Body

BACKGROUND

 

On December 13, 2023, the City of Dallas authorized a Construction Manager at Risk agreement (CMAR agreement) with JE Dunn-Russell, a joint venture, to provide the preconstruction and construction services for the Project with a preconstruction services fee in the amount of $145,000.00 and a construction management services rate of two and ninety-five hundredths percent (2.95%) of the cost of construction within the total estimated project construction budget, by Resolution No. 23-1688.

 

On February 28, 2024, the City of Dallas authorized Supplemental Agreement No. 1, which included a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and an Owner’s Contingency, in an amount not to exceed $52,926,620.00, to provide an increase to the CMAR agreement with JE Dunn-Russell to provide construction services for Part One of the Project, by Resolution No. 24-0378.

 

The original scope for Part Two of the Project includes a renovation of restrooms and concession spaces on multiple levels, renovation of Levels 05 and 06, additional renovation on Level 7, removal of the ramps at the West Concourse, an expansion of the West Concourse for additional pedestrian circulation and mobile concessions, as well as installation of 6 elevators and 14 escalators. This work was priced by the CMAR as their base Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) in an amount of $58,560,833.00. The Project has an increased total estimated construction budget so that additional construction services and equipment (requested by the Park and Recreation Department), which were outside the original scope of the work, can completed during Part Two of the Project. Please note that the equipment would have to be provided in all cases by the City as an owner’s cost.  By having the CMAR be responsible for that scope item, it will streamline the project completion as well as potentially be a cost savings measure. 

 

Specifically, the additional construction services include further improvements to existing mechanical and plumbing systems, security improvements that include a video surveillance system and an access control system, structural repairs as well as food service equipment for kitchens and concession areas (as described above). This additional work was priced by the CMAR at $4,561,326.00. These prices combined make up the total GMP price stated above. The Project will continue to be constructed over two timeframes with Part One to be completed by September 12, 2024 and Part Two, to be completed by September 12, 2025.
