Main St. Round Rock, TX 78664 Re: BCRUA Phase 1C Water Treatment Plant(WTP) Expansion Project No.: 03-00619 Dear Ms. Bondy.- On ondy:On September 26,2018,Walker Partners assisted the BCRUA in opening competitive sealed proposals for the above referenced project. Four responsive, competitive sealed proposals were submitted by Archer Western Construction, LLC(Archer Western)of Irving,TX, CSA Construction, Inc. (CSA)of Houston,TX, Excel Construction Services, LLC (Excel) of Leander, TX and Kiewit Water Facilities South Co. (Kiewit) of Irving, TX. None of the proposals included any deviations from the contract documents. The proposals were evaluated and ranked based on the following selection criteria: 30%for Contractor Relevant Experience and References,60%for Cost Proposal and 10% for Proposed Schedule. Based on evaluation of the proposals, Excel is the highest ranked proposer offering the best value, as determined by the selection criteria and ranking assessment. Evaluation of Excel's proposal included a review of their technical qualifications and experience,including major subcontractors.A background check was performed via telephone poll of owners and engineering firms for similar projects Excel has completed over the past several years.The overall impression from this investigation and review is that Excel provides quality work in a timely and professional manner.Also,our Walker Partners team has recently completed successful projects with Excel, including at the City of Cedar Park Water Treatment Plant. The WTP Expansion proposal includes eight Additive Alternates that are listed in the table below.Since the total Base Proposal amount is favorable,the BCRUA elected to include Add Alternates 1A, 1 B.2,4 and 5 into the project. The total amount of the selected Add Alternates is $1,612,000.00.The BCRUA decided to exclude Add Alternates 1 C and 3 from the project.Add Alternate 6 is for Texas Water Development Board reporting purposes and is not a requirement of this project.

Consider a resolution authorizing the President to execute a Construction Contract with Excel Construction Services, LLC for Phase 1C Water Treatment Plant Expansion. PRESENTER: Karen Bondy,General Manager BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION: Bids were opened for this project on September 26,2018. Responsive Competitive Sealed Proposals(bids)were received from Archer Western, Excel Construction,CSA Construction and Kiewit(see attached).The rank order of the base price proposal was as follows: Excel Construction: $7,388,270.00 Archer Western $8,683,300.00 CSA Construction $9,213,000.00 Kiewit $9,314,300.00 Each proposal also includes eight alternate proposals. After considering the alternate proposals,Staff and the OC recommend including Alternate Items 1A, 1B, 2,4 and S. Excel's proposal for these items is$1,612,000.After considering these items, Excel Construction remained the lowest responsive bidder with a Final Negotiated Proposal of$9,100,270.00. Based on the recommendation of our design engineer,Walker Partners,the lowest responsive and highest ranked bid was from Excel Construction. Staff and the OC held a conference call with Walker Partners on October 3, 2018 and agreed unanimously to recommend award of this contract to Excel Construction Services, LLC in the amount of$9,100,270.00. FUNDING: Funding for this contract was approved at the April 17,2017 Board meeting,and by all three-member city councils in subsequent meetings. Since the contract award will exceed the BCRUXs authorized maximum of$500,000, per the Master Agreement, Board approval of this contract will need to be contingent on approval by all three BCRUA member city councils. Staff,OC representatives,and representatives of Walker Partners will be available to answer any Board questions.
