Jail district hires DLR Group as criteria architect; board questions funding and numbers
Summary
Staff reported DLR Group was selected as the criteria architect for the jail district with a negotiated fee of $3,159,137 (about 3% of project cost); during discussion a figure of $33,159,137 was also mentioned as the broader project number, creating an inconsistency staff will need to reconcile. No formal vote was taken at the work session.
County Manager Sharon Gilman briefed supervisors that DLR Group was selected through procurement to provide design-build criteria architect services for the jail district, with a negotiated fee of $3,159,137, which staff characterized as roughly 3% of total project cost.
Gilman said the county will later procure a construction design-build contractor; the criteria architect will prepare documents needed to solicit the build contract and the owner's representative will support the procurement. "We will still need to procure construction from architect service," staff said, describing the steps to reach a construction contract.
Board members asked how the project would be funded. At one point a staff speaker referenced a $33,159,137 figure when discussing whether the county would pay from reserves; the transcript therefore records both the $3,159,137 fee for architect services and a $33,159,137 project figure, which staff and the board should reconcile before contract approval.
Supervisors did not take a formal vote during the work session; staff said they would bring additional procurement details and owner’s-rep involvement to the regular meeting. No final commitment was recorded in the work session transcript.
