Staff described a construction manager-at-risk (CMAR) agreement with Kimmins Contracting for preconstruction and construction services to install a new force main along Lundcrest Road and to upsize a sanitary sewer line along Sylvester Road.
The presentation explained that Kimmins will work with the engineer of record (Tetra Tech) during preconstruction to complete design coordination and perform value engineering; Kimmins' initial fee for those preconstruction services is $69,260 and is included in Water Utilities' FY25 budget. Staff said a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) and amendment to the contract will return to the commission once Kimmins completes preconstruction and develops the GMP. The CMAR model positions Kimmins to serve as contractor if the project proceeds to construction under the negotiated GMP.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about whether the current approval is limited to the $69,260 preconstruction fee; staff confirmed that approval at this stage would authorize the initial preconstruction services and that the GMP and total construction figure would be presented later. The transcript does not include a recorded final contract award vote; the item was presented for consideration with staff available to answer technical questions.
