MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />Mayor and Council <br /> <br />Pat Klaers, City Admi~ps~t!~ <br /> <br />June 24, 2002 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Discuss Public Safety Construction Bids <br />Discuss City Hall/Utilities Construction Bids <br /> <br />Item 5.2 & 5.3 <br /> <br />Jim Beckwith from Kraus Anderson Construction Company is the construction manager for <br />our two projects. Over 40 building components for each project went out for bids. The bids <br />are still being compiled and evaluated and are not ready for City Council consideration. Most <br />of the building components will be ready for Council consideration at the July 8 meeting; <br />however, some components of the projects will need still further evaluation or will need to <br />be rebid. <br /> <br />Overall, the bids that were received are positive and are in line with the construction <br />estimates. However, both projects were estimated at an amount that was higher than the <br />January figures when the projects took shape and received consensus approval from the City <br />Council. The project estimates were above the January project budgets because the scope of <br />each project expanded and, especially for the Public Safety facility, the <br />furniture/fixture/equipment (FF&E) became better defined and the original estimates were <br />very low. <br /> <br />Public Safety Facility <br />In January, the Council directed staff to move forward with a lease purchase approach for <br />the Public Safety facility. The maximum amount approved by the Council was $8 million. In <br />January it was estimated that this would generate approximately $7 million (actually the <br />estimate was $6.98 million) for the project. This included the Geothermal system at about <br />$200,000, but no gun range components other than the shell and also only the shell for the <br />upstairs area of the Police Station. The entire Public Safety facility was estimated at 41,000 <br />square feet and fit within the $6.98 million project amount. <br /> <br />Since January, the Public Safety facihty has changed slightly. First of all, the current estimate <br />for available funds with an $8 million lease purchase project is $6.94 million. Next, the EOC <br />space was expanded to meet our needs and subsequendy the Fire station above the EOC <br /> <br /> <br />
