approximately five years. This work will need to be completed in order to construct a new Fire Station #2. This step was approved by the City Council in August 2014. UPDATE: BKV Group has completed final design. BKV Group completed site plan review on January 13. BKV Group is finalizing bid documents now. The most recent budget estimates from BKV Group are as follows: Construction Costs: $3,390,000 Soft Costs: $461,000, Sub Total: $3,851,000 (about $140,000 increase from preliminary design; step 3 above). The reason for the increased costs are as follows: (1) inflation on material costs (2) negative supply/demand effects on construction industry (3) unforeseen earthwork (4) staff recommendation to increase "construction administration" services by the architect. NOTE: these costs don't include financing costs. See budget section of case for details. 5. Letting Bid & Bid Award -- The purpose of the case tonight is to initiate this step in the project process. The purpose of this stage is to let bids, attain bids, and potentially award the proposed construction project to a general contractor. Estimated Construction period set at 11 months 6. Construction Administration Upon awarding a bid to a general contractor, BKV Group will administer the construction process in conjunction with a general contractor. This stage of the process is execution/construction.
