SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - December 21, 2006
ITEM: 9.C,1. Consider a resolution determining that "Design Build" is the
delivery method, which provides the best value for the City for
remodel and construction of the East Gate Entrance for the Dell
Diamond Facility.
Department: Engineering and Development Services
Staff person: Tom Word, Chief of Public Works Operations
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 "Design Build." 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 "Design Build" would
provide the best value for building this project.
