Commissioners to weigh $315,100 owner's rep work order for Station 8

Teton County commissioners are set to vote on a not-to-exceed $315,100 Work Order 11 with Wember, Inc. to act as the county’s owner’s representative on the planned Station 8 (Gros Ventre) fire station. The agreement would cover procurement and pre-design through construction closeout and a warranty period, and staff says the full contract amount would be requested from Friends of the Gros Ventre Fire Station in capital grant revenue.

If approved, the owner’s representative role puts Wember in the middle of the money and the schedule, including tracking a master project budget, reviewing pay applications, and helping manage the Guaranteed Maximum Price or hard bid award. The staff report describes Station 8 as an approximately 9,000 sq ft facility with housing, planned on county property at 947 Sandcherry Way, with Friends of the Gros Ventre Fire Station aiming to raise and donate “$8 million +” for planning, design, permitting, and construction.
