SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Construction Documents and Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for Propane Refueling Station at Lois Avenue

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Board previously approved the purchase of propane fuel buses, and a fixed propane refueling capability is required. District staff selected Long & Associates Architects/Engineers, Inc. and Batson-Cook Construction to provide design and construction management services for a project to add propane refueling to the existing diesel fuel station at Transportation's Lois Avenue facility.  The project scope includes relocation of the existing diesel dispensers at the site to improve traffic flow, and adds paving, site lighting and a canopy over both diesel and propane dispensers to improve operations and driver working conditions.

Approval of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) will establish the cost for the project.

Project completion is scheduled for August 4, 2016.
