This project will consist of the renovation and expansion of the existing 11,758 SF Carver Branch Library, located at 3350 E. Commerce, SA TX 78220. The construction budget is approximately 8.4 million dollars. The Carver Branch Library was designed by Norcell D. Haywood, the first licensed African-American architect in San Antonio, and a prominent community professional. The original library was constructed in 1973, and was renovated in 1994 and again in 2006. A parking lot expansion and outdoor playscapes were added in 2012. The goal for the current building renovation is to create attractive, user-friendly spaces that respond to the needs of the library users. This improved facility will enhance existing areas of the library and introduce new resources to serve the community. The CMAR will provide preconstruction services throughout the design process of the Project, the renovation and addition to the Carver Library. The CMAR will serve as the principal general contractor for construction of the Project. The CMAR will assume the risk of delivering the Project within a Guaranteed Maximum Price. During the pre-construction period, which includes design development, construction documents preparation, procurement and permitting, the CMAR will work with the Public Works Department to provide construction cost modeling of the Project, including but not limited to, updates at major milestones of design; scheduling of all aspects of the Project, including City tasks and outside agencies; constructability reviews; cost trend log updates; and cost savings/value engineering recommendations. The CMAR will support the City in establishing a final construction budget for the Project. The CMAR and Design Consultant will then work collaboratively throughout the remaining design and preconstruction period to ensure that the Project remains within the budget and will regularly report back to the Public Works Department. The CMAR will be responsible for quality control and the Public Works Department team will be responsible for quality control oversight.
