*This project has been approved by the Planning Commission and Architectural and Historical Review Board.
Purpose & Explanation
The initial low bid for the clubhouse project’s building construction was $2,780,000.00. This bid did not include the revised estimate of $400,000.00 for soft goods. After a thorough review by the staff and Perspectus Architecture, recommended changes have been made to reduce the building construction costs by $401,163.84. Consequently, the revised estimated cost for building construction is $2,400,000.00. When adding the $400,000.00 for soft goods the total comes to 2,800,000.00. Additionally, a contingency of $100,000.00 (5%) is proposed, bringing the final total to $2,900,000.00. With Council approval, the staff seeks legislation authorizing the City Manager to publicly bid the project. Staff will return to Council after bids are received for permission to award the project.
