MINUTES OF THE ADJOURNED MEETING OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, CALIFORNIA
FEBRUARY 21, 1989
The meeting was called to order in the Main Conference Room at 2:00 p.m. by Mayor Waters.
ROLL CALL
Council members present Della, Inzunza, Pruitt, Van Deventer, Waters. Absent None.
Administrative officials present Bolint, Caloza, Deese, Eiser, Kimble, McCabe, Myers,
Peoples, Peterson, Post, Reid, Ruiz, Williams.
The Mayor said the meeting was called to discuss the architects proposal, and that he would
turn the meeting over to Vice Mayor Pruitt and would abstain from voting.
Vice Mayor Pruitt turned the meeting over to City Manager McCabe.
City Manager McCabe said that today was the architects report to the Council and Staff and
that Staff didn't have any input at this time. He then turned the meeting over to Mr. Richard
Blackman of Wheeler-Wimer-Blackman Architects.
Mr. Blackman said that the meeting marks a milestone in the development of the documents
per the schedule submitted many weeks ago. They were to have before Council and Staff
what constitutes the second phase in the development of the architectural plans and
specifications which is referred to as design development One set was provided with
another 17 sets on their way. Each Council member will be provided with their own set as will
Engineering, Department Directors, the City Manager and CDC. He noted that the further
along, the heavier the plans become because the detail becomes much more refined.
Mr. Blackman then shared information about the cost estimating which can be significantly
different than bidding. He cited an example of a project that they had just finished and had
bid which came in at about 2-3% Tess than they had estimated.
He handed out a Design/Development Stage Estimate dated 20 February 1989 and
attached as Exhibit Al and A2 and an Adjusted Design Development Cost Estimate,
attached as Exhibit B.
Per Blackman, on October 13,1988 the Schematic Design Estimate was $8.7 million dollars
($8,695,350. to be exact). There were some adjustments on a letter Blackman sent to
Peterson and McCabe dated November 21, 1988 which altered the number, based on some
refinements to delete and add some things, to $8,798,662. So there was a net project
increase from October to November of $103,312.
Blackman then presented poster boards which reflected the parity between the Schematic
Design Estimate of October (1988) and the present one of February (1989). There had
been some additions to the project and the estimates reflected some changes that did not
occur back in the October estimate. The poster boards displayed the following:

Unless indicated otherwise, Richard Blackman of Wheeler-Wimer-Blackman & Associates is
speaking.
The On -Site work includes all of the Plaza work, landscape, irrigation, flatwork and those
amenities around the Plaza that were considered On -Site and explained at the last
workshop meeting by Van Dyke.
The project total of $8,815,086. is slightly different than the $8,798,662. by about $17,000.
that basically is attributed to some inflation and error in number crunching.
The project total is $10,019,459. which is $1,204,373. in excess of the adjusted total on the
Schematic Design. This number is important to understand. Although a comparison is
shown between the two design estimates, they are not being compared as the same project
because the project has increased significantly.

Blackman then presented a Variance Analysis poster board which displayed the following:
Adm. Bldg.
Concrete Piles $70,000.
Structural Steel 240,000.
Misc. Metals 101,800.
Marble Flooring 136,800.

$189,344.
Off -Site $517,699.
Not part of Schematic Designs
Bid as add -alternates
$1,550,000.
The Administration Building (high-rise) exceeds the Schematic Design by $774,381. To get
a project that has parity with the Schematic Design Estimate is what they are trying to do.
They found that they had more concrete piles It was determined through the soils tests that
there is bad soil and the piles need to be driven deeper, about 15 feet They estimated 45
feet and need to go down to 60 feet. Structural Steel is affected by three things. One is the
price of steel which is rising at an escalation from October of $15.50 a ton to a present
amount of $16.50 a ton. The tonnage has been increased because as mentioned way back
when, a curvilinear building is more expensive than a rectangular building. There are curved
pieces of steel that are added to the project. The third element is the fact that the Structural
Engineer has some pretty heavy members which may still be cut down as the new building is
a non -essential building. Miscellaneous Metals are all of the hand rails and the stairwells
which were not figured in the original estimate. There is some on the outside of the building,
but they wanted to bring the large pipe rail in and around the Atrium so this has been added.
It is about $71,000. Another thing that was not in the Schematic Design Estimate was Marble
Flooring. They have added $136,800. of enhanced flooring in high public use spaces.
Marble sounds like alot, but the price is much more competitive than carpeting. They will be
getting this for about $8. a square foot vs. carpeting at about $16. to $18. a square foot.
Window Treatment is the mini blinds. It is debatable as to whether this amount should be put
into Furniture in which case it would not be a part of this estimate. Escalation is a big
number. They did not escalate the October estimate and feel they should have some
allowance for construction increases that they are beginning to see, so this number is in the
design development.
1f these numbers were taken and totaled, you would see a $37,000. to $38,000. difference
in just things that were not in the Schematic Design Estimate that are now included.
On the site, the Ice Storage was added and the Diesel Fuel Storage which is located out in
the road and needs to be removed. This could go to the remodel project, but, it was decided
that it would go with this project when the driveway improvements are being done. Those
two numbers total $189,344. The increase in on -site work is $257,443. If you deduct this
number from that total, there is only a $68,000. increase in on -site work.
Off -Site work is a known. It is all of that work that is going to be bid as an add-altemate at
$517,699. Tom of Van Dyke will elaborate on these figures.
When all of these numbers are added you end up with $1,550,000. If you take this against
the $10,019,458. it comes very close to the $8.8 million that they are talking about.
Blackman then reviewed (attachment B) the Adjusted Design Development Cost Estimate.
The $10,019,458 was used as the base figure with the additions based on the City Council's
decisions in the various workshops and adding to that a true inflation factor of about 3%. He
noted that last year inflation in construction was running about 3.5% so even 3% might be a
little rich but they would like to keep some contingency in the project estimating as long as
they can. The sheet shows the Off -Site improvements less inflation. If you want to see
where that number is you go to the basic breakdown (attachments A1-A2), the first column
reflects the sub total after the contractors profit and overhead. All of the numbers, the Ice
Storage, the Diesel Fuel and the Window Treatment are numbers that have been adjusted to
J
Book 71/Page 43
2/21/89
include a 5% Design Contingency, a 12% Contractor Profit and Overhead and Escalation
separated as one lump sum. You will see a variance in Ice Storage, Diesel Fuel and Window
Treatment from what is being shown because they have the inflators on them.
When you take the items that have been added to the project, you come up with
$1,109,727. If you deduct that from the adjusted design development cost of
$10,019,458., it gives you parity with the schematic design with a variance of $94,645. This
shows that although there have been changes in the project which has resulted in
increases the basic project has remained pretty stable. The numbers have shifted in
different columns which is understandable because some have been refined and others are
increased because they have been added to. The net effect is the project today, is only
about $94,645. over the Schematic Design.
Van Deventer stated that realistically, the cost is about $10 million not including the
upgrading of the current facility and the furnishing upgrading. Blackman said this was
correct Van Deventer then added that we would be closer to $11 to $12 million when all
figures are included. Blackman said it could be close to that and added that there was
$291,000. included in the figures that it is conceivable that it isn't there. It is a factor that
estimators like to put on their estimates. There is also a 5% Design Contingency that works
out to $413,000. If these two numbers are taken and combined, it's $700,000. that
realistically may not be there.
Dana noted that fumiture and fixtures were not induded. Blackman said this was correct.
The only questionable item was the window treatment or the mini -blinds, whether or not this
would be considered building or furnishing. They added it into building.
Della then questioned if when Blackman said 4 months, which would be in June, if that meant
that in 4 months he was tailing about going out for bid. Blackman said that was the realistic
time. Dalla then inquired as to what the time would be for bid. Blackman said this would be
up to the City. The City could stipulate a one month bid period or a six week bid period. Della
then reiterated that 18 months after the bid period closes... Blackman interjected that once
the contract was awarded it would be about an 18 month construction period for them.
Blackman then added that in the original schedule that had been provided, they have only
slipped a couple of weeks. Once last week and one later in 1988, so they are really only
about two weeks off of the projected schedule - really close to target.
Della then inquired if aside from the furnishings and fixtures and what was being provided, if
there were any other costs that might loom as part of the project. Blackman said he didn't
think so. The estimate was pretty exact. Some of the prices were conservative. He had
worked over the weekend with the Cost Estimator and found some of the prices were still
conservative, such as on the steel and the pre -cast
Inzunza inquired as to what was meant by conservative. Blackman said generous, over
estimating. He said they were seeing pre -cast panels at $16. a square foot and the Estimator
has $20. in the estimate.
Van Deventer asked if this was taking into consideration the industry climb in concrete.
Blackman responded, yes.
Inzunza inquired as to whether a motion was needed at this point. He commented that he
was not ready for any kind of a motion at this time and would like to slip again another week.
Blackman said they were not asking to move forward at this time. The meeting part of the
schedule, a holding pattern. They are to hold for a couple of weeks while the Building
Department does all of their plan checking and reviews the documents. They are presenting
the Design/Development documents and Cost Estimates as required by contract.
Van Deventer stated that basically ,Blackman couldn't do anything else until everybody else
makes up their minds and Staff determines if there are any major flaws in their view.
Blackman said this was correct
Pruitt asked if the plans before them were the exact ones which would be presented to Staff
for their review. Blackman said this was correct Pruitt then stated that once the plans leave
Engineering, the final product would be available for another architects review to assure
there were no omissions or surprises at that point Blackman said he believed that the City
had the option at that phase to have an independent architect review the documents. Pruitt
then added that for example, Staff had the plans for a month. The plans then are returned to
Blackman for corrections should they find some, and once Blackman finishes with Staffs
recommendations and alterations, at that point the plans become the City Bible. Blackman
said the plans would be refined, additional information put on them, but there would not be
any change in the scope. Pruitt then said it had been mentioned that some of the additional
costs that would be incurring would be in reference to the renovation of the current building,
but the majority of the site improvement to the current building will have been accomplished
Book 71/Page 44
2/21 /8 9
in Blackmans figures that includes the backside of enclosing the Police Departments area,
includes the street on 12th Street, includes the frontage on National City Boulevard and all
of those off -site improvements in reference to the renovation of this building are included in
Blackmans costs for the Civic Center. Therefore basically, the bottom line in renovating the
current building, is primarily interior functions. Blackman said this was correct.
Blackman said they elected on Staffs recommendation to relocate the Diesel Fuel tanks
which are a part of the current building and not necessarily a part of the new building. To do
so makes alot of economic sense.
Pruitt than added in reference to the landscaping, that it was also another added entity that is
completed for both buildings in Blackmans figures. Blackman said this was correct.
Myers of Engineering inquired as to whether they would be reviewing a 30/40/50/60%
complete plans. Blackman said probably close to 60% complete.
Blackman added that Staff had made some very good suggestions, alot of which had been
incorporated into the documents. One that was significant and did effect the costs a little,
was the split of the heating and air conditioning into two separate chillers. This allows for any
point in time, if one chiller went out, the whole building would not be without cooling
capability. They had allowed for cost purposes, one large unit that would service the whole
building. Through Staffs recommendation, they have included two smaller ones.
Van Deventer asked McCabe if the City had adequate staff to take and review the plans.
McCabe said they would be using ESGIL Corporation at some point, otherwise he believed
they did.
Van Dyke of Van Dyke & Associates then commented that Blackman and he had not had a
chance to meet and discuss the poster boards that Blackman had presented. He noted that
in the total figures that Blackman had presented, the $388,000. that had been approved
previously as additional work outside of the basic project, was in part to be treated as an add -
alternate to the bid. The numbers include all of that work There is still the option the City
has to pull those items back out. The site development bids that came in were somewhat
over and Blackman has qualified those to give a real number which he thought to be around
$60 to $66/$68,000. They feel also that the contractor is quite conservative on his
numbers. They went through the breakdown of unit costs and feel he has some figures that
are high at this point They have evaluated his bid and have come up with about $85,000. in
cost reductions that relate to the Plaza Development and Streetscape Development(pavers
in the street). This was based on making some minor modifications or adjustments in
materials; reducing the color of concrete in certain areas, another method of constructing a
planter that is hung on the back of the Council Chambers etc. The point is to look realistically
at how to get the project in budget. He is conformable that they are on tract with what was
previously presented in terms of the content of the project as it relates to landscape,
artscape, street work and all of the other areas surrounding the Police facility and new Civic
Center.
Ernie Reid of the Building Department told Mr. Blackman that he had received some
information from a contractor on moveable partitions who said Blackman was in favor of the
type provided. He inquired as to if the partitions were included in the costs provided.
Blackman said they were not and would be included under fumiture. The partitions shown
on the drawings were fixed not moveable.
Van Deventer requested McCabe have Finance Director Caloza come back with the figures
being shown now plus the previously presented figures relating to the furnishings and the
Police Department McCabe said they would do a re -adjustment and submit it to Council.
Mayor Waters also asked McCabe to provide information on just what the Civic Center would
cost and what the modernization on the current building would cost. He said he felt they
were getting credit for an expensive Civic Center and if the figures were broken down with
the remodeling and the other costs, he didn't think it would be found that the Civic Center
was much above as far a costs go. When combined with all the landscaping the costs
outside and around, you see the costs change. He feels it is important for the general public
to know all that That it's not the Civic Center that is costing that much.
Pruitt agreed with the Mayor.
Blackman said if the Civic Center was looked at as a separate entity, the sub -total would be
$5.2 million. Add to that the design contingency, the contractors profit and overhead and
then escalation. If the escalation was not considered, it is basically a $6 million building. Part
of the number includes the $386,000. and the improvement to the Police Station which was
not a part of the original, the enhancement to the park where it is brought up to the back of
the Council Chambers and the re -work of "A" Street, is all included in the number.
McCabe said that at this point, Staff had nothing to add but would bring back to Council a
recast of the original estimate including everything and breaking out the different parts as
they relate to building, the off -site improvements and show those separately.
Book 71/Page 45
2/21 /89
Van Deventer noted that even though they will be spending $11 or $12 million, the unit that
is actually being changed is only $8 million. This is the point everyone is trying to make to the
general public.
Pruitt asked Blackman at what point the additional sets of plans would be available. Blackman
said they were to be delivered to Petersons office at 2:00 p.m. today.
Pruitt asked Staff as to what time frame they would have in reviewing the plans and working
with Blackman. Reid said they would send it to ESCAL for a final code check. He anticipated
his department would require two to three weeks for their own review with the other
department heads.
Myers added that they would be looking at major items only as a 80% step as Blackman had
indicated. Blackman said this was correct.
ADJOURNMENT
Vice Mayor Pruitt than declared the meeting be adjourned to the next regular meeting -
February 21. 1989 - 4:00 P.m. in the Council Chambers.
The meeting closed at 2:40 p.m.
