Discussion:
The City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) includes the replacement of roofing materials at the Public Works Facility (BA-21-001) and Fire Station #1 (BA-22-001), along with the four rooftop air handler units at the Public Works facility (BA-21-002). All items are approaching the end of their useful life and their proactive replacement will limit potential risks to the facilities, decrease maintenance costs, and improve overall efficiency of the facilities. Originally these projects were scheduled to take place over multiple years, but due to time constraints and in order to be more efficient in project bidding and schedules, these three projects will take place at the same time.
Due to the size, scope, and complexity of the projects staff has solicited quotes for construction management services. Responses were received from RJM Construction and H+U Construction. Both firms are well qualified and have experience with similar projects. Staff reviewed the proposals and recommends entering into a contract with H+U Construction.
If approved, staff will work with H+U Construction to prepare project plans and specifications, and be back before City Council throughout the competitive bid process.
