Approve Change Order for Gas Piping The radiant heater units in the vehicle storage area run with natural gas. The gas piping to these units was inadvertently left off of the plans by the mechanical engineer. The mechanical contractor has requested a change order to install the gas piping to the radiant heater units at a price of $3,515. This number started much higher ($10,000) and the architect was able to work with the mechanical contractor to reduce it significantly. There would have been a cost built in to the mechanical contract for this work but it is unknown how much lower it may have been had the pipes been shown on the plans. Staff recommends approving the change order for the additional gas piping at a cost of $3515. Budget Update The master budget for the project is $3,874,102. That does not include the purchase of the land which cost $675,000. A copy of the budget has been included with this memo. General Building Construction Cost Based on the various contracts awarded for construction the general building construction cost is $3,223,125. That includes the concrete work, the precast walls, all of the electrical, mechanical, and plumbing work, the parking lot, framing, doors, windows, etc. CM F'ee The construction manager, James Steele Construction, adds another $337,514 for its fee, reimbursable expenses, and a construction contingency. The fee is set at 3.5% of construction, the reimbursable expenses include temporary heat and power, the project on-site superintendent, the temporary fence, erosion control measures, dwnpsters, forklift, staking, testing, and other items that can be seen in the summary of reimbursable expenses included with this memo. The contingency is set at 1.5% of construction and is currently at $56,405. JSC has made a request for additional reimbursement but staff is still evaluating it. Design Fee The architect, Oertel, has a fee set at 5.85% of construction costs, which is $188,553. The Civil Engineer's costs were estimated at $20,000. To date, Elfering Engineering has billed $23,651.10 for the project and they anticipate an additional $5000 of work in the spring when the parking lot is installed. That brings the new estimated total to $28,651.10. The site survey and soil borings were performed by Braun intertec. The site survey was $2200 and the soil borings were $4175.58. That leaves a total of $6375.58 compared to an estimated budget of $10,000. 2
