Board approves construction contract for Capital Metro’s 3100 East Fifth Street office build-out
Summary
The board authorized a contract with Trimble Construction not to exceed $16.43 million (including a 20% contingency) to finish the first and second floors and exterior improvements at 3100 East Fifth Street, the agency’s administrative campus expansion.
Capital Metro’s board voted May 19 to authorize a contract with Trimble Construction Inc. to complete phase 1a and 2 construction work at 3100 East Fifth Street, authorizing a total amount not to exceed $16,431,148 (which includes a 20% contingency).
Scope and rationale
Agency staff said the work finishes floors one and two and exterior improvements to allow relocation of administrative functions from the existing building and to provide a new boardroom and community space. Staff indicated construction will take about one year, with work beginning this summer if the contract is finalized.
Board action
The board approved the contract authorization; the motion passed unanimously. Staff said furniture, IT and other fit-out costs will be returned to the board for approval under separate actions.
Clarifying details
- The authorized amount includes a 20% contingency.
- Staff said they intend to relocate some administrative functions to 3100 East Fifth and to repurpose space in the current building after the project’s completion.
Quote
“This effort is really about the total construction…to get us moved in,” Executive Vice President Dave Kubichek said in the presentation.
Next steps
Staff will finalize the contract, start construction this summer and return with separate approvals for furniture and IT fit-out.
