26 <br /> <br />19,087 square foot office building currently located on Revere Road that houses the Department <br />of Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation, Cooperative Extension, Farm Service <br />Agency, and Soil and Water Conservation. <br />• Parks Operations Base <br />The new 8,500 square foot Parks Operations Base would replace scattered facilities and a base <br />and shop at Millhouse Road Park that is used primarily for office space and equipment storage. <br /> <br />Bordeaux Construction advertised a request for qualifications in March 2019 and solicited over <br />850 firms for 36 different bid packages. Nineteen (19) of those packages included reduced <br />prequalification thresholds and bonding requirements to encourage the participation of small <br />and minority owned businesses. A local and minority business outreach session was held on <br />April 22, 2019. <br /> <br />Competitive bids from first tier subcontractors were opened on August 13, 2019 and on August <br />23, 2019. These bids were used to identify the lowest, responsible subcontractor bid for each <br />bid package. The bid packages totaled over $31.7 million in construction costs and ranged from <br />a $5.3 million bid for earthwork to a $14,600 bid for lockers. Over twenty-one percent (21%) of <br />the cost of work is anticipated to be contracted with Minority Owned Businesses (MBEs) that are <br />certified with the State of North Carolina Department of Administration (NC DOA). The <br />statutorily required goal for public works projects is ten percent (10%). <br /> <br />After the subcontractor bids were finalized, the Construction Manager led a value engineering <br />exercise to identify cost reduction options that would not affect the functionality of the project <br />elements. Those options were reviewed by County staff and the project architects, and a total of <br />over $466,000 in value engineering options are recommended to reduce the overall cost of the <br />project. <br /> <br />Bordeaux Construction has presented the County with a total guaranteed maximum price <br />(GMP) of $36,354,082 to deliver all of the elements of the Northern Orange County Campus <br />after deducting the value engineering options. The components of the GMP are detailed in <br />Attachment 1 and summarized in the following table: <br /> <br />GMP Component Proposed Cost <br />Subcontractor Bids (Cost of Work) $31,269,947 <br /> <br />General Conditions & Allowances $1,798,693 <br />Tap Fees & Permits <br />Other Misc.
