HS #4 CM Agreement - Neff (Final 9-10-18) (4319008_3).pdf
Summary: On April 10, 2018, the District received fourteen (14) proposals in response to the formal notice requesting qualified Construction Management (CM) firms to assist with future capital facility projects. After review of each proposal and contacting school district references, the Facilities team selected five (5) firms to be included within an approved list of qualified construction management companies. This list of firms was approved by the Board of Trustees on May 16, 2018.

The Facilities team is recommending Neff Construction Incorporated be assigned to the High School #4 Project. The project will consist of the construction of the High School #4 Project to include pre-construction services, and all construction management services necessary for the construction of the onsite and offsite facilities as per project documents. The total estimate for this project is $160,000,000 of which $139,565,252 is the current estimate for hard construction costs, not including soft costs. The attached Construction Management Services Agreement allows Construction Management (CM) fees of four percent (4 percent) of the construction cost and General Condition (GC) fees of $5,582,610 in addition to Reimbursable Expenses as permitted. CM fees, while initially based on estimated construction costs, are ultimately adjusted based on actual construction costs. Based on the current estimated cost of construction, CM fees at 4 percent are estimated to be $5,582,610 for a total of $11,165,220 when considering CM and GC fees.

The process for selection of Construction Management firms is followed pursuant to Government Code 4526, which states selection shall be on the basis of demonstrated competence and on the professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required. The selection of Neff Construction Incorporated, for this project was determined using guidelines as identified per Government Code 4527(b).
Funding: The cost for this item is included in the 2018-19 operating budget funded through various facilities funds, not the General Fund.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the Construction Management Services Agreement between the District and Neff Construction Incorporated, for the High School #4 Project.
