The scope of work includes constructing a hallway between the weight room and cardio
room (handball court 3) and modifying the emergency exit stairs. I also requested a
proposed bid reduction if the date of substantial completion was changed from 90 days
after Notice to Proceed to June 15 2016. 1 do not recommend accepting the $3,000
deduction offered by Blazy to postpone construction.
As a matter of course Architects do not typically provide estimates to construct.
Therefore they are not very experienced with estimating. For an additional fee we could
have procured a professional estimating company's estimate. We usually pay for this
service for multi - million dollar vertical construction projects only. Despite the seemingly
large difference between the estimate and the low bid, the low bid is very reasonable as
evidenced by the other contractor's proposals. I have discussed possible changes to the
design with the contractor, architect, and structural engineer, and we did not determine
any value engineering proposals.
This project includes multiple disciplines, including roofing, specialty flooring, electrical,
interior finishes, exterior finishes, civil site work, rough and finish carpentry, concrete,
metal flashing, insulation, etc. The fact that the construction is an addition to an existing
facility and must match old existing materials also adds a significant level of complexity.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
