Executive Summary:

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 Construction Documents phase and on schedule to begin construction this summer. The Design Development construction cost estimate came in at $16.2 million with the following identified as additive alternate bid items:

 

Alternate Bid Items

Budget Amount

Provide shelled space for Investigations

$520,000

Alternate materials (pavement, interior finishes, etc.)

$145,000

Provide shelled CRT space in Vehicle Outbuilding

$125,000

Provide shelled space for Administration

$110,000

Provide shelled space for Crime Lab

$100,000

Landscaping irrigation

$56,000

Traffic control arms for secured parking area

$29,000

 

The Commission’s decision to use CMAR as the delivery method allows staff flexibility to make adjustments to the project based on cost estimates provided at various stages of design and deliver the project within budget. Staff will bring the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) to the City Commission in August for approval, and construction will begin after execution of the GMP Amendment.

 

As part of the site plan development for the future police facility, Hoefer Wysocki and Landworks Studios were tasked with engaging the public to create a park master plan for the City-owned property surrounding the new facility. The City held a series of four community meetings to gather input from the surrounding neighborhood and general public. The result of these meetings was the development of a neighborhood park plan that will provide open space, trails, fitness equipment, play amenities, and future shelter and restroom facilities.

 

The park master plan includes five phases totaling about $985,000. Each of the phases can be proposed as a future CIP project and implemented as funding allows.
