Title
Resolution - A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Mansfield, Texas, Adopting and Approving the use of the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Delivery Method for the Construction of the New City Hall Project; Delegating Authority to the City Manager or His Designee; Finding that the Meeting at which this Resolution is Passed is Open to the Public as Required by Law; and Declaring an Effective Date
Requested Action
Staff is requesting approval of the CMAR method for the New City Hall Project.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval.
Description/History
The current City Hall facility no longer has the capacity to serve the staff who work in the building. Over the past ten years, conference rooms, hallways, and waiting areas have been remodeled to accommodate additional office spaces.
In November 2023, the Mansfield City Council and MISD Board met and voted to approved a property exchange where the City of Mansfield received the school district's property along Walnut Creek that includes Geyer Field, administration buildings, original Mansfield High School, historic Rock Gym, and additional developments, and Mansfield ISD received the City Hall facility and additional property behind at 1200 E. Broad St.
Justification
This property exchange necessitates a strict timeline for completing the New City Hall Project to facilitate the relocation of MISD staff to the 1200 E. Broad location. The Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method improves project schedule management and emphasizes collaboration and problem-solving early in the design process.
