Information

Request/Subject

Request ratification of Additional Service Request #2 to provide the additional structural design as a cost-saving measure.

Background Information

In January 2020, the Board approved the architectural contract #041819 to design the Globe Animal Care and Control Facility. The architect, Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), Loven Contracting, and Gila County have been working diligently to stay within the project budget of $2,800,000. As the team reviewed the pricing to construct there were some add alternatives that the team felt were essential to have a well-functioning facility. The CMAR identified a cost-savings measure that would require additional structural engineering at a minimal cost of $1,680; however, the cost savings would be approximately $9,000 to $15,000. The savings from this design change will allow the inclusion of additional add alternatives such as an automatic watering system in the kennel area.

Evaluation

The team reviewed the additional service request and determined the change and cost-saving is appropriate and necessary for the project.

Conclusion

The additional service request will save structural steel costs and provide additional service items for the facility.

Recommendation

The team recommends ratification.

Suggested Motion

Ratification of the Board of Supervisors' approval of Additional Service Request #2 in the amount of $1,680 to the contract with The Architecture Company (executed on 1/7/2020) to provide additional structural engineering.
