SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - August 11, 2005
ITEM: 11.A.1. Consider a resolution determining that "Competitive Sealed Proposal"
is the delivery method which provides the best value for the City for

Staff Person: James Hemenes, Parks Development Manager
Justification:
Effective September 1, 2001, Texas Local Government Code Section 271.113 allows cities to use
certain methods other than competitive bidding in entering into contracts for construction of
facilities. One such method is "Competitive Sealed Proposals." Section 271.114 (a) mandates
that the "governing body of an entity that is considering a construction contract using a method
specified by Section 271.113 (a) other than competitive bidding must, before advertising,
determine which method provides the best value for the government entity." With the existing
competitive market staff feels that the "competitive sealed proposal" would provide the best value
for building this project.
