I I BACKGROUND I I The project involves constructing an approximately 12,100-square foot building adjacent to the Public Works Department's current facility at 255 Glacier Drive in Martinez. The new building will address current overcrowding and integrate staff currently located in three nearby modular buildings and an off-site office. The County's childcare facility, which is also located in a nearby modular building, will be included in the new building. I The "Construction Manager At-Risk" ("CM At-Risk") project delivery method is being utilized on the project. Typically, the CM At-Risk method provides improved cost control, better allocates risk, and enhances project collaboration. On January 10, 2006, the Board approved a consulting services agreement with Swinerton Builders ("Swinerton") to provide construction management services for the project. With the CM At-Risk project delivery method, numerous trade Iscopes of work were developed (e.g., earthwork, concrete, site utilities, framing, mechanical, and electrical) and incorporated into the bid documents. I The project plans and specifications were previously filed with and approved by the Board of Supervisors, and bids were duly invited from the various trades involved in the project. Bids were originally received and opened by the County Capital Projects Management Division on September 14, 2006. Subsequently, on October 10 and October 24, the Board took action to reject all bids for the trade contracts that include earthwork, plumbing, cast-in-place concrete, and rebar. The trade contracts for these scopes of work were re-bid, and the following bids for Bid Package 1 were received and opened on November 9, 2006: TRADE CONTRACT SCOPE OF WORK Bidder Bid Amount (Summary Description)I 02225, 02300, 02741, 02935, 03100, 03200, 03300, 03360, 03401, 07260 - Sitework demo, earthwork, ac paving, rebar, cast-in-place concrete Jos.
