Discussion:
Kraus Anderson has successfully completed the construction work at River City Centre and was the second choice in the original SandVenture Request for Proposals. They have proposed a fee of $330,000 for the project, covering their profit, overhead, site trailer, site supervisor, trucks, and other expenses. Their estimated construction timeline for the building is five months. Kraus Anderson has agreed to honor its hourly rates and fees from their original RFP response.
The city has taken measures to save costs, such as procuring the block from Old Castle and planning to rebid the installation of that block. The CAD Block model provided by Old Castle will be used in the bidding process. Additionally, the city has purchased a temporary construction fence, stored at Public Works when not in use, and is utilizing existing contracts with Biffs for portable toilets and DemCon for construction dumpsters at competitive rates.
Bill Delaney, the Senior Planner for Parks and a landscape architect, will continue working with Global on the pool project and its successful completion this summer. He will coordinate efforts with Alex Jordan, the City Engineer, for utility installation and the building construction.
