RE:

SCALES at High Point

BACKGROUND
The SCALES @ High Point project was advertised on November 18, 2007.   A mandatory pre-proposal conference was held on Thursday, November 29, 2007 at the GCS Facilities Department.

On December 6, 2007, we received proposals to provide Construction Manager at Risk services for renovating office space in the GCS English Road administrative office building into classroom space for SCALES at High Point.

Staff is prepared to schedule to take the proposals to the selection committee in an open meeting to rank the proposals.  The selection committee’s rankings would than be brought back to the board for adoption of the three finalists and their ranking. Negotiations can than begin and ultimately the board would be asked to approve the contract.

Staff is also preparing a presentation and information for board members on delivery methods including CM @ Risk, as requested at the December 20, 2007 board meeting.  We plan to have this information available later this month. 

In order to meet the proposed schedule for this project staff needs to continue with the process noted above. 

RECOMMENDATION:  We recommend that the board authorize staff to continue with our procurement process for SCALES @ High Point as is currently underway.
