Put out for bid.
From the description, looks like they are planning for 10,000 sqft of storage/ancillary space in addition to the field and weight room:
"The Project is the construction of approximately 80,000 GSF indoor football practice facility consisting of a steel structure, a synthetic turf practice field, A/V, graphics and an approximately 12,000 GSF attached weight room and 10,000 GSF of storage/ancillary space that may or may not be built out."
The Construction Cost Limit is still $16M with a 5% contingency. The limit includes audio/visual but not IT / Security equipment or furniture. And it does not include professional fees (architects, etc.). I assume "weight room equipment" is part of the furniture component.
Here is the current timeline. Note, November 17 (Louisville) is the last home game unless we host the conference title game on December 3. Construction will commence on November 21.
"Project Schedule: The following is the preliminary milestone schedule for the Project. The required Substantial Completion date is September 1, 2017, time being of the essence:
RFP Issued May 26, 2016
Pre-submittal Meeting June 2, 2016 @ 2:00 pm
Questions Deadline June 9, 2016 @ 5:00 pm
Proposal Deadline June 16, 2016 @ 3:00 pm
Interviews TBD
Award TBD
CMaR Contract and NTP July 2016
Design Start May 2016
Construction Start November 21, 2016
Substantial Completion September 1, 2017
Final Completion October 1, 2017"
NTP means "Notice to Proceed" and is a letter from UH to the contractor stating the date the contractor can begin work subject to the conditions of the contract. For purposes of fines for late completion, the performance time of the contract starts from the NTP date.
While the UH BOR Facilities Committee has approved this project in general, and the Board as approved the hiring of the architects in particular, the entire project needs to be greenlighted by the Finance Committee after the financing and fundraising is finished. Given that we've now put the CMAR for bid and will issue a Notice to Proceed in July, I presume Board finance committee approval will occur at the August 25 BOR meeting.
