BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
The Sand Dune Café building replacement project was approved by the Board of County Commissioners via the FY24 Capital Improvement Plan. The project is currently in design for building replacement with a 3,000 square-foot commercial kitchen and dining building, access improvements, and associated site work.
This multi-phased construction project adjacent to, in and around an occupied beach front park is perfectly suited for the CMAR process. The construction manager will provide plan and phasing review comments during the design phase of the project instead of providing change orders that typically develop during multi-phased projects using the Design-Bid-Build process. The construction manager will also provide a project schedule and detailed cost estimates earlier in the process, during the design versus waiting until the project is bid as with the Design-Bid-Build process. The project schedule and cost estimates will help with the design and phasing of the project and allow us to procure long lead items in advance to reduce construction delays. The early plan review, logistics and coordination of this work by a construction manager using the CMAR process will be critical to the success of the project.
Pursuant Section 17.5 of the Martin County Purchasing Manual, County staff is requesting permission to use the Construction Management at Risk (CMAR) delivery method for this construction project. This delivery method shall comply with Section 287.055, Florida Statutes.
ISSUES:
None
LEGAL SUFFICIENCY REVIEW:
This item has been reviewed for legal sufficiency to determine whether it is consistent with applicable law, has identified and addressed legal risks, and has developed strategies for legal defensibility.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
RECOMMENDATION
Move that the Board approve the use of Construction Manager at Risk delivery method to construct the Sand Dune Café building replacement project.
Move that the Board adopted the revised FY25 Sand Dune Café Replacement Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Sheet.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS
Deny the use of the Construction Management at Risk delivery method and direct staff to use the Design-Bid-Build delivery method.
FISCAL IMPACT:
RECOMMENDATION
Allowing the use of the CMAR delivery process for this multi-phased construction project will eliminate potential contractor change orders and will reduce construction delays. While the CMAR process can be more expensive up front, the additional costs will outweigh potential cost overruns resulting from contractor change orders and project delays. The implementation of this delivery method will assist during the design phase to determine a total project cost.
