<br /> <br /> <br />11.I.5. PUBLIC WORKS – SOUTH COUNTY PARK RECREATION <br />MULTI-PURPOSE BUILDING (RFP 6092) DESIGN/BUILD <br />CONTRACT – RANK ORDER – (FIRST RANKED FIRM - PPI <br />CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT, INC.) <br /> <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Davis, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Lowther, to approve staff’s <br />recommendation. <br /> <br />Under discussion and in response to Commissioner Wheeler’s question, Director <br />Davis explained that funding was authorized previously for a South County Park building to be <br />Consultants Competitive <br />funded from the one-cent sales tax program and the CCNA ( <br />Negotiations Act) <br /> process has been completed. The Board’s action today would approve the <br />Selection Committee’s ranking of the design/build consultants and authorize staff to commence <br />negotiations with the first-ranked firm. <br />In response to Commissioner Wheeler’s inquiry as to the cost of this new building, <br />County Administrator Baird advised that the amount budgeted for this project was $2.3 million for <br />a 16,000 square foot building. If the building is “hardened” (for hurricanes) and enlarged for use <br />as a hurricane shelter, staff would come back to the Board for approval for an increase in funding <br />for the enhanced project. <br />Commissioner Bowden inquired if any State money would be available if the <br />building is “hardened”, and County Administrator Baird replied that staff would apply for a grant <br />but there is no guarantee it would be approved. <br />Commissioner Lowther pointed out that a lot of growth is occurring in the south <br />county area so this building should not be under-built. <br />November 23, 2004 <br />22 <br /> <br />
