Last Wednesday the Fernley City Council voted to extend the contract with the TSK architectural
firm to complete construction documents for the Early Learning Center (ELC), or phase II of the
Community Resource and Response Center (CRRC).
There was $361,348 remaining in TSK’s CRRC budget as of May 31, and with TSK invoices for
June and July anticipated to be less than $60,000, there should be more than enough in the
remaining budget to cover the $258,590 time and materials budget with TSK for completion of
the construction documents for the ELC, according to Deputy City Manager Lydia Altick.
The city council had earlier approved for TSK to move forward with 50 percent construction
documents for the ELC. The newly approved contract extension with TSK will bring the
construction documents for the ELC to 100 percent, Altick said.
As shown on the already completed floor plans for the ELC, there will be four classrooms, one
for infants, one for toddlers, one for 2- to 3-year-olds and one for 4- and 5-year-olds, as well as a
reception area, office, a small kitchen, a laundry room and restrooms, she said.
Essentially, this means the savings from TSK’s budget for the CRRC will pay for the completion
of the construction documents for the ELC, said Mayor Neal McIntyre.
It is anticipated completion of the construction documents for the ELC will take about 9 weeks.
There is no funding at this time for construction of the ELC, but if there was, it would probably
take a little less than a year and a half to complete construction of the ELC, Altick said.
