RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Vanir Construction Management, Inc. (Vanir), in the amount of $3,999,879 for construction management services for demolition of the existing County Administration Building and redevelopment of the 651 Pine Street site for the period November 17, 2020, through November 17, 2023 (with a one year extension option), which may be extended to November 17, 2024 if elected by the Public Works Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% General Fund Capital Reserves.

BACKGROUND:

This project includes demolition of the existing 12 story, 121,000 square-foot County Administration Building and redevelopment of the 651 Pine Street site, including the full or partial demolition of the 1944 Annex of the Old Jail property at 650 Pine Street for the following and/or combination of parking lot with public plaza, one-story office building on-grade and parking with public space or one story and/or two-story building over parking with public space.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The County Public Works Department requested Statement of Qualifications ('SOQs") for construction management services. The Public Works Department received four SOQs from interested firms and three firms were short-listed. A selection committee comprised of County staff conducted interviews and ranked Vanir as one the top ranking firms. It is recommended that Vanir be awarded the agreement to provide construction management services for this project.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Public Works Department does not have the staff expertise to provide construction management services for a project of this scale, If the contract is not approved, the project will be delayed and most likely incur increases in the cost of construction.
