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.
• Council approval is needed to execute subcontractor agreements including delegated design contracts for site foundational systems and other critical infrastructure items.
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.
The current resolution before the Town Council includes the Second Amendment to the CMaR Contract to facilitate the execution of subcontractor and vendor contracts, and the early procurement of foundation and site utility materials to ensure project mobilization remains on schedule for the Construction Phase of this Contract. The cost as recommended is $1,128,588.
FUTURE AMENDMENTS:
Staff anticipates bringing to Town Council for approval one final amendment to this CMaR Agreement. The final amendment will be for the balance of the work for the Final Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the expansion. The Final GMP will not exceed the agreed amount of $41,194,462 Fixed Limit of Construction Cost (FLCC).
