Committee approves Downs construction-management proposal of about $58,700
Summary
The committee approved a revised Downs proposal for construction management at McMahon, recorded in the meeting as roughly $58,738; members asked for clarity on reduced hours versus an earlier higher figure and confirmed field oversight plans.
Committee members voted to accept a revised proposal from Downs for construction management services at McMahon, recorded in the meeting at $58,738 (the chair referenced and rounded to $58,000 on the budget worksheet).
The chair said Downs reduced some executive and administrative hours from an earlier proposal and that field hours would be maintained, with Jason Smith identified as superintendent for on-site oversight. Committee member Patrick and others pressed for confirmation that deliverables stayed the same despite lower end-of-project hours; Downs and staff said deliverables remain but some end-of-project superintendent hours were reduced.
The motion to accept the Downs proposal was moved and seconded (transcript records: "Move by mister Ike" and seconded by Patrick) and the committee voted aye. Members requested continued attention to site safety and inspection scheduling; Scott said the team plans morning site presence and suggested Wednesdays as a recurring check-in day.
Next steps: staff will finalize the Downs contract at the approved amount and track superintendent on-site presence and deliverables during project closeout.
