RE: City of Leander Delivery Improvements
Recommendation to Award Construction Contract
Dear Mr. Gallier,
On May 8, 2017, Walker Partners assisted the Brushy Creek Regional Utility Authority (BCRUA) in opening
competitive sealed proposals for the above referenced project. Five responsive competitive sealed proposals were
submitted for the City of Leander Delivery Improvements Project.The proposals were evaluated and ranked based
on the following selection criteria:20%Contractor Relevant Experience and References, 10%Responsiveness and
Reliability, 50% Cost Proposal and 20% Proposed Schedule. Based on evaluation of the proposals,the table below
lists the overall ranking of the five proposers.
Firm Rank
Whitestone Civil Construction, LLC 1
Austin Engineering Co., Inc. 2
Keystone Construction 3
Blackcastle General Contractor 4
CRU 5
Whitestone Civil Construction, LLC(Whitestone), of Cedar Park,Texas, is the highest ranked proposer offering the
best value as determined in by the selection criteria and ranking evaluation.
Evaluation of Whitestone's proposal included a review of the technical qualifications and experience of Whitestone
and their listed subcontractors. A background check was also performed via telephone poll of reference projects
Whitestone listed in their proposal. The overall impression from this investigation and review is that Whitestone
provides quality work in a timely and professional manner.
Whitestone listed three deviations in their proposal as follows: 1)Extend the Substantial Completion No. 1 milestone
from 60 to 98 calendar days and Substantial Completion No, 2 milestone from 100 to 112 calendar days, 2) Extend
the Final Completion deadline from 121 to 127 calendar days, and 3) Delete "Supplier" from General Conditions,
Article 7.06 H.
Discussion with the BCRUA resulted in a decision that the time extension deviations are acceptable, as long as
shutdown of the Leander finished water delivery interconnect is limited to a maximum of ten calendar days.
Whitestone is amenable to the above shutdown requirement. The contract time deviations and shutdown condition
will be added to the Agreement, Section 00500.After discussion with Whitestone, deviation No. 3 will be waived.
Based on the information presented and evaluation of the proposals. Walker Partners recommends the BCRUA
award a Contract to Whitestone in the amount of$358,524.00. We will prepare the Notice of Intent to Award Letter

TBPE Reg strotion No.8053 1 TBPL5 Registration No 10032500
and other contract documents to be forwarded to Whitestone pending final acceptance and direction from the
