The contracti6g <br />schedule has in the past proven beneficial for the Owner to solicit bids for projects tn the <br />late winter, Dudng late winter many c, ontrac[ors are attempting to get the first job of tt)u <br />construction season on the books. If the project team misses the late winter bid wiz~,Juw <br />the project costs could be 2% to 3% more expensive, <br /> <br />Another cost to explore when reviewing ~he timing ot' cons[ruction start i,~3 the cost of <br />construction in the winter months, This project is currently schedule for a 2?. mol <br />project. By starting early May 04 the construction is o~<posing the county to the Iil:~t <br />winter season of nora-completed shell construction. If [l~e contracts were d,,;layed to 90 <br />days the shell would be less complete in the winter of 05 and woukJ n3qulre more <br />protection in the winter of 06. Thus causing I:l~e additional expense, of wil fl~r co,rfdifionL', <br />for constructing in an unprotected environment, <br /> <br />The result of the above defined delays of 90 to i20 days could be in the l,mge (ff <br />$1,250,000.00 to $1,750,000,00 <br /> <br />The potential of delay claims from subcontractors could occur if the county proceeds <br />with advertisement and bidding of bid packages and then the owner decktes to delay th(~ <br />start of the project. This cost would be from contrac[om who were awarded'bid <br />packages and then requested by the owner to delay constl~c[ion. This cos{ is difficuli b <br />quantify however it could add hundreds of thousands of doti.3rs to tho finai project cosl. <br /> <br />Sincerely <br />Adolfson & Peterson Construction <br /> <br />Mike McGowen <br />Senior Project Manager <br /> <br />6701 West 23rd Sifter BI Mmneopohs, Mirmcsotu 55426 .
