Page County favors design-build approach for recreation center; approves $10,000 for consultant review
Summary
County staff recommended the design-build procurement method for the new recreation center to speed delivery and reduce change orders; the Board approved appropriating $10,000 from the Recreation Enterprise Fund Balance to hire a licensed architect/engineer to advise on the procurement approach.
County staff said two solicitation approaches were considered for the recreation center project at the Highway 211/Route 340 intersection: design-bid-build (separate designer and builder contracts) and design-build (single entity responsible for both design and construction). Staff recommended design-build, citing faster completion and fewer change orders.
Under the Virginia Public Procurement Act, the county must consult with a licensed architect or engineer when considering design-build procurement; two companies had submitted quotes for that consulting work. The Board approved appropriating $10,000 from the Recreation Enterprise Fund Balance for those consulting services.
