Time Constraints:
Delay in approval of this Owner’s Representative agreement will result in delay of the design of the Senior and Community Center. The Owner’s Representative’s primary immediate goal is leading the selection of the General Contractor/Construction Manager (GC/CM) and preparation of the GC/CM contract. The GC/CM will offer critical input into the design of the project and securing their services in the 2nd quarter of 2021 is a critical path schedule item.
ANTICIPATED RESULT IF NOT APPROVED:
Design of the Senior and Community Center would be delayed, and the goal of a 2023 opening would be jeopardized.
