2 <br />foreseeable future. The second mezzanine over the pool area could be added at a future date, <br />should program growth dictate the need. <br />These efforts have produced a hard construction budget, summarized as follows: <br />a. Standalone Senior Center (15,000 SF of new construction and renovations): $3,094,832 <br />b. Adult Day Health Care (4,100 new construction and renovations): $ 549,525 <br />c. Sportsplex Renovations (Mezzanine construction, common area renovations): $1,286,032 <br />Total: $4,930,389 <br />These budgets are still conservative because of the nature of pricing against development <br />design drawings. At this stage in pricing, the budgets are in keeping with the affordability <br />analysis allocations discussed with the Board in August. <br />The project team will be meeting soon with Commissioner Halkiotis and a subcommittee of the <br />planning committee, tasked with oversight of the kitchen design. Kitchen design as understood <br />by the project team is included in the base numbers cited above. The budget will be modified to <br />reflect changes made by the subcommittee as may be appropriate. <br />Additional regulatory approval from the Hillsborough Board of Adjustment will be needed for the <br />modified entrance to the Adult Day Health Center. This Center was added Inter in the design <br />process and was therefore not included in the initial site plan review by the Town in late 2005. <br />Approvals are anticipated in November. <br />Upon approval by the Board of Adjustment, CRZ will begin assembling the actual construction <br />documents for the project. The collaboration will continue amongst members of the project <br />team to optimize these documents. Upon final documents, RBC will put the documents out to <br />public bid amongst the first tier subcontractors (general, plumbing, electrical and mechanical <br />contractors). The CM at Risk contract will be presented to the Board for approval early in 2007, <br />after which construction will commence: <br />Completion of all phases of construction of the project is anticipated for the spring 2008. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Board has previously authorized snot-to-exceed budget for the <br />entire project of $6,000,000, which was included in the Debt Issuance Schedule presented <br />during the September 14, 2006 work session. As a reminder, the project budget will cover all <br />components of expenditures, including, but not limited to such owner responsibility items, as <br />design fees, furnishings, teledata wiring, testing fees, etc. The appropriate project ordinance will <br />be presented for Board approval at such time that pricing is complete and the CM at Risk <br />contract terms are finalized. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve this project for <br />CM at Risk contracting and exempt this project from the qualifications based selection process <br />for architects and Construction Managers at Risk as provided in G.S. 143-64-32 and approve <br />the project scope of work as cited above, to include the Senior Center, the Adult Day Health <br />Center and the construction of one mezzanine and interior renovations in the Sportsplex area; <br />and authorize the Staff and County Attorney to prepare and present a Construction Manager at <br />Risk contract based on construction documents prepared by the consultants in collaboration <br />with the Project Team. <br />
