Title
Resolution - A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Mansfield, Texas, Rejecting all Bids for the Construction of the Man House Information Center and Restroom Building Received Through A Public Bid Opening
Requested Action
Approve a Resolution to reject all proposals received for the construction of the Man House Information Center & Restroom Building project.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the Resolution.
Description/History
After opening and reviewing all thirteen (13) proposals received for the construction of the Information Center & Restroom Building, staff has determined that the scope and design of the project should be reviewed and revised to result in a more cost-effective solution for the needs of the museum staff and the visitors using these facilities.
Justification
Proposals received were significantly higher than what was estimated by a third-party estimator, however, throughout the design process, decisions related to construction materials, space utilization and architectural elements were made with the overall budget in mind. As a result, staff would recommend that alternative design options be investigated and vetted, with the project being re-bid at a future date.
