BACKGROUND
On October 1, 2021, the Board approved an agreement with Sun Patric Architecture, Inc., DBA sparcdesign, as a result of RFQ 2021020, to execute the architectural and engineering design of the new clubhouse. The original design, issued as bid 2024029, was for an 18,000 square-foot facility. Bids were opened on February 8, 2024, with the low bid of $14,670,444.26 exceeding available and anticipated funding. The Board rejected the bids associated with 2024029 at its February 20, 2024 meeting, and authorized staff to work with the architect to refine the design to reduce scope and cost. Additional modifications to the agreement with sparcdesign were approved by the Board throughout design.
Sandridge Golf Club endeavored to replace its existing clubhouse, built in 1992. A prior bid for construction was far above budget, leading to the following primary modifications to the original design:
1) Removal of the Port Cochere at the entrance to the building: estimated to save $600,000
2) Removal of a ¾ mile stretch of 12” water pipe for a fire hydrant, instead allowing a dry fire hydrant: estimated to save $700,000
3) Lowered the building three feet to putting green level, eliminating the need for a retaining wall, railings and stairs; estimated to save $500,000
