Nineteen (19) of those packages included reduced <br /> 6 prequalification thresholds and bonding requirements to encourage the participation of small <br /> 7 and minority owned businesses. A local and minority business outreach session was held on <br /> 8 April 22, 2019. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 Competitive bids from first tier subcontractors were opened on August 13, 2019 and on August <br /> 11 23, 2019. These bids were used to identify the lowest, responsible subcontractor bid for each <br /> 12 bid package. The bid packages totaled over$31.7 million in construction costs and ranged from <br /> 13 a $5.3 million bid for earthwork to a $14,600 bid for lockers. Over twenty-one percent (21%) of <br /> 14 the cost of work is anticipated to be contracted with Minority Owned Businesses (MBEs) that are <br /> 15 certified with the State of North Carolina Department of Administration (NC DOA). The <br /> 16 statutorily required goal for public works projects is ten percent (10%). <br /> 17 <br /> 18 After the subcontractor bids were finalized, the Construction Manager led a value engineering <br /> 19 exercise to identify cost reduction options that would not affect the functionality of the project <br /> 20 elements. Those options were reviewed by County staff and the project architects, and a total of <br /> 21 over$466,000 in value engineering options are recommended to reduce the overall cost of the <br /> 22 project. <br /> 23 <br /> 24 Bordeaux Construction has presented the County with a total guaranteed maximum price <br /> 25 (GMP) of$36,354,082 to deliver all of the elements of the Northern Orange County Campus <br /> 26 after deducting the value engineering options.
