Report

Summary

The purpose of this project is to build a new community center on the property located at Cesar Chavez Park. The community center will serve as a resource center for the surrounding community providing services such as recreation and sports activities, as well as providing multi-purpose space and classrooms for activities and events. The building will be designed to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance; fire, life, and safety standards; and will strive to achieve the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards and principles. Improvements will also include parking, hardscape and landscape, irrigation, security lighting, and other elements as required.

 

Sun Eagle Corporation will begin in an agency support role for CMAR Preconstruction Services. Sun Eagle Corporation will assume the risk of delivering the project through a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) agreement.

 

Sun Eagle Corporation’s services include, but are not limited to: review of design plans and specifications; providing detailed construction cost estimating and identification of market conditions; project planning and scheduling; construction phasing and scheduling to minimize interruption to City operations; providing alternate systems evaluation and constructability studies; advising the City on potential efficiencies in project delivery; performing and initiating long-lead studies and procurements; assisting in permitting processes; and protecting the owner's sensitivity to quality, safety and environmental factors. A Small Business Enterprise goal will be established for this project upon substantial completion of Preconstruction Services and prior to the start of construction.
