Discussion |
The major components of the San Mateo County Youth Services Center project include the juvenile hall, juvenile court, girls camp, receiving home, group home, and probation offices. The project will be designed and constructed utilizing a construction manager. The construction manager is responsible to oversee the design, construction, budget and schedule. The construction work will be performed by prequalified contractors. The County will receive individual bids, award the bids to the lowest responsive and responsible bidders, and assign those bids to the construction manager. The construction manager will manage the contracts and construction. This process has been used successfully on prior County projects.
The first phase of construction is the sitework. It is scheduled to start in October 2003 and finish in January 2004. Building construction will start in the spring of 2004 and occupancy is scheduled for May 15, 2006. Contractor prequalification will be coordinated with the bid schedule. The first contractor prequalification is for sitework. Sitework bids are due in September 2003. Building contractor prequalification will start in January 2004. |
