Councilmember Buscher said it is great to hear that they are already getting ahead of things for <br />this project. She added that she is also pleased that Mr. Uhlhorn is being honest with the Council <br />that this is an aggressive timeline, but they still feel that it is doable. She shared that she is very <br />excited to be working with H + U Construction on this project. <br /> <br />Mayor Heineman asked if the not-to-exceed amount would protect the City after all of the bids <br />come back from the subcontractors. <br /> <br />Mr. Uhlhorn said yes and explained that the not-to-exceed amount will have some contingencies <br />in it that are controlled by H + U Construction; however, the savings would all go back to the City. <br /> <br />Mayor Heineman asked how often the entire contingency amount is used up on a project like this. <br /> <br />Mr. Uhlhorn said it has only happened one time for them. He stated that about 2% to 3% of the <br />project's value is used from the contingency amount during the project for design-related changes. <br /> <br />Parks and Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood shared that H + U Construction will have <br />a project manager on site at all times throughout this project. He said this gives them confidence <br />that every part of this project will be overseen, and they can keep all of the subcontractors on track. <br />He added that they will also be requesting approval to go out for quotes for the mass grading of <br />the project at the Council meeting this evening. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was supportive of this project and directed Staff to bring the <br />Construction Management Services contract forward to this evening’s Council meeting for <br />approval. <br /> <br />3.
