Recommendations/Options/Action Requested:

Receive update on the Police Facility Phase 1, Project (CIP# PD1803).

Executive Summary:

City Commission approved $18.5 million in the 2017 and 2019 CIP to design and construct Phase I of the police facility. The Commission approved the use of the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method for the Police Facility Phase 1 project in May 2018. The City selected Hoefer Wysocki as the design architect and Turner Construction as the construction manager.

The project is currently in the Design Development phase and on schedule to begin construction this summer. The Schematic Design construction cost estimate came in at $17,650,000, which includes $1.4 million in contingencies and escalation. Staff directed the design team to proceed with $1.8 million in budget control reductions and alternate bid items in order to keep the project within budget. 

 

The City Commission’s decision to use CMAR as the delivery method enables flexibility to make adjustments to the project based on cost estimates provided at various stages of design to deliver the project within budget. Staff will have the Design Development cost estimate within a few weeks and will provide another update to the City Commission in May.
