PUBLIC COMMENT
Fred Teeboom Ok thank you. | don’t normally attend the meetings but | have been tracking the cost of the
Performance Arts Center. It is on your agenda for R-20-093 for approval for the guaranteed maximum price.
I'd like to say first of all that your contractors ICON and Harvey are doing a very good job on the estimating
especially when compared with the Webb study that preceded the current project. But being a guaranteed
maximum price | did look at the details and the details are in your attachments to your agenda. So I'll make a
few comments; | won’t take too much time. The cost, the guaranteed maximum price is now for the
construction part of the job not the total project which is $25 million. We are talking just the construction of the
Performance Arts Center is now priced to be guaranteed maximum at $15.8 million dollars.
However the Option 2, and | presume this is Option #2, the Steering Committee considered many options. On
2 January of this year, the price was estimated at $15.2 million so you have an addition here of $600,000.00. |
started looking at the spread sheet, that these details are in Exhibit 8, Exhibit H pages 12 and 13 which are
pages 61 and 62 on your attachment if any of you have a computer tracking this.
