Council approves $3.24M guaranteed maximum price for Street Division facility renovation funded by 2024 SPLOST

Staff presented Resolution 26‑54 to amend the contract with Dublin Construction Company and set a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for renovation of the Street Division facility on Madison Street. The project would convert the former cotton warehouse into offices, locker rooms, meeting space and include a gas‑powered generator, access control and site improvements. "The total GMP is $3,240,000, $240,532," staff said, and added the overall project with survey and architect work totaled nearly $3.4 million.

Staff said the project will be funded by the 2024 SPLOST and explained the CMAR (construction manager at risk) arrangement means the contractor guarantees delivery of the specified scope at or below the GMP; cost savings would be passed to the city, and cost overruns would be the contractor's responsibility. Council moved and approved the GMP amendment by voice vote.
