Council awards design-build contract for corporation yard mechanic shop remodel
Loading...
Summary
Council approved a guaranteed-maximum-price design-build contract with United Building Contractors Inc. to complete the corporation yard mechanic-shop remodel and associated work; larger items (fuel station, wash rack, admin building) were deferred for future funding.
The council approved a guaranteed-maximum-price contract with United Building Contractors Inc. for construction-phase work on the citys corporation yard, focusing on the mechanic shop and associated interiors. Public-works staff said prior proposals had included additional site work and an administration building, but the current contract scope was pared to remain within budget.
Public-works manager Tim Caber (speaker 10) described the contract as a not-to-exceed guaranteed maximum price that transfers most construction risk to the contractor; he said additive options (insulation, low-voltage electrical work and a rolling gate) were prioritized but held pending additional funds.
Council members asked about the remaining phases and funding triggers for the fuel station and wash rack; city staff said those items remain functional at the existing site and will be pursued when resources are available. The council voted to approve the contract and authorized the mayor to sign; the roll call recorded the motion as passed 4 yes, 3 absent.
