Contractor reports mental-health facility on track; GMP unchanged at $7.996 million
Summary
BW Construction project manager updated commissioners on construction progress at the new Delaware County mental-health facility: no owner change orders to date, GMP $7,996,017, building just under 13,000 square feet and substantial completion targeted May 30, 2025 (final closeout mid-June).
BW Construction project manager Mark Manship reported progress this month on the Delaware County mental-health facility, telling commissioners that the guaranteed maximum price (GMP) remains $7,996,017, there have been no owner-initiated change orders to date and the building is "just under 13,000 square feet."
Why it matters: The county is the project owner; schedule and budget updates indicate whether the project will meet contract milestones and whether commissioners should expect future change-order requests or funding implications.
Manship summarized sitework and building progress through December and into January: sanitary systems and a grinder/lift station were installed; the parking area was undercut and stabilized with heavy stone after the asphalt plant closed for the season; the detention pond has been seeded; exterior framing and the first layer of sheathing are complete; a mock-up wall has been erected for review of exterior installation systems and warranty coordination.
On schedule: The contractual duration is 271 days from the contract start; Manship said the project aims for substantial completion May 30, 2025, and full closeout by June 16, 2025. He noted cold weather could affect liquid-applied exterior work and that some milestone dates may shift.
Commissioners asked about protecting exposed roof decking in winter; Manship said the specification permits short-term exposure and that synthetic underlayment and shingles would be installed per schedule. On paving, project staff told commissioners they stabilized the lot to allow winter staging and will apply binder and finish paving when plants reopen.
Ending: Manship said the structural engineer and the architect plan an on-site review later in the week to inspect trusses, beams and the mock-up; commissioners asked to be notified of that visit.
