SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Earlier this year Town staff solicited proposals for Construction Management (CM) Services to assist in providing adequate oversight of various on-going construction projects within the Town. Four firms were selected for the Towns shortlist to provide the on-call services. RockSol Consulting was identified as one of the four firms selected.
Staff contacted RockSol to request a cost for construction oversight services for the South Roundabout and the County Line Road - Mitchell Way to Erie Parkway projects based on the hourly rates identified in the CM Services agreement. Staff coordinated with Rocksol on the anticipated effort necessary for services. Work will include daily oversight and inspection services. Quality Assurance geotechnical testing, weekly project coordination meetings, and outreach coordination with Economic Development, Communication & Community Engagement, and adjacent businesses.
The project duration is intended to extend from approximately June 1, 2025 until the end of December 2025. RockSol was selected to assist with this project due to their familiarity with previous construction management services provided on County Line Road. It is anticipated that their understanding of the Town’s needs and expectations and their familiarity with the corridor will provide a beneficial start to this project. The proposal cost of $277,080 totals 5.5% of the total project cost. Generally, Construction Management Services range from 5-10% of project cost depending on size and complexity.
