DATE: March 21, 2003
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting — March 27, 2003
ITEM: 9.G. 3. Consider a resolution determining that "competitive sealed proposals
for construction services" is the delivery method which provides the
best value for the City for construction of the Senior Center, instead of
"Construction Manager at Risk" which was previously approved by
Council on April 11, 2002.
Resource: Larry Madsen, Construction Manager
History: 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." The
staff had recommended "Construction Manager At Risk" earlier when it was
thought that the Seniors would need to move out of existing senior center due to
problems at the existing building. Now with the competitive market staff feels
that the "competitive sealed proposal" would provide the best value for building
this project.
