61�16C1) To Redevelopment Commission From Geri Hathaway, Ignition Park Director Subject Ignition Park Infrastructure Phase 1B - BSA LifeStructures Proposal Scope of Work Drawings — Site & Phase 1A, 1B & 1C Project Cost Estimate Date September 27, 2011 On July 26th you approved the BSA proposal for development of Ignition Park's Phase 1A construction documentation to provide road access and utilities to Lot #4, enabling Data Realty to construct their 50,000 sq. ft. building in 2012. Phase 1A is only the 1St step in the development of Ignition Park. Construction documents for the entire Park are required to define the roadways; utilities including power, lighting and communications; sewer, water and the storm water management system with pedestrian green boulevards, canals and retention basin. The full build -out of the ecosystem components of the Master Plan (grey water reuse, energy center, solar & wind) will be implemented in phases as the products selected and the overall systems are deemed sufficiently tested, maintainable, cost effective and provide added value to the City and the Park tenants. Phase 1B provides for development of the entire Certified Technology Park's 84 acres minus the road designed to access buildings between those on Sample and the Circle, as well as widening of Cotter and Scott. Phase 1B includes design of the ecosystem rainwater harvesting system with boulevard rain gardens to the north and east, pedestrian green boulevards with water canals from the NE & NW to the Circle, as well as the Circle's canal and retention pool. Other utilities will be designed as standard construction with the ability to add ecosystem components in the future. The construction cost estimate for Phase 1B as described is $9,230,186 (NIC architectural fees). Architectural services for the development of the 1B Infrastructure can be broken into phases comprised of design development, construction documentation, bidding and construction administration. At this time we would like to proceed with the design development phase including 3rd party pricing. BSA's proposal for that phase only is $335,000. If the 3rd party construction estimate is acceptable Economic Development will return to the Commission requesting authorization for BSA to accomplish the remaining phases. If we expect to attract innovative and entrepreneurial businesses we must act in a similar fashion. Approving this next step in the process to develop Ignition Park, as a park differentiated from other technology parks, will move us forward in that direction. The Department of Economic Development requests your approval of this BSA LifeStructures Proposal for Phase 1B Design Development in the amount of $335,000.
