For the last 3 weeks the Architects, CSI staff and county staff have been reviewing the bids and attempt to value engineer the project to remove as much cost as possible. A value engineering reduction of $121,656.00 has been reached, making the final base bid at $1,875,344,000. The following three options were presented to the Board for consideration: Option 1 — award the project as bid. $723,920 would be moved from the capital reserve funds the County set aside in FY 2016-17 to pay for the project. Thus the County would award a contract to CSI for $1,997,000. Option 2 — remove the allowances in CSI's bid for contingency and site work of $31,800 and $43,858 to the project ordinance contingency and award a contract of $1,921,342 to CSI. The County would then be in control of all contingency funds and any change orders would have to come before the Board of Commissioners. Option 3 — accept CSI's and H & H's value engineering proposal which would reduce the cost by $45,998. We would continue to hold the allowances in contingency and award a contract to CSI in the amount of 2
