Kingman’s $7M Beale Street Infrastructure Project will go with a Construction Manager at Risk delivery method and not use American Rescue Plan Act funds to free up flexibility in executing the overall project.
The change was approved in an Oct. 4 Kingman City Council meeting. Banicki Construction has been chosen as the CMAR.
City officials said the change and adoption of a CMAR will allow more leeway in scheduling, phasing, cost reduction and other options to maximize the project’s processes and overall value.
Work during the phased project will include narrowing Beale, adding sidewalks from First Street to Sixth Street, improving drainage and creating “an entertainment zone” for enhanced interaction with the area.
The change increases the project design costs to slightly more than $520K, an increase of $90.5K.
Banicki and Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions will collaborate on the overall design, costs and execution. (Source)
