SARASOTA MANATEE AIRPORT AUTHORITY NOVEMBER 22, 2021 MEETING STAFF NARRATIVE
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL: CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK FOR THE TERMINAL CONCOURSE B RENOVATIONS AND NEW GROUND LOADING CONCOURSE PROJECT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Board selected DeAngelis Diamond – Magnum Builders (DDM) as the number one ranked firm at the August Board meeting to provide Construction Manager at Risk services for the Terminal Concourse B Renovations and the new Ground Loading Concourse Project. The fee for pre-construction services was negotiated in the amount of $398,388.00. It is anticipated that multiple early release packages with Guaranteed Maximum Prices (GMP) will be presented at subsequent Board meetings for approval of construction services.
NARRATIVE: With the significant increases in airline traffic, an expansion of the terminal is required to maintain good level of service for passengers. To expedite construction the Board selected DDM as the Construction Manager at Risk to construct a Terminal Concourse B expansion and construct a new Ground Loading Concourse. The Concourse B Expansion project will include various upgrades and renovations to the existing concourse. The project's key goals are to expand the existing holdroom capacity, expand and/or increase concessions areas, improve efficiency of the arrival/departure gate areas, install an additional ingress/egress escalator system, and evaluate and upgrade power and utilities. The new Ground Loading Concourse will construct a new ground loading concourse with a minimum of five (5) additional gates at the east side of the terminal. It is anticipated that this project will be constructed through several bid packages to accelerate the construction schedule.
A detailed design scope was prepared by DDM and submitted to staff for review. A third-party consultant was contracted to conduct an independent fee estimate (IFE) analysis of the project's pre-construction scope. Utilizing the results from the IFE, staff negotiated a fee in the amount of $398,388.00 with DDM. The final design fee is under the IFE, and is approximately 0.6% of the estimated construction costs.
This project has received partial funding commitments through FAA and FDOT. Additional funding is being requested, and a PFC application is being prepared for this project.
RECOMMENDATION: It is hereby recommended that the Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority authorize the Chairman to execute a CMAR contract with DeAngelis Diamond-Magnum Builders in the amount of $398,388.00 with a 10% contingency providing an authorized level of $438,227.00. Staff also requests authorization to prepare all documents necessary to implement this action.
