RE: Approval of AIA — Document A133-2009 Contract for Construction
Manager Services with Ifarvey Construction
The enclosed document is a contract for construction management services for anew DPW
Administrative Office Building located on land off West Hollis Street and adjacent to the Four
Hills Landfill
There is a target date to begin construction in spring of 2022 and the building is currently ina
preconstruction design stage. To date schematic design and design development phases have
been completed and the project is more than 50°%o the way through construction design
documents. The project has been costed and with any type of construction management contract
a final figure will not be realized until a Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”) is set through a
GMP Amendment per section 5.2 of the attached agreement.
[ am requesting a not to exceed figure of $12,025,000 be used to approve this contract. This
represents a construction budget of $10,525,000 and a $1,500,000 contingency budget. These
figures align with previous representations targeting a total project budget of $15,000,000.
Harvey Construction is a known and reputable construction management firm. Previously,
Harvey built both High Schools in Nashua. They have performed a lot of construction related
work on the city’s behalf over the years. However, their services were competitively procured
through a qualifications based selection process. A Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) was
issued in the summer of 2019 and nine firms’ submitted proposals. Three firms were selected for
interviews with an internal selection committee. Harvey rose to the top as a preferred choice
Harvey Construction’s management fee is set for 2.9%o, which is slightly better than their most
recent building projects for the city at 3.2% and 3.0°%s respectfully.
THANK YOU.
