RE: Public Safety Plan
December update
The Project Executive Team has had another productive month on all fronts. Timely due
diligence, access, and property acquisitions are key to maintaining the Plan's momentum.
Fire Station 51's schematic design estimate and Justice Center's program estimate will give
the Council a good idea of the Plan's overall budget stress.
FIRE STATIONS
• Site acquisition
Depending on due diligence and site access, the Council should expect final pricing and
closed transactions for Fire Station 54's property in February or March.
•
•
Schematic design
Weinstein AU is well into Station 51 schematic design, scheduled for completion in De-
cember. With input from GC/CM Lydig Construction, the schematic design estimate
will be the first "real" number that the Council sees in January.
Sustainability features
The Council can expect to see a short list of sustainability options for Fire Station 51
with their ROM (rough order of magnitude) budgets as schematic design alternates for
GC/CM pricing.
GC/CM pre -construction services
On 20 November, Council approved Lydig as GC/CM and its pre -construction services
contract. Lydig's first task is to develop a Station 51 schematic design estimate.
Equity/diversity and local participation
Based on continuing discussions in Public Safety, the PET is considering piloting a pro-
gram similar to the City of Seattle's: formalized in a Project Labor Agreement (PLA)
and/or Community Workforce Agreement (CWA). The Council needs to weigh the cost
and efficacy of a formal PLA/CWA approach in light of the City's new equity policy (on
your 4 December agenda for approval), your apprenticeship requirements (Resolution
1814), and the stations' budget stress. Lydig has a very good track record on GC/CM
projects with disadvantaged business enterprise and apprenticeship utilization. The
topic will return to a special meeting of Public Safety 18 December to discuss alternate
approaches with staff, Lydig, and me.

JUSTICE CENTER
• Property acquisition
Depending on due diligence and site access, the Council should expect final pricing and
closed transactions for the Justice Center's properties in February or March.
•
Programming
Pending Public Safety's 18 December recommendation, the Council should expect
DLR's program with an estimate in January. This estimate will only be as (un)certain as
Fire Station 51's 2040 programming estimate.
• GC/CM authorization and selection
The Justice Center's GC/CM application was submitted 1 November for consideration
30 November by a panel of the State's Project Review Committee. Upon the PRC's ap-
proval, the GC/CM solicitation and selection process will begin in December. The Coun-
cil should expect a recommendation in February.
CONSOLIDATED SHOPS
• Property acquisition
Depending on due diligence and site access, the Council should expect final pricing and
closed transactions for the Shop's properties in February or March.
PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS
• Due diligence
On 20 November, Council approved contracts to conduct surveys, environmental re-
views, and geotechnical analyses to prepare for property acquisitions. Pending con-
tract execution of the contracts, that work will be underway.
OTHER RESOURCES
•
Professional services
The Project Executive Team is working through procurement of additional consultant
resources for the Fire Stations and Justice Center; e.g., envelope consultant, archeolo-
gist, testing, and inspections. The Council can expect to see contracts for these services
sometime in the new year's first quarter.
SCHEDULE
• Tight schedule
The overall schedule remains very ambitious. With so many activities under way, there
is little room for any missteps to meet the Plan's milestones.

BUDGET
Project and program contingencies
Without a budgeted program contingency, there will be pressure on all program ele-
ments' budgets for the life of the Plan. At its 3 October meeting, the Finance Committee
began discussing with staff how to approach the Plan's significant financial gap. The
Committee directed staff to look at all options in conjunction with the development of
the 2019-2020 biennial budget.
Market conditions
Like the Fire Stations, the Justice Center and Consolidated Shops budgets will need to
be sensitive to tight construction market conditions and increasing property values.
These external budget pressures will manifest themselves as property is procured and
project estimates are refined.
LEGEND

Caution advised
