Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Capital Improvement Committee receive a Quarterly Budget and Schedule Status Report on the New Juvenile Hall, Project 8811 (Project), for period ending June 30, 2016.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Key schedule components and budget status are summarized below.
Budget and Schedule: The project is not on budget. The County received bids for the New Juvenile Hall Project on May 19, 2016. The lowest responsible bidder was $8.2 million or 21.4% above the State approved $38.4 million bid day budget prior to the required 10% construction contingency. The bids were tightly grouped with a spread of just 4.6% between the first and third lowest bids. The significant increase in the bid results is indicative of current market conditions attributable to multiple factors including: busy construction market, low number of bidders on wood framing, sitework and utilities, rebounding construction market, lack of skilled labor and low competition in an isolated market. Some minor design features have been incorporated into a revised project bid package.
RMA-Public Works will submit the revised project bid package to the Board of Supervisors for approval of revised drawings on October 4, 2016 for rebid. The overall project schedule will be delayed six months to accommodate the re-bid with a revised Start of Construction scheduled for February 2017. Overall revised project completion will be August 2019.
State Milestones: Submittal to the State DOF for Approval of Construction Documents and to re-issue for bid in October 2016.
Design: Architect, DLR Group, is revising the Construction Documents. The Architect will incorporate County comments resulting from the bidder reviews into the documents prior to the re-bid date.
