Description/History
The project includes the first phase of development at Gertie Barrett Park, including a playground, parking lot, splash pad, restroom building, walking trail and open natural spaces. Additionally, improvements at McClendon Park West include two new basketball courts, a splash pad, expanded parking and a new restroom building.
On July 12, 2021, the City Council approved a resolution authorizing the Construction Manager-At-Risk (CMAR) delivery method as providing the best value for construction of Gertie Barrett Park and McClendon Park West improvements. The Fain Group was selected as the CMAR in September 2021. After working closely with both design firms over several months, The Fain Group opened bids for these two park development projects on February 21, 2022. After review of all bids, The Fain Group submitted a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) of $3,600,140.96 for the project, including $1,547,867.00 for McClendon Park West and $2,052,273.96 for Gertie Barrett Park. The GMP contract was approved by the MPFDC on March 17, 2022 and City Council on March 21, 2022.
Since that time, modifications to the original design have occurred due to the project site conditions and requirements. Change orders #1 and #2 are necessary to allow the contractor to install these improvements and meet the revised design specifications. At Gertie Barrett Park, it was determined that the proposed stormwater management improvements needed to be enlarged to provide adequate water volume controls, additional asphalt was needed to replace an existing drive, minor adjustments were needed for the restroom/splash pad water line, and additional ADA ramp inserts were needed. At McClendon Park West, it was determined that the existing water line needed to be extended to the back of the park to support the new basketball court improvements. Staff also requested that the restroom fixtures at both parks be upgraded to stainless steel.
Staff recommends approval of change orders #1 and #2 to the CMAR contract with The Fain Group, Inc., in the amount of $92,123.12, increasing the GMP total to $3,692,264.08. The MPFDC Board of Directors approved the contract change orders 7-0 at their regular meeting on February 16, 2023.
Justification
The proposed improvements in the change orders are required in order to fulfill the projects’ original intent and are due to unforeseen conditions on the project sites.
