Approve an ordinance amending the existing Maple Street Lofts Redevelopment Agreement to increase the Parking Garage Project Funding Cap to $6,879,569 and authorize the mayor to execute a construction manager at risk with guaranteed maximum price agreement with Nicholas & Associates, Inc. of Mount Prospect,, Illinois for construction of the Maple Street Parking Deck. Public Works Director Sean Dorsey provided a brief overview of the Maple Street Loft Development. Mr. Dorsey stated Nicholas & Associates submitted a Guaranteed Maximum Price to construct the 268 -space parking deck in conjunction with the Maple Street Loft development. Mr. Dorsey reviewed the conditions of the redevelopment agreement approved by the Village on April 9,, 2019. The scope of work did not include the design and construction of the Village -owned parking structure. The Village Board awarded a contract to Walker Consultants on April 16, 2019 for the design and construction the parking deck. However ,, Mr. Dorsey stated, due to the complexity of constructing the parking structure and building so close together (building A will share a wall with the parking ZF structure), the use of a single contractor would benefit the project. The redevelopment agreement included provisions tto negotiate a separate agreement for the developer to construct the parking deck. Mr. Dorsey stated Nicholas & Associates submitted a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) to construct the deck which will feature 268 parking spaces. Mr. Dorsey provided an explanation of a construction project delivery method associated with GMP known as construction manager at risk (CMAR) and the benefits of utilizing this method. The Village has utilized this method to construct several key buildings in the past. Mr. Dorsey displayed a birds -eye views of the proposed parking deck and views from Maple Street, Elm Street and Dawsol 9)treets. I Key features of the design include: • Lighted interior One elevator • Fire suppression •Emergency electrical generator Rough -in electric and communication for electric vehicle charging stations and closed circuit television cameras Features not included: • Interior concrete staining or painting - except stairwell • External "blade signs" • Parking notification system • Second elevator • Charging equipment for electric vehicles • Closed circuit cameras Mr. Dorsey provided GMP analysis summary. The cost per stall is approximately $25,000; market research indicate the rangit for similar projects is $22,000 - $30,000 per stall. A discussion regarding the varying costs for this project followed. Mr. Dorsey stated below grade construction was eliminated from the project due to the high construction cost. Some components of the construction are not included in the GMP because it will cost more if the developer is responsible for construction. There are smaller projects the Village can execute at a lower cost. https://go.boarddocs.com/il/vomp/Board.nsf/Private?open&login 3/5 11/24/2020 BoardDocs® Pro Mr. Dorsey and Mr. Papanicholas p ovided the following in response to uestions from the Board Regarding security system for the deck, electric and communication components will be roughed in; cameras are relatively inexpensive.
