Hibbing council approves $29 million guaranteed maximum price for public safety building
Summary
The council approved a guaranteed maximum price for the new Hibbing Public Safety Building and authorized the construction manager at risk to move forward with awarding trade contracts.
The Hibbing City Council on July 16 approved a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) of $29,000,008.29 for the construction of a new Public Safety Building and authorized the construction manager at risk to proceed with awarding trade contracts for the project.
City administration presented the GMP from Adolfsson & Peterson as the construction manager at risk and said approving the GMP would allow the manager to award approximately 30 trade contracts required to build the facility. City staff asked councilors to consider the GMP and authorize contract awards so construction work can proceed.
Councilor Faso moved to approve the GMP; Councilor Bayless seconded. Councilors voted in favor by voice vote and the motion carried.
Staff told the council the GMP figure was budgeted and provided in a staff briefing; councilors offered no substantive amendments on the council floor. The city's next steps include awarding the trade contracts and executing the GMP with the construction manager at risk.
Ending: The motion to approve the GMP carried by voice vote; staff will proceed with awarding contracts under the guaranteed maximum price.
