The funding anticipated for the campus transformation project, in the amount of $8,860,000, was pproved by the County Legislature in three different building budgets HC0622 Hudson Hall Interior Reconfiguration - Phase 1 HC0650 CBI Interior Design HC0665 Dutchess Hall Renovation Total $3,666,000 1,975,000 3.219.000 $8,860,000 The winning architect bid came in within that total project budget. However, the allocations to the individual projects do not align. Additionally, we have since learned that in 2023 the HC0622 Hudson Hall project was only bonded for construction. There is an older project for HC0601 Hudson Hall Upgrades in the amount of $1,400,000 which currently has $1,155,400 available to fund a portion of the Hudson Hall component. Therefore, the college would need to submit resolutions in order to be made whole for the design fees. Breakdown as follows: Additional Appropriations Required Hudson Hall CBI Dutchess Hall Total Estimated Cost! 3,574,321 2,380,880 2,752,155 8,707,356 Approved appropriations? HC06013 HC0650 HC0665 1,155,400 1,975,000 1,155,400 1,975,000 3,219,000 3,219,000 2,418,921 405,880 (466,845) 2,357,956 3 PENDELL. ROAD, POUGHKEEPSIE, NY 12601-159: 845) 431-8000 1 Design Costs 2 Amounts authorized via resolutions for design fees. 3 Atotal of $1.4 million was authorized for Hudson Hall design fess, $244,600 being used for the design of the Hudson Hall Mechanical project. However, after discussions with the County Budget and Finance departments, it was determined that the best way to move forward is to rescind the resolutions for CBI (HC0650) and Dutchess Hall (HC0665) and reduce the authorized appropriations in Hudson Hall (HC0601) and then close out this project at year end. The design of the entire project will then be submitted in one resolution. This approach is better than amending resolutions for each project as it is really one large project and Will be more transparent as the total project costs will be in one project enabling flexibility in the use of the funds while still being able to track the expenses to the individual building components. This approach will also reduce the time and cost of project administration. Therefore, the College is requesting the County Legislature rescind the following resolutions and authorize a resolution for the total design services in the amount of $8,707,356. Rescind resolutions: CBI Interior Restack and Reprogramming Design BOT 2025-16 and DC Legislature 2024216 Dutchess Hall Renovation and Addition - Design BOT 2026-03 and DC Legislature 2025159 At this time, the College would also like to request additional funding for construction management services. The construction management services for the project are integral to the successful completion of the project. The construction management firm will work in tandem with the architect throughout design, verifying the design and cost estimates through each project phase and will be on-site during construction to manage the day-to-day operations of the project. Thus, the college is requesting a resolution authorizing construction funding for the construction management services for $4,731,679. Later in the year we plan to ask for Construction Funds for the project as one capital project with an estimated total cost of construction of $158.2M. Thank you.
