Council selects Crane Group LLC as GC/CMAR for 2025 bond projects and approves $5,000 preconstruction fee
Summary
Council selected Crane Group LLC as the general contractor/construction manager at‑risk for the 2025 bond projects (fire station renovation and police expansion), authorized the city manager to negotiate contract terms and approved $5,000 for preconstruction services to establish a guaranteed maximum price.
The City Council approved the selection of Crane Group LLC as general contractor and construction manager at‑risk (GC/CMAR) for the 2025 bond projects, which include renovation of the fire station and expansion of the police station. Staff said three proposals were reviewed and Crane Group provided the lowest price for preconstruction services; council authorized $5,000 for preconstruction services so the contractor and architect can develop a guaranteed maximum price to return to council for approval.
Staff referenced preliminary price comparisons for the same scope: Crane Group $666,000, Teal Construction $843,000 and Broadhurst Construction $950,000 (figures presented by staff). Council authorized the city manager to negotiate contract terms and proceed with the limited preconstruction authorization at the approved amount.
