Board briefed on guaranteed maximum price and design amendments for 94 North Street renovation project
Summary
County staff presented a recommended guaranteed maximum price of $6,000,636.10 from Hogan Construction Group for the 94 North Street renovation project and sought approval of $54,505 in architectural amendments to reconcile the GMP with construction documents.
General Services staff presented a recommended guaranteed maximum price (GMP) from Hogan Construction Group of $6,000,636.10 for the 94 North Street repairs and renovations project (the former arts center and church building). The project will repurpose the historic structure for county use, including accountability courts, a drug lab and indigent defense offices.
The GMP includes five specific project-component allowances totaling $105,300 (with unused funds returned to the county) and a county-controlled contingency allowance of $232,261 for unforeseen construction conditions. General Services negotiated the GMP with the construction manager at-risk procurement method and said the proposed price represents the culmination of approximately three months of negotiations.
Staff also requested approval of two amendments to the architecture agreement with Piper O’Brien Herr Architects for additional design and engineering services totaling $54,505. General Services said the additional design work was necessary to reconcile the construction documents with the GMP and that the design changes produced construction cost savings that exceeded the cost of the extra design work.
Funding sources for the project were described as a mix of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds (approximately 45%) and SPLOST funds (approximately 55%). The county manager presented the item for board consideration; no formal vote was recorded in the work session.
Ending: Staff recommended the board accept the GMP and the architectural amendments at the public meeting. The items were listed on the evening agenda for formal action.
