Motion by Hoffman, seconded by Samuelson, to W ATVE THE READING AND ADOPT THE RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY BY EMINENT DOMAIN. 5 Ayes - 0 Nays, Motion Carried. Consideration of Contract with EDS Consultants and construction management for construction of the Public Safety Facility. As opposed to letting one contract to a general contractor, who will employ many subcontractors to construct the facility, the construction manager utilizes a professional to bid multiple contracts to construct the facility. The construction manager schedules and controls the work like the general contractor, but works for and represents the City's interests, whereas a general contractor's decisions would tend to be more profit motivated. The cost to use a contract manager is less that the normal general contractor's markup for profit and overhead, so there should also be an overall savings in the project cost. The agreement fee for the construction management services for EDS Consultants and Construction Manager is $298,000. The fee does not include professional liability insurance which would cost an additional $4,500 per year. We are 1 recommending the professional liability insurance. Motion by Hoffman, seconded by Samuelson, to APPROVE THE AGREEMENT WITH EDS CONSULTANTS AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENTS SERVICES FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITY; AND PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE AT A COST OF $4,500.00. 5 Ayes - 0 Nays, Motion Carried.
