City Council Meeting Minutes November 16, 2017 Page 2of4 Memory Square Swimming Pool less the new multi -activity (MAC) gymnasium and interior work and finishes for the Recreation Senior Center in the amount of $10,136,968. Staff anticipates one more amendment to the contract to come to Council on December 19 for the finishes for the Recreation/Senior Center and for the multi -activity gym. Staff is waiting to see if the City received a Department of Local Affairs grant for the MAC gym Director Stevens clarified that the Rec Center bond proceeds were incorrect in the packet. They should have been $28,300,000. Staff will come back for a final GMP in December and at that time will have firm numbers with all of the subcontractors under contract. Changes should only happen after that if there are materials shortages or other unanticipated issues. Until all the subcontractors are under contract these numbers could change slightly. Today's total estimate is $31,709,617 but some of the numbers are still in flux. Director Stevens added staff is requesting an additional $250,000 for cost escalation related to additional caissons required for swimming pool support, drywall, and a very active market for subcontractors. Some add alternates under consideration are a filtration system and lazy river upgrades for the aquatics area. Add alternates will be determined as the budget is finalized. Brian Schack, project manager, Saunders Construction, gave an update on the project. He stated demolition is underway and digging continues for the new natatorium. The caissons will be dug in the next few weeks. The next phases are skin of the building and ceiling. Interim City Manager Balser stated approval tonight would also allow work to begin on Memory Square in the next few weeks. She clarified that the next contract amendment will be done on December 19, not on November 28th as stated in the packet. Once contracts are approved staff will continue to give Council updates regularly through construction. Attorney Light noted amendments have been made to the contract since packet publication. A redlined version is presented on the dais tonight. The contract states Saunders has the right to request increases, but only in very limited circumstances. He noted on pages 5 and 6 of the exhibit there is a large section removed which relates to soils issues. This was addressed at an earlier Council meeting so it was removed from this document. Mayor Muckle asked for public comment. None. 49
