Title
A Resolution accepting the recommendation of the Procurement Officer, to authorize the City to negotiate and execute a Construction Services Agreement for the Construction Phase of the Public Safety Building Project, pursuant to Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 2017.06.YG, in an amount not-to-exceed $53,000,000, whereby said approval of a not-to-exceed amount does not indicate a determination of the final contract amount.
Body
On August 29, 2017, the City Commission accepted the recommendation to award the Construction Manager at Risk (CMR) for the Construction of a New Public Safety Building Project (“the Project”) to The Weitz Company, LLC, the most qualified Proposer.
On September 14, 2017, the City Commission accepted the recommendation of the Public Works Director to negotiate and execute a Pre-Construction Services Agreement for the Pre-Construction Phase of the Public Safety Building Project.
The Public Works Department in conjunction with the Procurement Division is in the process of negotiating a Construction Services Agreement for the Construction phase of the Project at an amount that is fair, competitive, and reasonable.
In an effort to expedite the negotiations of the Construction Services Agreement and to keep the project on schedule, this Resolution seeks to authorize the City to negotiate and execute the Construction Services Agreement for a not-to-exceed amount.
The approval sought of a not-to-exceed amount does not indicate a determination of the final contract amount, as the City is encouraged to negotiate a lower amount in the best interest of the City that is fair, competitive, and reasonable.
