Report

Summary

The purpose of this project is to renovate and upgrade unfinished spaces in the historic Monroe School Building. The Capital Improvement Project intends to develop and finish areas that comply with building codes to transition approximately 28,000 square feet of building shell space to public exhibit, event, and support staff spaces.

 

Chasse Building Team, Inc. will begin in an agency support role for Construction Manager at Risk Preconstruction Services. Chasse Building Team, Inc. will assume the risk of delivering the project through a Guaranteed Maximum Price agreement.

 

Chasse Building Teams, Inc.’s Preconstruction Services include, but are not limited to: providing detailed cost estimating, project planning and scheduling, construction phasing and scheduling that will minimize interruption to City operations, alternate systems evaluation and constructability studies, advise City on ways to gain efficiencies in project delivery, provide long-lead procurement studies and initiate procurement of long lead items, assist in permitting processes, protect City on choosing green building materials, and participating with the City in a process to establish a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) goal for the project.

 

Chasse Building Team, Inc.'s initial Construction Services will include preparation of a Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal provided under the agreement. Chasse Building Team, Inc. will be responsible for construction means and methods related to the project and fulfilling the SBE program requirements. Chasse Building Team, Inc. will be required to solicit bids from pre qualified subcontractors and to perform the work using the City’s subcontractor selection process. Chasse Building Team, Inc. may also compete to self-perform limited amounts of work.

 

Chasse Building Team, Inc.'s additional Construction Services include constructing the Children's Museum of Phoenix Expansion, selecting subcontractor/suppliers for this project, preparing a Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal that needs the approval of the City, coordinating with various City of Phoenix departments, other agencies and utility companies, arranging for procurement of materials and equipment, scheduling and managing site operations, providing quality controls, bonding and insuring the construction, and other work as required for a complete project.

 

Procurement Information

The selection was made using a qualifications-based selection process set forth in section 34-603 of the Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.). In accordance with A.R.S. section 34-603(H), the City may not publicly release information on proposals received or the scoring results until an agreement is awarded. Eleven firms submitted proposals and are listed in Attachment A.

 

Contract Term

The term of the agreement is five years from issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Work scope identified and incorporated into the agreement prior to the end of the term may be agreed to by the parties, and work may extend past the termination of the agreement. No additional changes may be executed after the end of the term.

 

Financial Impact

The agreement value for Chasse Building Team, Inc. will not exceed $4 million, including all subcontractor and reimbursable costs.

 

Funding is available in the Arts and Culture Department's Capital Improvement Program budget utilizing the General Obligation Bond funds.
