Background
On March 21, 2024, the Board of Commissioners awarded a Design-Build contract to Blum Construction (Blum) for Design Build services for the upfit of the Lees Chapel Treatment Center. This contract was to provide design and pre-construction services to develop a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) amendment to the contract for the completion of the construction work described in the contract scope, in compliance with Department of Health Service Regulations (DHSR) requirements.
Blum has completed the design and bid processes necessary to assemble the GMP. The general scope of the GMP is to retrofit the facility to accommodate the facility requirements of the service provider to provide County residents needed treatment for substance use disorder and upfit the facility to provide the best cost-of-ownership option for the County. This upfit includes a new standby generator, new roof, new windows, updated lighting, new flooring, new HVAC equipment, new interior paint and interior space reconstruction to accommodate the needs of the treatment center. The design team has submitted the construction drawings for DHSR approval. The scope of any comments from DHSR is anticipated to be within the contingency amount shown below, based on the scope of the comments received during the design development phase.
