Council approves $39,000 fee for construction manager design phase of fiber station project
Summary
Council moved and approved a compensation payment of $39,000 for the design‑development phase of the fiber station construction manager; the remainder of the contract will be a percentage fee based on a future guaranteed maximum price.
North Canton council approved a $39,000 compensation payment for the construction manager’s design‑development phase of the fiber station project during the Committee of the Whole meeting Sept. 15.
A council member described the approved payment as covering the current design‑development stage; the remainder of the construction manager contract will be a percentage fee calculated off a future guaranteed maximum price once final drawings and bids are complete. “The compensation for this part of the phase is $39,000,” the council member said.
Council members asked whether the remainder of the contract would be a percent‑based fee tied to a guaranteed maximum price; staff confirmed that after final drawings and bids the firm’s fee will be calculated as a percentage of that final GMP. No further competitive‑contract details or the overall GMP figure were provided at the meeting.
A motion to approve the design‑phase compensation was moved, seconded and approved by the members present; the council recorded the action as part of advancing agenda item 4(b)(2).
