Background:

On November 28, 2000 the City Council awarded construction management services to Concept Marine Associates for the City Hall Remodel. The services included pre-bid, bidding and construction phases of the project. The pre-bid work consisted of a constructability review of the project documents, a review of the city's plan for moving city offices during the construction and finalizing new furniture for the renovated facilities.

The constructability review was started immediately. The constructability review report addressed the following major items to be resolved:

• The documents did not provide a location for or proved for relocation of the data server.
• The documents did not indicate the new modular furniture to be installed on the second floor
• The documents did not provide for data or telephone lines for the new office layouts on the lower or second floor of City Hall and did not provide power connections for this modular furniture.
• The new modular furniture plans were not complete and required revisions to meet the users’ needs.
• There was no plan for relocating the City offices during construction.

Staff met with the Architect on January 12, 2001 to go over the constructability review report. The Architect agreed to most of the items in the report and agreed to revise the documents as required. The project documents have been completed and are now ready for the bid process.
