Staff recommends moving to 80% design; estimates $300,000 for design work
Summary
Staff said engineering firms advised skipping 60% and advancing to 80% design to produce construction documents more quickly. The technical committee would manage procurement; staff estimated roughly $300,000 to complete the 80% design phase.
Staff told the committee engineers recommended advancing to 80% rather than stopping at 60% so construction documents can follow directly: "Go to 80 and from 80, you can get right to, construction docs." (Staff member).
Staff estimated the district's share of consultant fees and internal procurement costs would place the 80% design near $300,000; Stantec's final report timing was uncertain and may arrive after the next board meeting. Committee members asked that the recommended design step, its scope and funding source be clearly spelled out before committing to procurement.
Staff committed to formalizing the assumptions and returning with a budget recommendation and procurement schedule.
