Summary

The board authorized the interim town manager to execute a design‑build agreement for Purser Hosey Park with the recommended Edifice/PONN team to advance 20% design and establish a guaranteed maximum price. The authorization follows an RFQ and evaluations that reduced nine submissions to a single recommended team.

Staff asked the board on Oct. 27 to authorize the interim town manager to sign a design‑build agreement with the recommended Edifice/PONN team to complete 20% of design services for Purser Hosey Park. The board approved the authorization unanimously.

Corey King, project lead, said the town received nine design‑build submittals, interviewed four finalists and concluded the Edifice/PONN combination best met evaluation criteria. The 20% design phase is intended to refine scope and produce a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) so the town can confirm final cost and deliverable elements before full construction authorization.

Town attorney Daniel Peterson confirmed contract language was reviewed to include municipal protections typical for a design‑build delivery. The board’s authorization allows the town to fund the 20% design phase and proceed toward a GMP; staff said they will return with pricing and a proposed GMP for additional board action.
