I. Construction Management Services: Approval of Contract
a. Manager McGuire presented the staff report.
b. Assistant City Manager Maglich presented the specifics of the report.
"Construction Management is a way to erect a building without the use of a general
contractor. The City hires the construction manager to represent their interests and
to coordinate the responsibilities of the owner, which is the City,-the architects,
the engineers and the subcontractors. The construction manager is a key player in
the pre-construction phase because it is during that phase that the architect puts
together the different designs and the cost benefit analysis occurs and the cost
estimating. The construction manager is the integral player during the construction
phase because they are on-site directing the work of the subcontractors. The three
things that a construction manager brings to the job site and the project are - the
project comes in on time; the project comes in on budget; and it is a quality
project.
10-26-92 I
"The selection process that was used for the City is that we sent out an RFP and
twelve proposals were received. Out of those twelve (an interview team was put
together of the City Manager, the Assistant City Manager, the Director of Parks and
Recreation and the Public Works Director; there were also two representatives from
the architectural firm) we short listed it down to four firms and brought those in
to interview. Out of the four firms, three were outstanding - M. A. Mortenson,
Kraus-Anderson, and McGough Construction. They were all outstanding in all of the
categories we judged them on, and eventually it came down, after a thorough
discussion, of looking at the fee structure. There was a consensus among the members
of the interview committee to recommend McGough Construction at a price of 5285,000
for the professional construction management services. There may be additional costs
on top of the 5285,000 those would be for reimbursables -for things like renting of
equipment or barriers, something that is on-site that the City could more
economically rent and pay for as opposed to having each sub-contractor put into their
contract.
"The staff recommendation is to bring on board McGough Construction for a contract
amount of 5285,000. There are two representatives from McGough here in the audience
if you have any questions."
c. Mayor Bastian asked for discussion.
Councilmember Zappa: In the interview, at what point was it brought up about these
reimbursable charges - did you discuss that with the four firms you interviewed, who
brought that up - staff or the construction manager?
Assistant Manager Maglich: It was part of the proposal - when we sent out the RFP
we asked for a fixed amount and the reimbursables, so with all of the firms we
interviewed it was part of the interview process.
Councilmember Zappa: And none of them included that in their bids from 5285,000 to
5350,000?
Assistant Manager Maglich: No
Councilmember Zappa: You made the statement that one of the three reasons for hiring
a construction manager is to bring the job in on time and also for quality
construction. What happens if the project doesn't come in on time - who gets fined
or what happens in that respect - and my other question is, not to have any ill will
toward anybody, but when this building was constructed it sat for a while and we had
some severe cracking out there in the floor - who takes care, who is going to pay the
City back for that type of faulty workmanship or not tamping the ground right or not
letting something settle, and then we've got some sagging - the building starts to
look a little bad because of that - who pays the City back for these kinds of things.
Assistant Manager Maglich: I think we are into a liability issue and a warranty
issue, so I will let the City Attorney handle that.
10-26-92 2
City Attorney. Kelly: One of the aspects of a construction manager is the assemblage
of the warranty and supervision of the work. We find that in dealing with projects,
architects tend to say "I designed it and how it is placed is really not my concern."
In dealing with large projects of this nature, the use of the eonstruction manager
has been successful in assemblage of the warranty booklets and also, on the question
of the tamping and the secondary inspections for liability, those are good questions
and basically it is on the construction managers shoulders, his or hers, to process
that and to allow a smooth transition between the project, the architect, the builder
and the manager itself.
Councilmember Zappa: Is the construction manager going to be required to have a bond
of some kind to fix up these flaws that show up six months later and are serious
flaws?
City Attorney Kelly: Yes. One of the things they have in part of the work is that
the warranty guarantees that - Mr. Haider can comment that we have been successful
on some projects in clarifying the warranties and exactly what it is - if it is a
straight out negligent defect or straight out defect in itself, the manager will help
us sign off -.but he or she is doing the double checking, too, on the sign-offs.
Mayor Bastian: I just recall the time when we put the addition on and we had two
doors designed without doorknobs, and through a change order we got to pay for that,
even though most people think that when you have a door you have some way to open it.
Councilmember Zappa: Mr. Mayor, you didn't pay for that doorknob in the first place,
that why the change order is valid - I've been hearing that for three years.
Councilmember Rossbach: I guess I, if anybody, should be prejudiced for general
contractors, I was one. But I am very enthusiastic about the construction manager
concept and favor that approach. One other point about bonding is that, because we
are a public entity, if we go to regular bids from contractors we have to accept any
and every bid that is proposed, and so to protect ourselves we immediately put a 5% -
we put a bond on it to guarantee completion and all this sort of thing. When you do
that, every contractor figures out his cost - X million dollars or whatever the price
might be - he checks with his bonding agent to find out what it is going to cost him
to provide that bond and immediately puts it on his bid price. You pay for that bond
from day one - the contractor doesn't pay for it - so you get kind of a jump right
off the bat in that respect, in my mind.
Councilperson Carlson: Just speaking from some knowledge of the construction
manager/owner's rep concept, I have seen it in operation and I think it is really
successful. On any kind of large project there are always jobs and issues that fell
between the cracks that no one seems to be responsible for and it ends up being the
owner's rep or the construction manager to make sure that those jobs get done, that
the contractor does not think he needs to do or whatever. So I think it is a very
good concept and I think it is well worth the money and I'm very excited about it.
10-26-92 3
_ Councilmember Zappa: I will go on record as being in favor of the construction
management services, however, you all know I'm already on record to see that the City
is going to get the best bang for their buck in this construction of the Community
Center. Now, the only thing I want to know is - and I asked George to speak to this
also - are we as a public entity and not the private sector - the public entity,
going to continue to get the short end of the stick when we have these large projects
built and after they're built there are flaws, who do we go to to get the things
fixed up. I would like to have that answered once and for all - anybody can make
mistakes, anything can happen afterward, but I think if we are going to spend this
kind of money we have to have some assurances from someone that if something happens
- like a house, now you get a 10-year guarantee - are we going to get a guarantee on
this building? Say that three years from now it starts to sag because of the ground
we are going to build it on, are we going to get it fixed up or are we going to have
to have Mr. Kelly and his firm go through excessive litigation to try to recover some
money. Can we do that once and for all and do this job right?
Manager McGuire: First off, we would go to the construction manager. I'm not sure
about three years, there are legal limits on how far back you can go on construction
projects, maybe Mr. Kelly can speak to that, but our contact, or the person we will
go to if there are any defects in the building, will be the construction manager.
If it is a design flaw, I assume we would end up back with the architect, but any
warranty problems, it is up to the construction manager to enforce the warranties.
Mr. Kelly: I think what you are looking for is the situation of the high standard
in construction and what we will do working with the construction manager. I think
you are using the example of the heating plants and air conditioning plants - work
with them to make a determination that the warranties are in place. Also, with
respect to statute of limitations, which vary from six years on contract and
misrepresentation to two years on certain types of improvements to real estate, these
type of things I think you will see the product that the construction manager will
place together in an organized booklet with respect to the warranties and with
respect to the liabilities on any type of defect. Hopefully, the other thing is
doing with soil content,. and that is a very good issue, is that they will double
check on the soil borings and double check on the compaction rates to make sure that
won't be a problem, it won't be a "what if"; they have built buildings all over the
nation and they are aware of various types of building and soil contents on that, and
I think you are getting, with this process, probably the best of the best - all of
them were very good.
Councilmember Zappa: I agree with you, Mr. Kelly, either one of these three
companies are excellent, and we were really lucky to get them to bid this and have
them in a range that we talked about initially, but again, you know what my concerns
are - if we can't do this right, let's not do it, because we will have nothing but
trouble.- we don't need a sinking swimming pool after this is running, we don't those
kinds of things; we've got to be able to go after someone and say, for a change,
we're going to collect - not like the heating and air conditioning fiasco we had in
this building for six years. It was like a table tennis game - it went so fast back
and forth you didn't even know who to talk to to get it fixed - and this is serious,
because now we are going to spend thirteen million dollars and I want some assurance
to the citizens of this City that we get it done right. How do you say it, George -
cost is no excuse for doing a poor job. Amen.
10-26-92 4
Councilmember Rossbach: Again, Joe, I think we share your concerns, and I appreciate
your effort on our behalf in that respect. I have said in the fifty years that I
~ spent in my construction history that I have never seen an architect pay for
anything, and I tell them that every chance I get. So we can't look to him. A
> contractor comes in and gives a bid; the day he starts he's shaking in his. pants
because he is the low bidder and why is he the low bidder- what did he forget? So
'i you can't look to him. That's why I like the construction manager element. Their
only job is to protect us - their only job is to make sure we get our dollar's worth
for a dollar paid; that we get the best possible quality and all these sorts of
things and so we are represented full-time on the job. You can't really count on the
contractor or the architect to represent you - they claim they are going to do it,
but as you pointed out, they do not, and I would concur with your assessment of that
and so, for this reason, I think - and this is becoming quite popular and, as a
matter of fact, I have a son who got his master's degree in construction management
(he doesn't live in this state) but part of his thesis was checking out with as many
places as they could get throughout the country how people who used that system 1 i ked
it, and found that the architects didn't like it, the contractor's didn't like it,
but the owners loved it; which tells me that, as the owner in this case, it's a good
deal.
c. Mayor Bastian asked if anyone there was a representative of McGough
Construction in the audience.
Dick Gunderson, 9757 Ideal Avenue, Mahtomedi, representing McGough
Construction approached the microphone.
Councilmember Zappa:` Mr. Gunderson, you heard my comments. I trust we're going to
have a quality building constructed, should your firm get our approval this evening -
or any firm. You heard my concerns. If something happens in a very short period
of time down the line, how do you - how should the City be - why should the City be
protected because a construction manager concept is now invoked?
Dick Gunderson: I think that is a good question. I think what you have to do is
start with a good basic design. From that, you do value engineering, you select good
contractors and make sure they work - their performance is proper. We're here, and
we will guarantee the project for you. I have been with the firm now for thirty-five
years, we are here, we are located in this area, and we plan to be here for many more
years.
d. Councilmember Zappa moved to aoorove entering into a 5285.000 contract
i with McGough Construction for construction management services for the
'I M~lewood Community Center.

10-26-92 5
Mayor Bastian: Joe brought up the situation with the original construction of this
building, and I would say it probably even went to the - even though I wasn't
around for the construction of the Public Works Building, both came with
representations that they could do more than what they turned out. The Public Works
Building was supposed to be able to take an addition off the back side; when we
looked at it structurally it was not able to do the top side of the back side of the
building we couldn't build up. This building was designed so we could fill in
some of the upper spaces when our staff needs grew we found out that wasn't the
case.. We also found out that the heating plant wasn't quite what we needed, so I
think both of them indicated - I think it started out with some representations made
and then, the fact that we did not have a construction manager to follow the project
to conclusion. Other communities that have built any kind of building and have used
a construction manager have saved money in what they were doing, so I think not only
do we have someone working on our behalf, with a good reputation, also what I would
say is a good safety record, which is important for us, is that we will look at
having a good partnership to bring the building in on time, though we don't have a
time schedule yet, but also a good quality building, so I'm sure we will be welcoming
you aboard in a few seconds.
Councilmember Zappa: If you will accept one addition to my motion - that the tape
from this portion of the minutes be preserved for posterity. We have the gentleman's
word on the tape what they are going to do for us, it's going to assist a legal firm,
maybe in the future, I would like to see this tape preserved and preserved and
preserved.
Mayor Bastian: I am not going to second that as a part of the motion, but if you
want to make that motion afterward it would be more appropriate. The motion. is just
to approve the contract. It has been moved and seconded to award the contract for
to McGough Construction Company. Any further discussion? If not, all in favor
indicate by saying "aye".
