conditions fees as outlined below:
The Construction Services Fee is based on the following:
1. Construction Services Percentage: 2% of construction budget $1,300,000 *
2. Field & Office Staff Cost: $ 758,118
3. General Conditions: $1,249,854
* 2% of estimated $65 million construction cost
Based on an estimated $65,000,000 construction contract budget, the total cost of (CMAR services) is $3,327,972 inclusive of both pre-construction ($20,000) and general conditions ($3,307,972).
It is anticipated that the design will be completed in approximately one year. Sub-Contract bids will be received when plans are complete and approved. The Construction Manager at Risk Contractor will then submit a Guaranteed maximum price proposal for City consideration of award of construction.
This proposed ordinance was presented and approved by the Finance and Government Committee on December 9, 2014.
