On Tuesday, February 19, the City opened bids for the construction of the new Senior Center. Six bids were received and the base bids ranged from $3,677,000 to $4,401,480. We also requested three alternates for this building, they were #1 - the demolition of the existing senior center, #2 - a different flooring in the dining room area, and #3- add stone in lieu of porcelain for fireplace. Based on the bids received, staff is going to recommend accepting addendum #1 - demolition of the existing senior center.

The Senior Center is being financed by the Capital Improvement Fund (CIF). In 2018, the Council approved the use of up to $5.4 million of the CIF for the construction of a Senior Activity Facility. Staff is also recommending adding $190,500 (just above 5% of estimate) for contingency to bring the total project budget to $3,900,000.
Recommendation
By motion, accept bid and enter into contract with Ebert Construction for the construction of the Blaine Senior Activity Center in the amount of $3,709,500 and approve a project contingency amount of $190,500 for a total project budget of $3,900,000.
