Title
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE FINAL NEGOTIATION AND EXECUTION OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN BURKE CONSTRUCTION GROUP, INC. AND THE MARGATE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY FOR THE DAVID PARK PAVILLION AND PARKING IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
BACKGROUND: This project included the construction of a large structured pavilion, a pre-fab bathroom, new parking area with decorative bollards, additional site lighting and landscaping. Four bids were originally received for this project, ranging in total cost from $508,180 to $656,998, all in excess of the project budget of $350,000. At the March Board meeting, the Executive Director indicated that the project could likely be brought in within the budgeted amount if the bathroom and associated piping were eliminated, along with other value engineering.
Over the past month, CRA staff and Burke Construction Group, Inc. have discussed various cost savings measures. The most recent cost proposal did come in at just under the $350k budget (see backup); however, this proposal was received shortly before the agenda deadline, which did not allow sufficient time for final review and any further negotiation by Staff. We are confident, however, that the contract price and overall agreement can be finalized in a very short time frame.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Executive Director to finalize the price negotiation with Burke Construction Group, Inc., at a total cost not to exceed $350,000, inclusive of 10% contingency and permit fees, and authorize the Board Chairman to execute the Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not to exceed $350,000.
