Council selects Myron Construction as CMAR for Cherry Street firehouse project
Summary
After a multi-stage procurement, council approved Myron Construction as the construction manager at risk (CMAR) for the Cherry Street Firehouse Project (Resolution 2026-91); staff described an open-book approach and said the guaranteed maximum price will be negotiated during design.
City staff recommended Myron Construction for the Cherry Street Firehouse Project following a multi-step procurement that included qualifications, proposals, interviews and scoring. "Myron Construction came out on top, and our team feels really good about the process," the city administrator said during the presentation.
Staff explained the CMAR approach was chosen because the project has multiple moving parts — expanding water and parks maintenance shafts, relocating the fire department and rebuilding the station — and the open-book, construction-manager-at-risk contract allows early contractor involvement. Councilors asked about when the guaranteed maximum price (GMP) will be set; staff said the GMP will be negotiated as design advances and that the city will see subcontractor bids under the open-book process.
The council approved Resolution 2026-91 to select Myron Construction; staff indicated the selection will move forward to contract negotiation and that close oversight will be important during finishing and punch-list phases to ensure quality completion.
