Council authorizes $3.6M change order for Public Works/Parks shop; GMP shown near $26.6M
Summary
Council approved change order No. 1 to Burn Construction for a shop facility at the Public Works and Parks Service Center for $3,596,690; staff said the total guaranteed maximum price (GMP) with the change order is about $26.6M and the spreadsheet provided to council shows roughly $29M when design and earlier changes are included.
Town staff presented a recommended change order (Change Order No. 1) to Burn Construction for construction of a shop facility at the Public Works and Parks Service Center, with a base change-order amount of $3,596,690. Staff described the project's design history, value engineering steps that reduced the GMP from an earlier estimate, and the decision to redesign the shop as a pre-engineered metal building to lower costs.
The presenter told council the original GMP plus change order results in a $26,595,303 GMP figure; the spreadsheet provided to council reflects a total a little over $29,000,000 when accounting for design fees and the original GMP plus change order. Staff identified funding sources that are largely cash on hand, previous revenue bond proceeds, capital-dedicated interest savings, and project savings. Council discussed optional alternates (for example mezzanines), the possibility of adding them later using a $500,000 FF&E set-aside, and the importance of cash-funding components after a bond election. A motion to authorize the town manager to execute the change order was made and passed unanimously.
