ORANGE COUNTY • BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: October 9, 2007 Action Agenda Item No. (D - h SUBJECT: Animal Services Facility: Construction Manager at Risk Pre-Construction Services Approval DEPARTMENT: Purchasing PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: Pam Jones 919 245-2652 PURPOSE: To consider approving Clancy &Theys Construction Company of Raleigh, NC as the Construction Manager at Risk for the Animal Services Facility and authorizing a contract in the amount of $30,000 for pre-construction services associated with the project. BACKGROUND: The Animal Services Facility has been under design through the leadership and guidance of aBoard-appointed planning committee for several months. The re-location of the current facility is prompted by the University of North Carolina's desire to reclaim the property upon which the current Shelter is situated for its Carolina North development. As presented during the review of the facility plans in June 2007, staff solicited and interviewed for Construction Manager at Risk Services over the summer for both the Animal Services Facilty project and the 911 Center upfit. Three of the five responding firms were interviewed for the work, with Clancy &Theys deemed to be the best fit for the Animal Services Facility project. Among its long list of projects, Clancy &Theys completed a 16,000 square foot facility for the SPCA of Wake County in March 2004. The facility is comparable both in size (Orange County's facility is proposed at approximately 23,500 square feet) and program to that of Orange County. Further, the firm has the resources and capacity necessary to carry out this project and is well- versed in the CMAR project delivery method. If appointed by the Board, Clancy &Theys would join the development and construction team immediately and would provide pre-construction services in concert with the team during the design development process. These services would be concentrated on interactive pricing and • budgeting exercises through the design development phase as well as the construction document phase up to the issuance of a Guaranteed Maximum Price ("GMP"). A GMP component of this contract will be presented to the Board for consideration upon finalization of this work.
