Board awards $6.67 million construction management contract for Riverside archery range
Summary
The board approved a construction management at‑risk (CMC) agreement with Myers Construction Management for the Riverside Adventure Park archery range in a contract not to exceed $6,672,135; the project is largely grant‑funded and the CMC role will help manage budget and design coordination.
The Indianapolis Board of Parks and Recreation voted to award a construction management agreement to Myers Construction Management Inc. for the Riverside Adventure Park archery range, with a not‑to‑exceed construction amount of $6,672,135.
Corey Kranick, construction administrator for Indy Parks, told the board the project carries a roughly $7.6 million budget and is largely funded through a Fish and Wildlife grant administered by the state Department of Natural Resources, with a 10% city match. The board previously approved design work; the CMC procurement brings construction‑phase cost certainty by involving the construction manager in design and pricing decisions.
Staff said the CMC procurement process began with a public RFP; five proposals were received, two finalists interviewed, and Myers scored highest on qualifications, fee percentage and prior experience with pre‑engineered metal buildings. The selection committee included city purchasing and the Office of Minority and Women Business Development, which submitted a letter of support for Myers’ plan to meet diversity goals.
Board members asked whether the CMC approach would reduce change orders and cost growth. Staff and the contractor said earlier contractor involvement should reduce but not eliminate unforeseen conditions and change orders; the CMC will work with designers to reprice options during design and help keep the project on budget. Design is expected to proceed through the year, with permitting time for floodplain issues, and construction anticipated the following year.
The motion to award the contract carried; no dissent was recorded.
