Title
Resolution - A Resolution Determining the Best Value in Awarding the Construction Contract Regarding the Addition and Renovations to the Mansfield Animal Care and Control Facility
Requested Action
Review and Selection of a method by City Council for awarding a construction contract for the Addition and Renovations to the Mansfield Animal Care and Control Facility
Recommendation
Callahan & Freeman Architects and Administration Staff recommend that City Council determine that the best method of awarding bids for this project is the "Design Build Contract" method
Description/History
Local Government Code requires a City to select a method of Project Delivery of Public Construction Contracts prior to advertising for bids from a contractor if using one of the following options: (1) competitive bidding; (2) competitive sealed proposals for construction services; (3) design build contract; (4) a contract that involves using a construction manager agent; or (5) a contract that utilizes a construction manager-at-risk
Justification
The City of Mansfield utilized the Design Build method of Construction Contracts on the Phase II Addition and Renovations utilizing Callahan & Freeman as the Architect. The proposed new structure will be smaller in size and constructure as provided in Phase II. The previous Design Build Contract succeeded in providing the City with the best value in overall cost, keeping the project under budget and closing out within the projected time schedule.
