Council approves $5.11 million guaranteed maximum price for Park City senior center; groundbreaking set for May 3
Summary
The Park City Council approved a $5,113,500 guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for construction of a new senior center to be built under a construction manager-at-risk contract, with a planned groundbreaking on May 3 and completion targeted for February 2026.
Park City’s council approved a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) of $5,113,500 on April 22 for construction of a new senior center, authorizing McAllen Gordon Construction (construction manager at risk) to proceed with trade contracts and to manage construction under the GMP.
Alan Youngers of McAllen Gordon told the council the project drew strong interest from builders and trade partners, with more than 15 bids received for trade packages. He said the GMP includes the base construction scope plus an owner contingency of $115,000 and several owner allowances for signage, lighting and materials testing. An alternate in the bid package would deduct $79,300 if the city chooses asphalt paving instead of concrete.
Public-works staff described a timeline that calls for a May 3 groundbreaking at 11:00 a.m. (1811 Stewart Drive) and scheduled substantial completion in February 2026. The construction manager noted the plan anticipates a 4–6 month active construction window after start, and staff said some items (FF&E, signage and lighting) are owner-controlled purchases that sit outside the GMP.
Councilmember Jim Schroeder moved to approve the GMP according to the cost summary provided; the motion passed unanimously, 8-0.
City staff and the construction manager highlighted contingency arrangements: construction contingencies inside the GMP are available to the contractor for unforeseen trade-cost overruns, while an owner contingency sits in the city’s portion for owner-directed changes. If unspent, remaining contingency funds would revert to the city.
The council approved the GMP amount and authorized the construction manager to enter trade contracts. City staff will return to council if a revision to the GMP or significant change orders becomes necessary.
