De Pere Common Council gets a look at South Bridge Connector
Parking garage progress
The board voted to award a contract for $297,000 to Miron Construction to provide Construction Manager at Risk services for the future downtown parking garage.
It’s to be built on the site of the former Shopko complex in the 200 block of Broadway and N. Wisconsin streets.
The Construction Manager at Risk serves to manage construction and control construction costs to ensure they don’t exceed the project’s guaranteed maximum price.
The CMaR is liable for any overages incurred.
The 220- to 240-stall parking structure is in the beginning of its design phase, with design completion slated for the end of June.
Requests for proposals for construction are expected to go out sometime in July, and construction management is slated for September.
According to Development Services Director Dan Lindstrom, the city solicited bids for CMaR services from 30 potentially interested parties and posted the requests to a number of organizational webpages but received just two responses.
The other was for $564,091.
