FAIRGROUNDS 11-05-14
The Board considered waiving the Purchasing Procedures and awarding civil engineering services for the Fairgrounds Capital Improvement Project (CIP). Sarah Plinsky, Assistant County Administrator, presented the item.
In 2013, the County Commission approved a design services contract with Treanor Architects to prepare the design development documents for the Fairgrounds Master Plan. Those documents were used by MarLan Construction to determine preliminary cost estimates for the Fairgrounds Capital Project. In 2014, the County Commission again approved design services to Treanor Architects for the Fairgrounds CIP. The next step is to secure a civil engineer to prepare planning submittal documents. According to Plinsky, Landplan Engineering has done a significant amount of preparation on this project since 2006. If we were to go through a formal process and request proposals at this point in time, it would set us back significantly. We’re close to being ready to submit site plan drawings and documents as part of the planning process for this project. Landplan will be key and instrumental in helping the County through this development.
Thellman opened the item for public comment. No comment was received.
Flory moved to waive the Purchasing Procedures and award civil engineering services for the Fairgrounds Capital Improvement Project to Landplan Engineering in the amount of $115,000; and authorized the County Administrator to approve change orders up to 5% of the award amount. Motion was seconded by Thellman and carried 3-0.
