SUMMARY/KEY POINTS
• This resolution ensures the Police Department Expansion and Remodel project stays on schedule and current budget projections are maintained.
• Council approval is needed to secure the most competitive and predictable pricing available to procure items and ensure items are received when needed for the project.
• The combined total of the First, Second, and Third Amendment costs together with the Phase 1 Pre-Construction Services fee establishes the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), as defined in the CMaR Contract between Fransen Pittman and the Town of Erie. This final GMP represents the total fixed limit of construction cost for the Project.
BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
On Sept. 10, 2024, the Town Council Approved the Award of a Consultant Contract to D2C Architects for the Police Department Expansion and Remodel Project Design. On Aug. 26, 2025, the Town approved the award of a Construction Manager at Risk (CMaR) agreement to Fransen Pittman Construction for Pre-Construction Phase services. On Oct. 28, 2025, the Town Council approved the First Amendment to CMaR with Fransen Pittman Construction for Construction Phase Services. On November 18, 2025, the Town Council approved the Second Amendment to CMaR with Fransen Pittman for Construction Phase Services.
The current resolution before the Town Council includes the Third Amendment to the CMaR Contract. The Third Amendment facilitates the execution of all remaining Construction Phase services including subcontractor and vendor contracts and all remaining equipment and materials to ensure the project remains on schedule for the Construction Phase of this Contract. The cost as recommended for the Third Amendment is $29,318,751, which establishes the final Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) of the CMaR contract, in the amount of $40,871,955
