Council selects Dublin Construction as construction manager for public works facility renovation
Summary
The council approved Resolution 2608 to engage Dublin Construction as construction manager at risk to renovate the Madison Street 'cotton warehouse' into a public-works/street division facility; the firm’s overhead is estimated near $16,000/month and its fee about 4% of the project.
Mr. How presented Resolution 2608, recommending that Dublin Construction be engaged as construction manager at risk to renovate the Madison Street warehouse (referred to in the meeting as the "cotton warehouse") into the public-works street division facility. Mr. How said the city procured qualifications through a public advertising process and a city staff evaluation committee overwhelmingly recommended Dublin Construction.
The recommended engagement would include an expected overhead/monthly fee just under $16,000 and a services fee near 4% of the project cost, Mr. How said. Mr. Chris Morris of Dublin Construction was in the audience. Councilmembers discussed operational reasons to relocate the street division from its current site on Washington Street — including difficulties moving equipment through a neighborhood and improved access to major roads — and noted that bringing a contractor in earlier in the design process can reduce costs.
Councilman Jones moved approval; Councilman Colby seconded. The council approved the resolution by voice vote.
What happens next: staff will execute the engagement agreement and work with Dublin Construction and the design team on the project schedule, design refinements and cost-control measures as the project moves toward construction.
