(DISCUSSION) SUBMITTED BY: Robert Warren, Trustee SUMMARY EXPLANATION: ATTACHMENT: 1. 08.27.26 BCOC Item Request STAFF RECOMMENDATION: ACTION BY COMMITTEE: Page 8 of 17 Page 9 of 17 BUSINESS OF THE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE MEETING DATE: August 27, 2026 PLACEMENT: Action Item ITEM TITLE: Agreement for Owner Representation Services for Fire Department Renovation and Expansion Project (ACTION) SUBMITTED BY: John Delain, Fire Chief SUMMARY EXPLANATION: Over the last few years, the Germantown Fire Department (GFD) has been working on a remodeling and expansion project of our current fire station. As GFD has moved through this process we have experienced many complications that an Owners Representative could help guide us through. Please find attached a proposal from MC Group (same group the PD is utilizing) for $5000.00 to assist us with Phase 1 of our project. As we progress through the phases GFD will return to this committee for future approvals. ATTACHMENT: 1. 20260825_GFD MC Group ORS Phase 1 Proposal STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Move to recommend approval of agreement with MC Group to provide Owner Representation Services for Fire Department Renovation and Expansion project in an amount not to exceed $5,000. ACTION BY COMMITTEE: Page 10 of 17 1 AGREEMENT BETWEEN OWNER & OWNER’S REPRESENTATIVE This Agreement is made and entered into on August 18, 2026 between MC Group, LLC (“MC Group”) 233 Grey Fox Court Colgate, WI 53017 (262) 227-4895 and Village of Germantown WI (“Owner”) N112 W17001 Mequon Road Germantown, WI 53022 for the purpose of having MC Group provide Owner Representation Services (ORS) for the Germantown Fire Department (GPD) Renovation and Expansion during the Phase 1: Concepts Development & Presentation related the project located in Germantown, Wisconsin (the "Project”). Services for the subsequent phases outlined may be approved by Village at a later date. For and in consideration of the covenants, promises and obligations made and undertaken as hereinafter provided, and in further consideration of the monies to be paid to MC Group from time to time hereunder, MC Group and Owner do hereby agree as follows. ARTICLE I - SCOPE OF SERVICES MC Group shall, as part of this Agreement and in consideration of the compensation set forth herein, provide the following services as directed by the Owner, which shall be referred to as Owner Representation Services, for the Project: Project Understanding The Village of Germantown has approved $6.5M towards improvements and expansion of the existing Germantown Fire Department facility located at N115W18752 Edison Dr, Germantown, WI. The scope of the project is yet to be defined or approved. The Village has retained SEH Architects (A/E) for design services and CG Schmidt Construction for Construction Manager At Risk (CMAR) services. Initial program and concepts development has commenced but has been stalled due to the identification of the presence of mold within the walls of the existing facility. Further review has indicated that the original construction is not performing as an adequate building envelope causing air and moisture to penetrate the building envelop systems leading to the promulgating of mold within and on the walls. As a result of these findings, the Project Team has been tasked with developing concepts that not only address the space and expansion needs of the GFD, but also that address the building envelope performance and mold concerns. Options being explored include demolition of some entire portions of the building where the presence of mold is most prolific. Page 11 of 17 2 The resulting expanded scope of the project has stressed the approved $6.5M approved budget. Some of the sensible concept solutions that the Project Team is exploring may/will likely prove that $6.5M is inadequate. The Village has subsequently requested MC Group LLC to complete a cursory site visit to understand the conditions, project parameters and to contribute towards the development and presentation of concept solution options for the Construction Oversight Committee and the Village Board to consider. The following draft agreement includes the proposed MC Group involvement, services and proposed compensation organized in sequential project phases. The Initial Phase 1: Concepts Development & Presentation includes proposed not-to-exceed (NTE) hourly compensation. The subsequent phases list anticipated services but do not include proposed compensation at this time because those services and fees are dependent on the scope of work and duration to implement of the concept selected. Therefore, the subsequent phases can be considered optional by the Village deferring the acceptance to a future date after the concept is selected and approved and scope of work and implementation duration is known. Our approach is focused on efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and collaboration with the selected project team, ensuring a streamlined process and successful project delivery. Based on our extensive experience in construction management and project oversight, we have developed this scope of services tailored specifically to meet the needs of your project while avoiding duplication of efforts with the Architect and CMAR (Construction Manager at Risk). Our goal is to work seamlessly with the selected project team, leveraging our expertise to add value and support the successful completion of the project. Owner’s Representative Services MC Group will represent Owner’s interests during the planning and implementation of the project by providing the following services if and as necessary and as directed by Village Administrator Matt Trebatoski or his appointed designees. PHASE 1: CONCEPTS DEVELOPMENT & PRESENTATION 1.1 Conduct “Kick-Off” Meeting with the Project Team Meet with the Project Team including but not limit ed to SEH Architects, CG Schmist Construction, the Fire Chief and Village Administrator Matt Trebatoski to understand the findings and efforts completed to date. Further, to discuss and understand the options being developed for consideration while offering fresh views and ideas for consideration. 1.2 Develop Concept Solution Options Participate and direct the Project Team in the dev elopment of Concepts that include narrative work scope, concept floor plans, concept site plans, opinion of construction costs and conceptual total project budgets for each option. The Concepts will address both current needs with a single facility as the Village’s Fire Department and longer-term needs when a second Fire Department facility will likely be needed. - The current location could be planned to be the main Fire Department facility with a future geographically strategically placed satellite facility. Page 12 of 17 3 - Conversely, the current location could be planned to address current needs with the intent of it becoming a satellite facility in the future when a new “main” facility is approved and provided. The development of the various Concept Solution Options will address these dynamics so that the Village Board can make an informed decision based on a project master plan. 1.3 Present the various Concept Solution Options to the Building Construction Oversight Committee In collaboration with the Project Team including t he Fire Chief and Village Administrator Matt Trebatoski , present the various Concept Solution Options to the Building Construction Oversight Committee for their consideration, questions, suggestions and other input. -Modify the various concepts based on the Construction Oversight’s input, suggestions and direction 1.4 Present the various Concept Solution Options to the Village Board In collaboration with the Project Team, including the Fire Chief and Village Administrator Matt Trebatoski , present the various Concept Solution Options to the Village Board for their consideration and potential action that may include selection of an option and approval to proceed with same based on presented option attributes and measurable features including program, layout, cost, schedule and long-term suitability. Conclusion of Phase 1: CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT & PRESENTATION ARTICLE II – COMPENSATION for SERVICES MC Group proposes to provide the necessary Owner’s Representation Services on an hourly basis accruing against an agreed upon estimated total value. Under this scenario, only actual time incurred is billed with all potential savings from unused/unbilled fees being 100% returned to Owner. MC Group uses this billing arrangement commonly with other clients which often results in final billed amounts to be less than the estimated value. We like to return savings to the Owner from various sources, including our own fees. The following represents the estimated fees for Phase 1: CONCEPTS DEVELOPMENT & PRESENTATION as a not-to-exceed total based on the hourly rates provided. Not-to-exceed values for the subsequent phases will be developed and presented for Village’s approval at a future date when a concept has been selected and approved at which time the scope of the project and the duration required to implement same is known, Page 13 of 17 4 MC Group plans to staff your project primarily with Ric Miller and Maura Riordan, supported by Christina Markham as Project Coordinator.
