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 "Construction Manager at Risk." 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."
Funding:
Cost: N/A
Source of funds: N/A
Outside Resources: YMCA
Background Information•
The YMCA plans to build an eight lane competitive pool and a recreational pool/natatorium.
The construction manager at risk method would work well with the aggressive timeline
needed for design and construction. The construction team could be brought in the early
part of the design to help with costs and design decisions. Since the City is participating in
the funding of a portion of the project, the City Council must make a determination that the
"Construction Manager at Risk" delivery method provides the best value for the City.
