Commission approves $30.34 million guaranteed maximum price for Dayton government complex
Summary
The board approved a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) of $30,341,712 for the Charles J. Kirk Government Complex construction and authorized the county manager to approve contingency change orders within the GMP.
The Lyon County Board of County Commissioners on Nov. 6 approved a guaranteed maximum price not to exceed $30,341,712 for the Dayton Government Complex construction and authorized the county manager to approve contingency change orders within the GMP.
County staff said the contract includes an owner27s contingency of approximately 5 percent to cover minor changes during permitting and construction. County management told commissioners the contractor historically returns some contingency dollars and staff expects to manage the budget throughout construction. A motion to approve the owner-contractor agreement, naming Core Construction (DBA Core West Incorporated) as the construction manager and authorizing the county manager to approve contingency change orders within the GMP, passed 5-0.
Commissioners reiterated oversight expectations and asked staff to provide periodic cost updates as the project proceeds through permitting and construction.
The GMP and the authorized contingency approvals are intended to allow the county to execute the construction contract and begin work while maintaining board-level oversight of significant contract changes.
