KITTITAS COUNTY <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />PUBLIC WORKS — BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />STUDY SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />STUDY SESSION DATE: <br />TOPIC: <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />LEAD STAFF: <br />Mark R. Cook <br />March 11, 2019 <br />Upper County Shop Construction Project <br />Position <br />Authorize Public Works to Finalize a Project <br />Position with Human Resources <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Authorize Public Works (PW) to finalize a project position supporting construction <br />management during Upper County Shop construction. <br />BRIEFING SUMMARY: <br />a Attempts to secure construction management services from KPG have failed <br />a Public Works (PW) has secured interest in a project position from a previous <br />County employee with significant building construction experience <br />a $60 per hour is anticipated for compensation (KPG is suggesting $100/hour if <br />they provide service) <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Upper County Shop (UCS) construction is nearing. We anticipate requesting advertising <br />on March 19, 2019 with a bid opening on April I Oa'. Bid award is anticipated on April <br />16a'. Construction could begin mid-May 2019. <br />DISCUSSION: <br />PW does not have qualified vertical construction inspection experience that can support <br />the UCS build schedule. For the past several months, PW has been investigating the <br />possibility of contracting service through KPG or Jacobs. Resources do not appear to be <br />readily available. <br />It appears that a retired County building official is interested in supporting our UCS <br />project. The project employee would provide inspector daily reports and coordinate <br />contractor and material testing needs with PW. The employee would set their own work <br />schedule working part time as appropriate. <br />Pagel of 2 <br />PUBLIC WORKS BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />
