| SUBJECT: |
| Council Consideration of the Acceptance of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Proposal Prepared by Van Ewing Construction, Inc., for the Early Packages of the Gillette College Student Housing, Phase II Project in the Amount of $843,116.00. |
| BACKGROUND: |
The City of Gillette and Gillette College partnered to build the first phase of student housing on the Gillette College Campus in 2007. The first phase of student housing consisting of 100 beds was complete in 2009 and has been at capacity since it was first opened. The City and College are once again partnering to construct a second phase of student housing to provide additional on-site housing opportunities for Gillette college students.
The project will include living quarters for approximately 140 students, a kitchen and dining hall, laundry facilities, office space for two employees, classroom/study room, custodial and storage areas, associated site work, and landscaping. The layout of the building and parking corresponds with the latest Gillette College Master Plan. The living units will house two students and have a “Jack and Jill” type bathroom facility between living units.
The Design Development Phase is 100% complete and the design of the Construction Documents for the Early Packages including utility relocations, site grading, aggregate piers, and foundation system is 100% complete. In order to meet the schedule identified by Gillette College to open the facility in August of 2016, it is recommended that the Early Packages be awarded and construction begin on those project elements at this time.
The proposed Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Proposal for the Early Packages includes costs associated with Insurance and Bonds, General Conditions costs, rough grading, water line relocation, aggregate pier installation, and cast in place concrete (foundation) costs. The Proposal also includes a 4% Contingency and the 5% CMAR Fee.
It is expected that the overall GMP will be complete in October and be presented to the Council for acceptance upon receipt. |
| ACTUAL COST VS. BUDGET: |
A Reimbursement Resolution was approved on April 14, 2015, to allow costs for the project to be eligible for reimbursement by proceeds from the release of Certificates of Participation issued by the Statutory Trust being formed to finance the Project.
The Pre-Construction Services Agreement with Van Ewing Construction, Inc. was awarded in the Amount of $35,000. Should this GMP Proposal and the subsequent complete project GMP be accepted, the Pre-Construction Services Fee will be incorporated into the overall GMP.
Funding for the project will be from the Special Projects Account #001-10-04-419-90-49004. |
| SUGGESTED MOTION: |
| I move for Approval of the Acceptance of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Proposal Prepared by Van Ewing Construction, Inc. for the Early Packages of the Gillette College Student Housing, Phase II Project in the Amount of $843,116.00. |
