Agenda Item No. 7A. Consider - Approve Funding for Lee Lewis Construction, Inc. as
Construction Manager Agent of the North DPS Facility. Board Members were reminded of
their recommendation at the June CCPD Meeting for Staff to enter into negotiations with Lee
Lewis Construction, Inc. as Construction Manager Agent for the North DPS facility. The
Standard AIA agreements for Construction Manager Agent with modifications recommended by
RPGA Design Group, City Attorney and Staff were provided to Board Members for their review
and comments. Chief Price explained that Lee Lewis Construction would not be making a bid as
constructor of the North site. He said Lee Lewis Construction would work with the architect to
develop bid specs and that the City would hold all bids and contracts. Chief Price also informed
Board Members that the Industry Standard for these services range from 3% to 6%, and the
contract with Lee Lewis Construction stipulates a base cost of $520,000 with a 4% increase to
costs over the estimated cost of $13,000,000. Additionally, Chief Price stated Lee Lewis
Construction will not receive payment until commencement of construction, and by getting them
on board in the early stages of the process, savings can be realized.
Board Members should contact Staff with any input to the Lee Lewis Construction, Inc.
agreements. Staff will incorporate appropriate changes before the agreements are forwarded to
Council for approval.
