BACKGROUND: On November 14, 2006, the Board approved this project for CMAR contracting and exempted this project from the qualifications based selection process for Architects and Construction Managers at Risk as provided in G.S. 143-64-32. On.March 13, 2007, the Board approved the project scope and final design for the Central Orange Senior Center, the Adult Day Health Center and the renovations within the Sportsplex to allow for more efficient operational space. The Board also approved Resolute Building Company as the County's CMAR, thereby allowing them to solicit bids in anticipation of a final Guaranteed Maximum Price for Board approval. Since the March meeting, the Project Team consisting. of Corley, Redfoot, Zack (CRZ), Resolute Building Company (RBC), Recreation Factory Partners (RFP), the County Attorney, the County's contract Construction Manager and County Staff have worked through two bid offerings, conducted iterative value engineering exercises and have arrived at the Guaranteed Maximum Price reflected in the Agreement: The team has also arrived at a cogent CMAR Contract Document between RBC and the County. The project will begin soon after approval of the Agreement contract by the Commissioners, with scheduled completion approximately 63 weeks thereafter. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Guaranteed Maximum Price ("GMP") for this project is $5,253,334. This GMP includes a 3.5% contingency that represents the CMAR's level of risk assumed within the GMP. If the contingency is not used, those funds are not disbursed to the CMAR. Funding for this project in an amount sufficient to support the GMP contract was approved in the 2007-2017 Capital Investment Plan. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the Agreement; authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of the Board; and authorize the Manager or her designate to execute and report to the Board any future change orders within the project budget as may be appropriate.
