County approves site-design engineering for childcare project after revised cost estimates
Summary
After updated contractor and engineer estimates, the board approved funding for site-design engineering for a planned childcare facility; staff estimated construction near $1.25 million and grounded work around $200,000, bringing the project close to $1.46–1.50 million.
County staff told commissioners updated quotes and an engineer's estimate indicate the childcare facility construction would be roughly $1.25 million with groundwork estimated at about $200,000; with contingencies and a permit fee the total was estimated near $1.46–1.50 million. "And he is saying 1,250,000, which is actually a little lower than what we had checked about a year ago," Becky said when summarizing the engineer's estimate.
Staff recommended moving forward immediately with site design engineering so the project can go to bid; commissioners discussed grant options versus county-managed construction and the potential application of Davis-Bacon wage rules if federal grant funds are used. The board voted to proceed with the site-design engineering and asked staff to prepare bid documents and an RFP structure that protects donated funds and public-bid requirements.
