DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On April 6, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners approved contracts with six (6) Construction Managers (CM), which allow the County to select a CM depending on their area of expertise, capacity, and availability. Facilities Management has assigned the work for Fire Station 13 interior demolition and preparation to Dinkins Construction LLC (Dinkins). Fire Station 13 is converting from a volunteer station to a fully manned facility. This transformation will feature designated sleeping quarters, a kitchen, and restrooms. The renovation will ensure that the station is fully equipped to accommodate the needs of the dedicated staff who will be on duty around the clock. This transformation is not only about updating the physical space but also enhancing the station's capacity to provide efficient and timely emergency services to the County.
This agenda item requests approval for a not-to-exceed (NTE) budget of $425,000. Additionally, it seeks authorization for the Chairman to execute the contract for this project without requiring further Board approval. Execution of the contract will occur upon determination of the demolition and preparation costs, provided they do not exceed the established NTE amount of $425,000.
Attached for review is the proposal submitted by Dinkins, which outlines the associated costs and drawings.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Neutral; expenditure not-to-exceed $425,000, inclusive of contingency. Funding is from EF300522-562102 (Fire, Rescue and EMS Fund) with project code FRC000031
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
