Dan Tarwater III, County Legislator, asked about the cost escalation

aspect of the project. Given current inflation, if the project incurs increased

costs, will the design-build team cut items from the project or come back to

the Legislature to request more money. Mr. Wehmuller said the

design-build team will not be allowed to come back to ask for more money.

They will find a way to address the concerns and needs within the budget. If

there are costs increases, there may be a discussion with the County and

decisions that will be made with the Legislature. The process will be

transparent.

Tony Miller, County Legislator, said we are making commitments to the

community that we will deliver a quality facility that addresses the

humanity of those held at the facility. These cost escalations will bring

conversations and decisions can be made if an issue arises. Mr.

Wehmuller said there are certain criteria in the project that cannot be

compromised.

Jeanie Lauer, County Legislator, asked for the list of criteria that is

included in the specifications. Mr. Wehmuller said he would provide an

executive summary condensing the 3,000 pages of criteria. Mr. Musser

said the programming summary will cover this criterion.

Ronald E. Finley, County Legislator, asked about the JCDC Partners role

in the potential cost escalation. Mr. Wehmuller said their requirement is to

get the County the best quality product within the budget. They bring their

expertise together to do research and evaluation to determine the best

options.

Mr. Finley asked about the possibility of a regional facility in cooperation

with the City of Kansas City. Babette Macy said two years ago they did

engage with the City of Kansas City. At that time, the City was not

interested in working with the County. The JCDC team decided to move

ahead with the project. The City has discussed some options, but nothing

concrete. It is best for the County to move forward and stick to the current

plan.

Dan Tarwater III said some representatives from the City did reach out to

his office. The City was looking at building its own facility, but those costs

came in high, and they are reconsidering their partnership with the County.

Frank White, Jr., County Executive, said he is happy to meet with the City

to make sure whatever deals are made benefit everyone.

Mr. Tarwater asked about pre-cast or modular systems. He asked how

JCDC tracks the minority participation from out of town vendors. Mr.

Wehmuller said they will take those factors into consideration.

Mr. Finley asked that the lines of communication remain open.

Jalen Anderson, County Legislator, asked about the minority participation

percentages and if this goal focuses on the entire project or just parts of

the project. Mr. Wehmuller said this can be better addressed by the

design-build team.

Mr. Anderson asked if there have been productive discussions to meet the

permitting requirements. Mr. Wehmuller said the process has been

smooth. Mr. Anderson said if there are discussions with the City, we should

make sure the right parties are involved in those meetings.

Tony Miller said regarding the possibility of the City’s involvement in the

project, given the right circumstances, the Legislature would be open to

those discussions, even if it is part of a future expansion. The City could

decide to rezone or give a special use permit if the County and the City

decide to collaborate on a project.

Ronald E. Finley asked for clarification of the diagram in the presentation

materials. Babette Macy said the lines in the middle indicate Ewing

Avenue. The blue part is an estimation of what the facility might look like.

The City of Kansas City owns the property to the north. There is a 1,000

feet setback from the Blue Valley Park with the facility planned to the east

of Ewing Avenue.

Jeff Jenkins, Project Director of JE Dunn and Darcy Stewart,

Communications for JE Dunn, said they are excited to get started. The first

kick-off meeting is next week. The minority goals will be vetted for each

contractor as they go along with the project. Ms. Stewart said they have

120 days of pre-construction they are starting on. They will have a first

meeting with the entire team on June 21, 2022. Jalen Anderson asked for

a list of the design build team. Ms. Stewart said the list of partners was

distributed during their presentation on May 21, 2022. The team includes

JE Dunn, Daniel Felder of Axiom Construction, and the DLR Group.

Dan Tarwater III asked about the fill dirt requirement at the site. Mr.

Jenkins said the team would like to get started on this as soon as possible,

but after their meeting next week, he will have more information.

Theresa Cass Galvin, County Legislator, asked if there is a vendor to

provide the dirt. Mr. Jenkins said they will open the process up to bids.

They use software similar to what the County uses to solicit bids. They will

have more information by their next presentation.

Mr. Jenkins said there are certain trigger points in the contract that will

require legislative approval before it moves forward.
