CGUNTYADMINISTRATGR'S CGMMENTS:
BACKGRGUND:
The New South Co~~nty Library has a budget of $18,000,000. 4f this amount, $16,290,000
was included in the 2008 Lease Revenue Bond Sale. To date we have spent $1,307,824
on the project.
The construction budget for the project was $12,339,990. When the construction bids
were opened on August 21, 2008, they were significantly over budget 4with the low bid
being 32°/0 over budget}.
SUMMARY GF INFGRMAl'IGN:
County staff I~as spent several months evaluating why the construction bids were so far
over budget, with the goal of bringing the project within budget. Even though construction
prices have decreased since the bid date, that alone will not be sufficient without some
redesign of the project.
1
After careful review and negotiations, staff recommends restructuring the professional
services for the library, so that the architectural firm of Holzheimer Bolek + Meehan ~HBM~,
and their affiliated Local firm of ~vVPR, will be responsible for the following services;
1. Redesign of the projectwithin budget
2. Providing construction estimates
3. Coordinating the Clerk of the vVorks for the on-site review during construction
4. Coordinating the Commissioning needed for the project
This contract amendment will provide an additional $250,000 to HBM for their services.
These funds will be available from reallocating other professional services lines within the
budget. The total project budget will not change.
The redesign will begin immediately. fur goal will be to maintain the program functionality
of the building. The project will be ready to rebid in May 2009.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This contract amendment will be funded from within the total project budget. No budget
appropriation is needed.
STAFF REC~I~I~ENDATI~N:
Staff recommends amending the contractwith Holzheimer Bolek+ Meehan to provide an
additional $250,000 for their services as outlined above. In addition, payments to the Clerk
of the vVorks and the Commissioning agent may be paid through HBM. The amended
contract will be in a form approved by the County Attorney.

Request for additional funding of $81,376 for replacement of
Bent Mountain Fire and Rescue Station Parking Lot
Anne Marie Green
Director of General Services
John M. Chambliss, Jr.
County Administrator
CaUNTY ADMINISTRATaR'S COMMENTS:
SUMMARY 4F INFQRMAI'IQN:
The parking lot and aprons at the Bent Mountain fire station were originally put in place in
1980 when the station was built. Since that time, weather, weight of vehicles, and snow
melting products have been eroding the asphalt and concrete to the point where the
deterioration was becoming an operational issue. Both the career and volunteer personnel
at the station expressed concerns, and the Facilities Management Division of General
Services had enough funding in its budget last year to meet the estimated replacement
cost of $160,000.
The project was put out to bid in the spring of X008, and awarded to New River
Construction Company for $158,64, with no contingency. Once the work began, however,
it became apparent that the cost was going to rise due to several factors.
• The soil underi7eath the original asphalt and concrete in the front of the building
wasn't compacted as much as it should have been originally, which may have
contributed to the disintegration over the years. Because of this, the contractor had
to compact it further, making it 1-112 feet below the grade of the property. This
required additional stone to bring it up tothe level ofthe building.
• In anticipation of a similar problem at the back of the building, the contractor dug
deeper to allow for more compaction, but encountered a serious problem with water.
The County's independent engineering firm recommended stone and a special
matting material used by Virginia Department of Transportation ~VDGT~ to keep the
ground water out of the area.
• As the contractor moved away from the building, he encountered massive amounts
of ground water, necessitating additional matting and gravel. To date, almost 2,000
tons of gravel have been used, and the contractor expects to use 1,500 more before
the project is finished.
• ~fhe water and electrical lines that serve the building from the well house were
original to the facility, and staff decided it would bean appropriate time to replace
those lines, so that the parking lot will no~~ have to dug up in the future if there is a
problem. The lines have been placed in a sleeve so that any repairs can be done
wi~~hout harn~~ing the pavement above. This was not planned at the beginning of the
project, but it became apparent that it would prevent additional expenditures in the
future, and was well worth the cost.
In order to continue paying the contractor far work on the project, funding has been coming
from the General ServiceslFacilities Capital Maintenance Account, which is used
throughout the year for large capital improvements and repairs to county buildings.
Attached is a list of other expenditures from that account during ~rhis fiscal year, which
shows the type of projects it ordinarily covers. While we have covered A&E costs for Bent
Mountain from that account, we are not asking for reimbursementforthose sums. If that
account is not reimbursed for tl7e change orders, there will be no funding for the rest of the
yearforemergency orroutine capital projects, including the planned replacement rooffor
the Vinton Library.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The original contract and contingency in the amount of $158,624.00 has been expended.
Funding for the change orders will require an additional $81,316.00, which is available in
the minor capital account.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. The Board can approve this request and allocate $81,376 from the minor capital
account to cover the additional costs for this project.
2. The Board can direct staff to cover the cost from the General Services Capital
Maintenance Account.
2
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of Alternative 1. County buildings are aging and need
continual maintenance and improvement. Repairs not performed now will lead to more
expensive work in the future.
