Title
CPAC Modernization Phase 2 and OPHFC Pool Renovation Projects - Construction Administration
History
In 2022, the Public Works Department established Master Service Agreements (MSAs) for Professional MEP and Architectural Services with seven (7) firms based on RFQ 22-004. The MSAs allow the Village to request proposals from these pre-qualified A/E firms for facility improvement projects from 2022-2024, with the option to extend any of those contracts for an additional two (2) years. At that time, the Village Board approved selected firms were Cordogan Clark Associates, Farnsworth Group Inc., Kluber Architects Engineers, Valdes Engineering Company, Tria Architecture, Williams Architects, and Robert Juris Associates Architects. Since the original approvals, MSAs have been extended for all firms except for Robert Juris Associates Architects, which was acquired by a different company.
On September 5, 2024, the Village Board approved the proposal from Tria Architecture for A/E Services for the CPAC Modernization Project (see 2023-0667). Subsequently, on April 15, 2024, the Village Board approved the proposal from Tria Architecture for A/E Services for the OPHFC Pool Renovation Project (see 2024-0271). Tria Architecture (“Tria”) has since completed Schematic Documents (SDs), Construction Documents (CDs), and Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) permitting for both projects.
Utilizing the same A/E firm that completed the project CDs to also provide Construction Administration (CA) services is ideal to ensure project efficiency to review submittals, conduct site inspections, answer RFIs, and address other design issues. As such, the Public Works Department requested a proposal from Tria to provide CA Services, including bidding assistance and a design allowance, for CPAC Modernization Phase 2 and OPHFC Pool Renovation Projects (RFP 25-001).
The Public Works Department is now requesting approval from the Village Board to approve the proposal from Tria Architecture in the amount of $177,372.00 plus a $20,000.00 contingency for a total cost not to exceed $197,372.00 for Construction Administration Services for CPAC Modernization Phase 2 and OPHFC Pool Renovation Projects (RFP 25-001). This project is projected to be completed by the end of 2027.
Financial Impact
For CA Services for the CPAC Modernization Phase 2 and OPHFC Pool Renovation Projects, a total of $135,000.00 was budgeted in FY2026, while a total of $135,000.00 was budgeted in FY2027, for a combined budgeted total of $270,000.00 in capital account 3008010-570100.
