THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the <br />motion carried unanimously (4-0 Chairman Ginn absent). <br />(The Board authorized full and final payment in the amount <br />of $8,009.60 payable to HVAC, Inc., as recommended in <br />the memorandum of July 20, 2004.) <br /> <br />11.C.2. USE OF A CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AT RISK AS <br />THE FORM OF DELIVERY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF <br />THE NEW ADMINISTRATION BUILDING <br /> <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, <br />SECONDED BY Commissioner Macht, to approve staff’s <br />recommendation. <br /> <br />At Vice Chairman Neuberger’s request, General Services Director Tom Frame <br />explained the process of using a construction manager at risk. He also reviewed his memorandum <br />of July 28, 2004 concerning the new Administration Building Complex which has evolved as a <br />complex project with two very large buildings and a very complicated site development plan. <br />Staff felt the County would be setting up for problems by having a low bid process for <br />construction. Staff thought it would be better to have a construction manager get familiar with the <br />project, the elements, and the issues associated with that project and thus greatly avoid the <br />potential of change order applications. The County has started using that process on a number of <br />projects such as the North County Park (not the pool), the Joint Use Fleet Facility, and the Road <br />and Bridge Facility. He explained that the end result would be that the contractor is locked into a <br />price. If the project comes in lower, the savings is the County’s, but if it comes in higher, the <br />contractor is responsible. He recommended the process as the wise way to proceed. <br />August 10, 2004 <br />28 <br /> <br />
