Board hears CMAR recommendation and questions cost details for East Solomon Street reconstruction
Summary
County staff recommended using a construction-manager-at-risk delivery and moving forward with Headley Construction for the 117 East Solomon Street reconstruction; commissioners requested the low-bid identification and project cost estimates before final contract approval.
Dr. Ledbetter recommended the board approve a construction-manager-at-risk (CMAR) delivery method and award the recommendation letter for the East Solomon Street reconstruction to Headley Construction. He said the CMAR approach brings the contractor into the design process earlier, allowing the county to evaluate constructability, coordinate demolition and design, and manage unknown field conditions to reduce surprises.
Commissioners asked who the low bidder was and requested an estimated total project cost before moving forward; Dr. Ledbetter said Headley was the low bidder and that staff would provide detailed cost information before the next meeting. The board did not finalize contract execution during the workshop and asked staff to return with verified insurance, bonds, and a final price for review at the regular meeting.
