Council informed of $19 million contract increase for police headquarters and 911 center fit-out
Summary
Public Works director presented a contract amendment with Samsung Construction raising the guaranteed maximum price to about $19,000,010 for the Fremont Police Headquarters and Dodge County 911 call center, citing added FF&E and unforeseen site conditions; council discussed budget shortfalls and potential fund realignments.
Director of Public Works Angelus briefed council on a contract amendment that increases the guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for the police headquarters and Dodge County 911/Call Center project to $19,000,009.96. The change reflects added furnishings, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) and unforeseen site conditions identified during construction.
Angelus said the change was the second part of a previously approved larger package and described a shortfall in the current project budget that staff will address by realigning funds from other projects or identifying other methods of compensation. Councilman Horner asked whether the increase effectively doubled the project cost at first glance; staff clarified the total remains in line with the overall package, with some internal budget shifts and a shortfall within an anticipated margin (staff estimated the unforeseen items were within roughly 1–1.5% of anticipated budget).
Councilmembers made and seconded a motion to approve the contract amendment; the transcript records the motion and second before adjournment.
