Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on authorizing the GMP Proposal with awarded RFP T3931 Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), Chasco Constructors Ltd, LLc for the construction of the South Event Tarmac at the Williamson County Expo Center, in the amount of $1,000,878.00 with an Owner's Contingency in the amount of $50,122.00 and authorize the execution of the agreement between Williamson County and CMAR. The funding source is P566.

The Williamson County Fair and Rodeo will be held during the fall of 2021 at the Expo Center, and it is imperative that the Event Tarmac portion of the Project be completed by October 1, 2021, for the event.  The contractor, Chasco Constructors, informed the County that it must receive a Notice to Proceed with construction of the Event Tarmac by July 15, 2021, in order to complete same prior to October 1, 2021.  Due to time constraints, it is now necessary to separately phase out the scopes of the construction services and execute this Guaranteed Maximum Price Proposal as to only the Event Tarmac phase of construction services so that such phase of construction can be commenced prior to the completion of the design for the remainder scope of construction for the entire Project and, thereby, ensuring completion prior to the said date of October 1, 2021.  It will be necessary for the County and Chasco to negotiate a future amendment to this Guaranteed Maximum Price Proposal in order to include any remainder scope of construction services for the entire Project once the design for such services has been completed.  Thus, a future amendment of the Guaranteed Maximum Price Proposal will be submitted to the Commissioners Court for consideration at a later date.
