Recommendation

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Asian American Quality of Life Resource Advisory Commission Recommendation Number: (20200410-04a): Support for the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Project Delivery Method for the Asian American Resource Center (AARC) Master Plan Phase 2 Project. Description of Recommendation to Council • The AARC Oversight Work Group is tasked with overseeing the AARC facility, including the project. The Work Group meets monthly with AARC Cultural Arts & Education Manager Sona Shah, who is often joined by the Parks & Recreation Department (PARD) Division Manager Laura Esparza. The Work Group receives regular updates on the progress of the project from Project Manager Riley Triggs and other Public Works staff. • Work Group discussions with the project manager and staff have centered around project scope, finding, and timeline. The timeline is nearing a milestone when the project delivery method must be selected before the project can move on to the next phase. The project manager provided the Work Group with information on the CMAR delivery method, which, among other benefits, can shorten the time to complete construction when compared to the traditional project delivery method. The Work Group agrees with Public Works staff’s recommendation to proceed with the CMAR delivery method and recommended it to the full Commission. • The Asian American Quality of Life Advisory Commission hereby supports the proposed CMAR delivery method for the AARC Master Plan Phase 2 project.
