On October 9, 2023, the team of CT Wilson Construction Company/Rankin III Grading was selected as the Construction Manager at Risk (CM@R) for Pre-construction Services. The Pre-Construction Services phase of the project was the first step in the Construction Manager at Risk process, during which the contracting team provided cost estimating, constructability reviews, schedule development and value analysis of the project design. Following the pre-qualification of subcontractors, bids were received, publicly opened and read by CT Wilson Construction on August 22, 2024. Fourteen (14) packages did not receive the statutory requirement of three (3) bids necessary to open them, thus a second bid opening was scheduled for the remaining packages. Those packages were publicly opened and read by CT Wilson Construction on September 5, 2024. Bids for the various subcontractor packages are incorporated into the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposal submitted for the project. The contractor is currently tracking MWBE participation at 19.7%. For M/WBE information, See MWBE attachment. The contractor is also pursuing additional MWBE participation if the opportunity is available.
This project will pursue LEED Silver certification and will incorporate technologies aligned with the adoption of the Renewable Energy Resolution (Durham County’s commitment to be off the grid by 2050). The current project budget includes rooftop photovoltaics, EV charging stations, and other sustainability strategies that will have budget implications now but will result in markedly reduced energy costs, carbon footprint, and maintenance for the duration of the building’s anticipated life span.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This aligns with the Strategic Plan Goal - Sustainable Infrastructure and Environment - through the improvement of an existing facility while repurposing land that is the site of a closed landfill and by providing consolidated Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET) services into one facility, providing more efficient training/service delivery.
Resource Persons: Joel T. Jones, Project Manager; Jim Faress, Senior Project Manager; Peri Manns, Deputy Director Engineering & Environmental Services; David LaBarre, DCSO Director of Planning and Development; Courtney Burkett, CT Wilson Construction; and Charles Nickelson, RND Architects.
County Manager’s Recommendation: The County Manager recommends approval of Capital Project Amendment No.25CPA022 appropriating $16,555,735 of Limited Obligation Bond (LOBs) funding to the Durham County Sheriff’s Training Facility Capital Project (4310DC091), and authorizing the County Manager to enter into a contract with the team of CT Wilson Construction Company/Rankin III Grading for the Durham County Sheriff’s Training Facility project located at 100 Electra Road, Durham NC, at the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) of $15,465,498 (Bid Package plus alternates, allowances); as well as execute any other related contracts - including change orders if necessary - for a not-to-exceed budget of $15,929,463.
