All bids rejected because they exceeded the construction budget. Low bid exceeded budget by plus/minus $3m. List of potential design/material changes developed by design team and Parks. Cost estimates for proposed changes discussed at 6-6-06 meeting with Bob B and managers. Strategy for completing project includes: -combining overall project construction budgets (building& sitework) -reduce overall project cost with agreed upon design and material changes -seek additional funding for those things not within existing funding(ie. finish spaces, parking etc) -use construction management/bid package delivery system -get initial bid package defined and bid ASAP. Construction starts ASAP. This will not accelerate project initially because work still must be bid and the bid period has to be long enough to get favorable bids. Overall it may save time and money because if problems arise each package can be dealt with separately. Design team (including CPMI)met to discuss construction changes and way to proceed. We will be rebidding project in construction packages under a construction manager process beginning in mid July. The Design Advisory Committee met on June 21st to discuss proposed project changes. There was general agreement on the changes and the approach for o btaining additional funding for project. Site plan review application has been submitted. This is required for building • permits.
