Rationale:
Via Resolution 17.5 at their stated meeting on January 20, 2016 the Board of Trustees awarded a requirements contract to Greenman Pedersen, Inc. (GPI) for an amount not to exceed $1 million. This resolution is to assign the following specific capital work under that contract.

Via Resolution 19.14 at their stated meeting on May 18, 2016 the Board of Trustees authorized the assignment of the above subject task to GPI.

This resolution is to authorize the amendment of the fee for that task to correct mathematical errors in GPI’s original proposal. This was agreed to in July of 2016 but the resolution and was inadvertently omitted from submission to the Board agendas in the interim.

GPI’s original proposal was demonstrated not have included standard multipliers and a prescribed roofing consultant fee. Once these errors were shown clearly and the final negotiations completed the revised proposed price remained the substantially lower than all other proposers.

Most of the tasks assigned to GPI are completed and the construction is nearing completion as well. Closeout paperwork will continue until the end of calendar year 2019, a year longer later than anticipated in the original RFP.

This project includes but is not limited to building improvements such as: new roof, replace all windows and exterior doors, install new high tech security, select sidewalk, site fencing and interior finishes reconstruction. Project cost is roughly $4.5 million.
