7. DEFERRED ITEMS
7.A. AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO A. D. WHITAKER
CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
ADDITION AND RENOVATIONS TO THE HEALTH AND SOCIAL
SERVICES BUILDING_AND DIRECT THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF ACHIEVING LEED
CERTIFICATION ON THIS BUILDING AND TO SUBMIT A
RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Ms. Snead stated this date and time has been set aside to
review additional information on the construction contract
for the Smith-Wagner Building.
Mr. Gecker stated he is not prepared to award the contract to
A. D. Whitaker. He further stated it is a project that has
been on the CIP for a long time and funding is in place, but
expressed concerns with building a non-LEED Silver certified
building in violation of county policy. He stated the Board
is expected to take a leadership role in sustainable design
and the proposed building does not do that. He further
stated the current building does not meet the requirements
for the number of personnel there and something needs to be
done soon. He stated in reviewing the material provided to
J
J
J
09-414

u
the Board it appears there will be a lot of empty space in
the proposed building, which will not be user friendly for
other departments in the complex that may need to use it in
the future. He further stated the proposed building should
have been planned better to allow for the moving of other
departments in and not specifically designed for the Health
and Social Services Departments alone. He stated the rate of
expansion in the Health and Social Services Departments has
slowed and the proposed capacity is not needed for those two
departments. He further stated he would like to see the
building be redesigned to get a building that is LEED Silver
certified and that would accommodate not only the Health and
Social Service needs but the needs of other groups of
employees that are currently occupying lease space in the
county.
Mr. Warren stated he was prepared to support the contract
prior to the meeting, but when a Board member raises concerns
which have not been resolved on a $10 million project; it
causes him to question whether the project is in the best
interest of the citizens of Chesterfield County. He further
stated the project needs to be completed as quickly as
possible due to the bids being received by the county are
lower than normal.
Ms. Durfee expressed concerns relative to waiting longer to
get the building built for the Health and Social Services
Departments.
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. Stegmaier stated
the building as it is designed includes most of the simple
environmental and energy efficiency provisions that would add
up to LEED points, but to achieve LEED certification for the
building the HVAC system would need to be redesigned and the
contractor is not willing take the risk the additional time
would put on him. He further stated it is possible to
redesign the building to make it LEED certified and to
incorporate more flex space and fewer hard offices. He
stated the proposed building was designed for the Health and
Social Services Departments and not designed with flex space.
He further stated the goals of LEED certification and taking
advantage of the low bid cannot be met at this time and to
reach both of those goes the county needs to go back through
the process of redesign and rebidding the project.
Ms . Durfee stated the county is possibly running the risk of
the cost going up for the proposed building if it is
redesigned and rebid.
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. Stegmaier stated
the county currently has some credits towards LEED
certification on this project and could possibly get
additional credits through a change order process, but with
this contract before the Board today, could not get LEED.
certification. He further stated LEED certification would
not be possible on this building due to the design of the
HVAC systems and the contractor is not willing to wait for
the county to redesign it to the extent needed and hold his
price on the bid.
Ms . Durfee stated this project was in place before the Board
came into office and the Board is trying to make the best
decision and it will be a difficult one. She further stated
09-415
07/22/09
she has heard concerns from employees about why the Board is
not making a decision on this much .needed project.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Mr. Stegmaier stated
staff is confident the redesign of the building to meet the
LEED standards can be achieved in 4 to 6 weeks, although if
the Board directs staff to address the size of the building
the redesign time would be substantially longer.
Ms. Jaeckle stated she would like to see the footprint of the
building redesigned to make it more flexible for other
departments along with redesigning the building to meet the
LEED standards.
Mr. Holland stated the space is needed now for the Health and
Social Services Departments.
Mr. Bob Rivers stated redesigning the building and returning
to the Board with a change order would take six to eight
weeks if that was the route chosen, which would still be
approximately 16 weeks from where we are today to get the
project started, and the contractor is not willing to wait
that long. He further stated staff in the Smith-Wagner
Building is working in crowded conditions and those issues
were to be addressed with this proposed facility. He stated
if the Board directs staff to redesign the building it will
be done from a different perspective, particularly with the
reference to more flexible space.
In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Rivers stated
several organizations have been identified that could
possibly utilize the flex space. He further stated as staff
evaluates those organizations, the compatibility of use,
egress and ingress to the facility and security issues will
be reviewed. He stated staff has an excellent track record
of modifying space slightly to make it work for whatever
organization may need it.
Mr. Holland stated he is prepared to support the contract.
In response to Ms. Jaeckle's question, Mr. Rivers stated if
the county would have moved forward with the building last
year, the cost would have been approximately $15 million.
Ms. Jaeckle stated she would rather wait and get the building
correct with the LEED certification and the flex space. She
further stated the space is needed for the Health and Social
Services Departments, but the building needs to be designed
properly.
Ms. Durfee expressed concerns regarding the amount of time
since the project has been on the CIP and the building is
still not built. She further expressed concerns for the
users of social services not understanding the information
about the flexibility of space, but needing the convenience
of being able to get in and out.
Mr. Rivers explained the overall capital improvement process.
He stated if the Board directs staff to redesign the project,
it will take approximately six to eight months to redesign
and then the new bid process will begin.

In response to Mr. Holland's question, Mr. Rivers stated it
would take approximately six to eight months to have a
redesign completed.
^+It
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. Rivers stated the
cost could go up and the timeframe for the building being on
the ground would change.
Ms. Durfee stated are there are costs associated with staff's
time also.
In response to Mr. Gecker's question, Mr. Rivers stated the
initial decisions on the design of the building were made
with information known at the time. He further stated if the
Board directs staff to redesign the building, staff will be
looking at it differently than before.
Mr. Gecker stated the needs in the Smith-Wagner Building are
not going to be near what was forecasted in the future tc
justify a building of this size. He further stated there is
no question space is needed in the Health and Social Services
Building but the size of the proposed building does not seem
justifiable with taxpayers' dollars.
In response to Mr. Holland's questions, Ms. Snead stated
growth is anticipated, for example, each team in Social
Services has an additional office. She further stated some
of the number of seats in the building are not office spaces;
they may be cubicle or work spaces. She further stated staff
anticipates fully utilizing the space in the building by
moving staff out of leased space and into the building. She
stated fully utilizing the proposed building could result in
a savings of approximately $213,000 a year by the county.
Mr. Warren stated a majority of the Board still has concerns
with the project .
In response to Ms. Durfee's question, Mr. Stegmaier stated
LEED certification can be achieved in the design of the
building, and if that is the direction the Board wants to go
with minor modifications within the building to create more
flexible space, but not change the size of the building, it
can be done in four to six weeks. He further stated at that
point, the project would have to be rebid. He stated if the
Board moves forward and redesigns the building to be LEED
certified and make the changes suggested to the footprint,
the timeframe would be six to eight months.
Ms. Durfee stated employees have been waiting for this
building for a long time and the project came before the
Board took office. She further' stated all of the issues
stated cannot be met with the current building design. She
expressed concerns with the lack of space to meet the needs
of the users of the Health and Social Services Departments.
Mr. Gecker stated when the Board began reviewing the project
the first inquiry was relative to the LEED Silver
certification and the answer was no. He further stated since
the LEED Silver certification cannot be met without rebidding
the project, why. not have it redesigned to meet the needs of
the county. He further stated if the county is committed to
building a Health and Social Services building just for those
departments to utilize, the size of the building needs to
come down. He stated he is prepared to build an addition
onto the building, provided the space can be configured to
bring those employees in leased space into the building, but
09-417
07/22/09
unfortunately that cannot be done. He further stated he is
not prepared to vote for the county to build a non-LEED
Silver certified building, well-designed or not. He stated
the Board continues to push other portions of the county such
as the school division to build LEED certified buildings and
it is inappropriate for the Board to approve their first
project non-LEED Silver certified.
Ms. Jaeckle stated there is so much information from the
original design that can be used in the redesign of the
building that the county will not have to start from scratch
again. She further stated the building needs to be built so
if an outside department needed to use it, the Health or
Social Services Departments would not be interrupted.
Mr. Micas stated the motion would be to reject all bids for
the renovation and addition to the Health and Social Services
building including the low bid of A. D. Whitaker.
On motion of Mr. Gecker, seconded by Mr. Warren, the Board
rejected all bids for the renovation and addition to the
Health and Social Services building including the low bid of
A. D. Whitaker.
Ayes: Warren, Gecker, and Jaeckle.
Nays: Holland and Durfee.
Mr. Warren requested the input given at the Board meeting
from all of the Board members be incorporated into the
process.
Ms. Jaeckle stated it will probably cost the county more to
build this building, but not as much if the Board had moved
forward last year.

(HUD) FOR THE HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION AND RAPID RE-

Ms. Snead stated this date and time had been set aside for

request to defer this item to allow more discussion.
