3.1. Presentation, discussion and or official action with regard to bids received on May 19, 2016, for the construction of additions and renovations to the Palmyra Junior-Senior High School building located in Palmyra, Nebraska (the “Project”).
Discussion:
Tim Ripp reviewed the Palmyra bid tab information from five bidders. Tim informed the Board that Clark Enersen will be in conversation with the low bidder to review the project for valued engineering items that can be approached in a cost saving effort. Those items will not be substantial material changes to the project. Tim commented that he would prefer not to rebid or redesign the project. Board members Steward and Haight asked what portion of the project or what specific timing issues led to the cost increase. Board member Steward asked about the design of the current structure and whether some items could be eliminated. Tim and Rayme discussed the process for redesign and associated costs. Board member Steward asked who does the final inspection on concrete work. Tim replied that the building will be constructed to national building code.
Susan asked Tim to explain the overage noted at $750,000. He noted that some of the soft costs would not be covered even with the low bid that was received.
No action was taken on this item due to the bid cost received May 19th and as presented by Clark Enersen with a recommendation to review the bid from Sampson Construction and to negotiate value engineering options to bring the bid within budget.
