Title & Recommendation: Approve Design Build Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Work Services
Agreement with AHRENS ENTERPRISES, INC. dba AHRE:NS
COMPANIES, 2ntl Ranked Firm of RFQ 19-04 Design Build of Hangar "D" at
Sebastian Municipal Airport, in the amount of $1,964,187.00.
Backaround: The Procurement Division recommends Council APPROVE the Design Build
Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) Work Services Agreement, in the amount of $1,964,187,00, with Ahrens
Enterprises, Inc. (Ahrens Companies), 2ntl ranked firm of RFQ 19-04 for the Design -Build of Hangar "D" at
Sebastian Municipal Airport. Design Build is a method used to allow a single vendor to provide planning,
design and construction services under one contract. This ensures a unified flow of work from initial concept
through completion.
On Feb. 27, 2020 the City of Sebastian entered into an agreement with Johnson-Laux Construction, LLC for
the Design -Build of Hangar "D" at Sebastian Municipal Airport. After a yearlong process of design, value
engineering and repeated cost analysis, Johnson-Laux was unable to come up with a design that met the
Airport's needs within the $2,250,000 GMP budget. The Agreement with Johnson-Laux was terminated and
the City began negotiations with the 2nd ranked firm, Ahrens Companies.
The City met with Richard Ahrens, who constructed Hangars "A", "B", and "C" at Sebastian Municipal Airport,
to discuss the details of the design -build of Hangar'D' while remaining within budget. Following the meeting,
Ahrens Companies submitted revised, value engineered plans to construct Hangar "D" at a cost within
budget.
The GMP proposal provides the construction of a three (3) bay aircraft storage hangar, plus two (2) office
sections. The offices feature open floorplans to allow future tenants to complete the office interior build -out to
better suit their business needs. Hangar "D" is expected to generate an estimated $85,000 in annual rental
revenue to the Airport and provide office and hangar space for two (2) businesses, which will lead to new and
high tech jobs in Sebastian.

hazardous substances, as defined below, which the Design Builder could reasonably encounter in its
performance of the Work. In the event the City so discovers hazardous substances, the City shall render
harmless such hazards before the Design Builder commences the Work.
In the event the Design Builder encounters any materials reasonably believed to be hazardous substances which
have not been rendered harmless, the Design Builder shall immediately stop Work in the area affected and
report the condition to the City, in writing. For purposes of this Agreement, "hazardous substances" shall include
asbestos, lead, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) and any or all of those substances defined as "hazardous

for significant and substantial cost or delay. Such changes in the Work may be directed through issuance of an
Emergency Field Change Order signed by the Design Builder and approved by the City.

Work, or due to instructions claimed to increase the scope of the Work, shall be presented to the City as part of a
claim for extra cost, if any.
Extension of the time for completion of the Work will be granted for delays due to weather conditions only when the

caused by events, acts or omissions not within the control of the City or any person acting on the City's behalf, the
Design Builder shall be entitled to an extension of time only and shall not be entitled to recovery of additional cost due
to or resulting from such delays. This Article does not, however, preclude the recovery of damages for delay by

conclusive, and binding.
Adjustments of compensation and contract time because of any major changes in the work that might become
necessary or be deemed as the work progresses shall be reviewed by the City's assigned Project Manager and will
require that a Change Order be processed in accordance with the City's legal and administrative procedures. If the
Design Builder does not concur in the judgment of the Project Manager, it shall present written objections to the City
Manager, who shall make a decision, and the Design Builder shall abide by the City Manager's decision. The
decision shall be final and conclusive.
ARTICLE 22: COMPLETION, FINAL INSPECTION, ACCEPTANCE AND SETTLEMENT
A. NOTICE OF COMPLETION
When the Work, or a discrete physical portion of the Work (as hereafter described) which the City has agreed to
accept separately, is substantially complete and ready for final inspection, the Design Builder shall file a written
Notice with the City that the Work, or such discrete physical portion, In the opinion of the Design Builder, is
substantially complete under the terms of the Agreement. The Design Builder shall prepare and submit with
such Notice a comprehensive list of items to be completed or corrected prior to final payment, which shall be
subject to review and additions as the City shall determine after inspection. If the City believes that any of the
items on the list of items submitted, or any other item of work to be corrected or completed, or the cumulative
number of items of work to be corrected or completed, will prevent a determination that the Work is substantially
complete, those items shall be completed by the Design Builder and the Notice shall then be resubmitted.
B. FINAL INSPECTION
Within ten (10) days of the submission of the Notice that the Work is substantially complete, the City and the
Design Builder shall make a "final inspection" of the Project to determine whether the Work is substantially
complete and has been completed in accordance with the Agreement Documents. The Design Builder shall
provide the City an updated punch list in sufficient detail to fully outline the following:
1. Work to be completed, if any; and
2.. Work not in compliance with the Drawings or Specifications, if any.
A final punch list may be made by the City in sufficient detail to fully outline to the Design Builder, unsatisfactory
Work for any reason, if any.

SUPPLEMENTAL GENERAL CONDITIONS
Page 23 of 28
C. NOTICE OF SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
Notice of Substantial Completion shall establish the date of substantial completion of the Project. The Design
Builder acknowledges and agrees that because the departments, agencies and institutions of the City are
generally involved with the business of the public at large, greater care must be taken in establishing the date of
substantial completion than might otherwise be the case to ensure that a project or building or discrete physical
portion of the Work is fully usable and safe for public use, and that such care necessarily raises the standard by
which the concept of substantial completion is applied for a public building.
The Notice of Substantial Completion shall not be issued until the following have been fully established:
1. All required building code inspections have been called for and the appropriate code officials have affixed
their signatures to the Building Inspection Record indicating successful completion of all required code
inspections; and
2. All required corrections noted on the Building Inspection Record shall have been completed unless the
Design Builder and the City, in their complete and absolute discretion, all concur that the condition
requiring the remaining correction is not in any way life threatening, does not otherwise endanger persons
or property, and does not result in any undue inconvenience or hardship to the City or the public; and
3. The building, structure or Project can be fully and comfortably used by the City and the public without
undue interference by the Design Builder's employees and workers during the completion of the final
punch list taking into consideration the nature of the public uses intended and taking into consideration
any stage or level of completion of HVAC system commissioning or other system testing required by the
Specifications to be completed prior to issuance of the Notice of Substantial Completion; and
4. The Project has been fully cleaned as required by these Supplemental General Conditions, and as
required by any stricter requirements of the Specifications, and the overall state of completion is
appropriate for presentation to the public.
Substantial completion of the entire Project shall not be conclusively established by a decision by the City to take
possession and use of a portion, or the entire Project, where portions of the Project cannot meet all the criteria
noted above. Failure to furnish the required completion schedule shall constitute a substantial reason for
withholding the issuance of any Notice of Substantial Completion.
The Design Builder shall have the right to request a final inspection of any discrete physical portion of the Project
when in the opinion of the City, a final punch list can be reasonably prepared, without confusion as to which
portions of the Project are referred to in any subsequent Notice of Partial Final Settlement which might be issued
after such portion is finally accepted.
D. NOTICE OF ACCEPTANCE
The Notice of Acceptance shall establish the completion date of the Project. It shall not be authorized until the
Design Builder has performed all of the Work to allow completion and approval.
ARTICLE 23: GENERAL WARRANTY AND CORRECTION OF WORK AFTER ACCEPTANCE
The Design Builder shall furnish the City with Design Builder's and manufacturer's warranty for all work. General
Contractors' warranty period shall be one (1) year from the date of submittal of Final Completion and acceptance by
the City. Design Builder warrants that the materials used and the equipment furnished shall be new and of good
quality. The Design Builder further warrants that the Work, in all respects, is free from material defects not permitted
by the Specifications and shall be in accordance with the requirements of the Agreement Documents. Neither the
final certificate for payment nor any provision in the Agreement Documents shall relieve the Design Builder of
responsibility for defects or faulty materials or workmanship.
