UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> 5.1 Town Goals <br /> Mayor O'Malley outlined the Town Goals that he believed are critical and would like to <br /> bring to fruition during his term. He will be directing his primary attention to building <br /> the new Town Hall on time and on budget. O'Malley announced that the ground <br /> breaking ceremony had been scheduled for July 15, 2004. <br /> 5.1.1 Complete Town Hall On Time and On Budget <br /> 5.1.1 a TBI Update <br /> Tony Mirenda, President, TBI Construction Management, addressed Council. He <br /> explained that the Town Hall project was being bid for construction using a process <br /> referred to as multiple prime delivery where competitive bids are received for all <br /> elements of the project. On June 8, 2004, 19 bid packages were received. TBI had <br /> • <br /> solicited bids from 64 different contractors. Mirenda explained that 15 of the 19 bid <br /> packages were under budget, however, the 4 remaining packages that comprise a majority <br /> of the primary structural portion of the building were unacceptable and will be re-bid. He <br /> reported that they are seeing unprecedented escalation in material prices and labor costs. <br /> The labor costs are being primarily driven by increases in worker's compensation. <br /> Mirenda noted that the he is working closely with the Architect to review the scope of <br /> work in the problem areas and to investigate alternative materials and redesign options. <br /> Currently,the 4 packages are approximately$500,000 over budget. Mirenda believes that <br /> with a successful competitive re-bidding, a majority of this can be recaptured. He <br /> concluded by noting that the two contracts before Council this evening for consideration, <br /> hazmat abatement and demolition, were under budget and work will begin later this <br /> month. The construction schedule will not be impacted by the re-bid. <br /> Mayor O'Malley acknowledged that the Council and New Town Hall Committee are <br /> committed to the New Town Hall design that was approved by the residents. It is a <br /> simple, functional building and he encouraged TBI to work creatively to resolve the <br /> building costs. <br /> Councilmember Kerr reported that if necessary, he would schedule a Special New Town <br /> Hall meeting to award the solar contract. This would accommodate the deadline for <br /> submittal of projects to Pacific Gas and Electric's rebate programs. <br /> • <br /> 4 City Council Special Meeting Minutes <br /> June 16,2004 <br />
