I. ANNOUNCEMENT
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Contract Amendment: Fire Station 52 Mini-MACC
Staff is seeking Council approval of an amendment to the contract with Lydig Construction in
the amount of $6,801,879 for a mini-MACC (Maximum Allowable Construction Cost) package
including earthwork and utilities, and structures, including retaining walls, steel, and the
elevator. The collaborative nature of the GC/CM model can lead to cost savings and examples
in this case are $115,000 in savings associated with earthwork and $18,000 in savings associated
with elevator specifications. The team will continue to work to identify other savings along the
way. This proposed contract amendment is within the recently revised project budget and will
allow construction on Fire Station 52 to begin. The Council is asked to provide authority for the
contract amendment described above, to spend $686,990 in sales tax, and to spend the
proportional amount of the project's contingency for change orders if needed, up to $660,073.
Mr. Goldblatt has reviewed the project status and concurs with the proposal. The Council
President and Public Safety Committee Chair previously agreed that this item would be
forwarded to the July 15 Regular Council meeting for discussion, as not all Councilmembers will
be in attendance at the July 8 Committee of the Whole. Councilmember Kruller stated that she
does not agree with this schedule since there will still be a quorum in attendance on the 8tn
Chair Robertson agreed to discuss this further with Council President Hougardy. Staff noted
that the July 8, 2019 Committee of the Whole agenda is already finalized due to the short
holiday week and the item could be added as an agenda amendment that night if needed.
MAJORITY APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY 8, 2019 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE OR JULY 15,
2019 REGULAR MEETING PENDING FURTHER DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL PRESIDENT.
B. Easements for Public Safety Plan Projects
Staff is seeking Council approval for the Mayor or designee to sign multiple construction -related
easements associated with Fire Stations 51 and 52 and the Justice Center with approval of the
City Attorney. Committee members and staff reviewed a list of related easements which range
from temporary construction easements to permanent utility easements. Chair Robertson
asked if staff anticipate any issues or conflicts and staff's reply was no. MAJORITY APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO JULY 15, 2019 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
