Yaman Park Construction Cost Estimate.pdf

This is a cost estimate document for the City of Cortland's Yaman Park Renovations project, which correlates with the solicitation of architectural and engineering services funded through the New York State Water Infrastructure Improvement Act - Swimming Facilities Program (NY SWIMS). The project encompasses the demolition and renovation of a 4.5-acre park that includes demolition of a 2,500 square-foot building and a 3,000 square-foot pavilion, along with construction of a new 2,500 square-foot bathhouse. The scope includes sitework demolition and cost estimates, with improvements designed to provide full ADA accessibility including accessible ramps and Mobi-Mats to the beach while ensuring compliance with current codes and NYS standards. The RFP for design services closed on August 3, 2026, with the question deadline set for July 21, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. Site visits to Yaman Park are encouraged and the facility is open to the public seven days a week from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The City Council is scheduled to award the contract on August 18, 2026, with execution on August 19, 2026.

The rough construction cost estimate for 2025 totals $3,852,224, with an escalation adjustment of 3% annually projected through 2028, bringing the total to approximately $4,198,924. Soft costs including survey, design documents (8%), and construction administration (4%) are estimated at $503,871, resulting in a total construction and soft costs estimate of $4,702,795 before design contingency. The project is funded through the NY SWIMS grant program. MWBE/SDVOB participation is an evaluation criterion, requiring firms to document minority and women-owned business enterprise and service-disabled veteran-owned business participation in their proposals. The selected architectural and engineering firm must carry general liability insurance of $3,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate and comply with DASNY procedures, NY SWIMS grant schedules, New York State procurement guidelines, prevailing wage compliance requirements, and equal employment opportunity regulations.
