City of Hermosa Beach --- 11-28-00

PROJECT NO. CIP 95-622 CITY HALL REMODEL – ADA UPGRADES
APPROVAL OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT FOR
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT/INSPECTION

 

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council:

  1. Approve the attached agreement between the City of Hermosa Beach and Concept Marine Associates, Inc. for a fee not to exceed $165,860;
  2. Authorize the City Clerk to attest and the Mayor to execute said agreement upon approval as to form by the City Attorney; and
  3. Authorize the Director of Public Works to make minor changes as necessary not to exceed $16,586.

 

Background:

As Council is aware, the plans and specifications prepared by Gillis & Associates Architects for the City Hall Building Renovations have been completed.

The services of a consultant Construction Manager are needed to supplement the construction management and inspection capacity of the Public Works Department. These services will include biddibility and constructibility reviews and staff relocation activities in addition to the more standard construction management needs.

Staff is of the opinion that review of the design by a construction management team prior to bidding of the plans and specifications will assure the City of the accuracy of the construction documents. Retaining the construction management team before bidding the project will allow for minor design changes to be made which will save the City time and money during construction.

On November 14, 2000, the City of Hermosa Beach Public Works Department received six proposals for the performance of construction management services for Project No. CIP 95-622 City Hall Remodel – ADA Upgrades. The responding project teams were as follows:
