County approves CM/GC contract with Big Valley Construction for EMS Station 1 preconstruction
Summary
Project manager Jeff Hickam presented site-prep and contract details for EMS Station 1, including geotechnical borings not to exceed $9,800 and a $39,500 preconstruction lump-sum; the board approved a contract with Big Valley Construction and adjusted insurance thresholds for preconstruction.
Grand County project manager Jeff Hickam updated commissioners on EMS Station 1 planning and requested approval for a construction-manager/general-contractor (CM/GC) agreement with Big Valley Construction. He said staff selected a geotechnical firm to perform test borings with work "not to exceed $9,800" and cited a preconstruction lump sum of $39,500 for Big Valley to complete the planning-phase work.
Hickam also asked the board to lower the professional-liability threshold for the preconstruction portion from $1.2 million to $1,000,000 because Big Valley is overseeing engineers rather than providing engineering services directly; staff said Big Valley meets other insurance requirements and construction-phase insurance will exceed minimums. Commissioners thanked staff and Big Valley representatives and approved the contract and authorization for the chair to sign.
