Re: BCRUA Phase 1C Raw Water Intake Barge(RWIB)Expansion
Project No.: 03-00619
Dear Ms. Bondy:
On September 19,2018,Walker Partners assisted the BCRUA in opening competitive sealed proposals for the
above referenced project. Two responsive, competitive sealed proposals were submitted by Archer Western
Construction, LLC (Archer Western) of Irving, TX and Excel Construction Services, LLC (Excel) of Leander, TX_
Neither proposal 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 the BCRUA Phase 1A RWIB and at the City of Cedar Park
Water Treatment Plant.
Based on the information presented and evaluation of the proposals, Walker Partners recommends that the
BCRUA award a contract to Excel in the amount of $4,531,300.00 for the Phase 1C RWIB Expansion. We will
prepare the Notice of Intent to Award Letter and other contract documents for transmittal to Excel, pending final
acceptance and direction from the BCRUA.
Sincerely,
Jason Christensen, P.E.
Project Manager

SUBJECT: BCRUA Board Meeting—October 24, 2018
ITEM: 7C. Consider a resolution authorizing the President to execute a Construction Contract
with Excel Construction Services, LLC for Phase 1C Raw Water intake Barge
Expansion.
PRESENTER: Karen Bondy,General Manager
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Bids were opened for this project on September 19, 2018. Responsive Competitive Sealed Proposals (bids)were
received from Archer Western and Excel Construction(see attached).The rank order of the base price proposal
was as follows:
Archer Western: $4,427,795.00
Excel Construction: $4,541,300.00
Each proposal also includes one alternate proposal,which was not included in the proposed final contract.
The proposals were evaluated and ranked based on the selection criteria including contractor relevant
experience and references,cost proposal and proposed schedule. Based on evaluation of the proposals and the
recommendation of Walker Partners,our design engineer, Excel Construction is the highest ranked proposer
offering the best value,as determined by the selection criteria and ranking assessment.
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. After Negotiated Value Engineering,
Excel Construction is the highest ranked responsive bidder with a Final Negotiated Proposal of$4,531,300.00.
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 BCRUA's 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.
