Summary & Background: This request is to extend the contract for an additional six (6) months in order to provide continued, without disruption, Program Management Services for the completion of Phase II Library construction projects and miscellaneous modifications.

 

Scope of Work: The Fulton County Library System requests approval to extend the current time frame for the awarded Program Management Team (PMT), Turner & Townsend Heery, LLC (formerly CBRE Heery/Russell, a joint venture), and extend services related to Program Management of the Phase II library renovation and construction projects for a period of six (6) months beginning January 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2024.

 

Program Management Services begin during the initial planning phase of each project and continues through construction close-out and warranty periods for newly renovated facilities.  As currently contracted, the PMT has oversight responsibilities for each renovated or expanded library project.  They monitor, direct, check, review and comment on design and construction performed by others.  In collaboration with the Owner’s Representative Team, which consists of staff from the Library, the Department of Real Estate and Asset Management (DREAM), Risk Management, Purchasing & Contract Compliance, Department of Information Technology (DoIT) and County Auditors, the PMT will maintain primary responsibility for coordination, cost estimating, planning management and implementation of controls to ensure projects remain on the approved critical path schedule and for the successful construction and delivery of each library project.

 

Under the direction of County staff, the PMT will remain responsible for:

 

a.                     Renovation of Peachtree and MLK, Jr. Libraries and expansion of East Point Library.

b.                     Project scheduling.

c.                     Ongoing Master and Project Budget management.

d.                     Preparation of criteria and development of Requests for Proposal for design/build teams, estimators and schedulers, as may be required.

e.                     Management of renovation and/or expansion projects.

f.                     Transitioning of projects to Fulton County for re-opening and occupancy.

g.                     Project controls.

h.                     Project close-out.

i.                     Cost estimating.

j.                     Record keeping.

 

The PMT will not be eligible to compete for any design services on any of the library projects, nor be allowed to participate on any construction, construction management or design/build team under this Capital Improvement Program.

 

Extending the PMT contract is advantageous for Fulton County because it allows the County to:

 

1.                     Maintain program and project knowledge and experience gained by working with the Fulton County Library System over the past 13 years.

2.                     Ensure project consistency in design, construction, project additions and enhancements.

3.                     Maintain program momentum.  No lost time with a new procurement and start-up.

4.                     Minimize the learning of procedures and management systems.

5.                     Avoid duplication of services.

 

Community Impact: This request involves the renovation of libraries in communities across the County.

 

Department Recommendation: Recommend approval. 

 

Project Implications: The cost of the requested service will be funded using Library Bond funds; therefore, it will not impact the County, DREAM or Library operations.

 

Community Issues/Concerns: None of which the Department is aware. 

 

Department Issues/Concerns: If this contract extension is not approved, the County does not have the capacity to perform Program Management Services required to complete numerous other library construction items.
