PIA The fee for HH Architects is amended from $214,000 to a not to not to exceed $518,000 for the EAC, Park Operations Base, Construction Administration, and related minor site construction more specific to these facilities. The difference in the fee relates to the addition of the Park Operations Base components of the Northern Campus Project and the addition of Construction Administration services once construction begins. The HH Amendment is located in Attachment 2. The total not to exceed professional services fees for the two designers is $2.165 million or 8.87% of the estimated construction budget of $24.4 million. The Board also authorized the Manager to continue the selection process of the Construction Manager at Risk ( "CMAR ") over the summer break. Upon the solicitation of the May 23, 2018 Request for Qualifications, two firms responded and were interviewed by a staff panel of stakeholders representing the County Manager's Office, the Sheriff's Office, the Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation ( "DEAPR "), the Orange County Cooperative Extension Office, Asset Management Services, and Finance & Administrative Services. The panel recommended Bordeaux Construction of Raleigh, NC to negotiate with the County for its services as the overall project's Construction Manager at Risk, and the resulting CMAR agreement is located in Attachment 3. The CMAR is a delivery approach in which a construction management firm acts as an owner's consultant during the pre - development phase of the project. During this process, the owner of the project will rely on the CMAR to contract multiple subcontractors and is acknowledged as the sole point of responsibility for the project delivery. During this process, the CMAR possesses the role of hiring the subcontractors who will eventually develop the project. A CMAR will establish a GMP or guaranteed maximum price from subcontractors once the project has been designed. The final construction price is the sum of the CMAR's fee, the subcontractors' bids, and allowances. The CMAR is responsible for managing all subcontracts during the pre - development stage as well as execution stage. The CMAR is responsible for assisting the owner in the following areas: -Construction Schedule -Project Budget -Cash Flow Analysis -Discussion and acceptance of Means and Methods -Value Engineering -Cost Projects During the early stages of a project, the focus of the CMAR will be on cost control and schedule coordination, but once the project kicks off, its role will turn to design, structure and execution issues. The projected timeline for this project is as follows: Activity Estimated Date Range Stakeholder Input, Site Design and Review Activities Summer, Fall, Winter, 2018 Schematic Design Review with the BOCC November, 2018 Program Completed, GMP Presentation to BOCC March -May, 2019 Construction Period Summer, 2019 — Summer, 2021 Occupation Fall, 2021
