CASSGLBCRRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of March 22, 2021 — Regular Meeting Pagett 01`15 10. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCES No items were presented for consideration on this agenda. 11. PUBLIC HEARINGS No items were presented for consideration on this agenda. 12. OTHER ITEMS A. Contract SOQ-2021-0715 - Construction Manager at Risk Agreement with Wharton -Smith, Inc. for Parks Construction Projects Staff Presentation: Deputy Public Works Director/City Engineer Kelly Brock stated that Contract SOQ- 2021-0715 provides for a Construction Manager at Risk Agreement with Wharton -Smith, Inc. for Parks Construction Projects. He explained that in 2020 staff had looked at the potential for this type of contracting to allow the City to construct the park bond projects faster than anticipated under the typical design -to -build process. It was also felt there was an opportunity for value engineering during the design of all the projects and better quality and cost controls in hopes that all the projects could be built rather than one of the lower priority ones being sacrificed. A solicitation was released in December 2020 for Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) services. Six proposals were received, and Wharton -Smith was ranked the highest during the evaluation process. He further explained that the potential for this contract was over $20 million worth of construction. However, what is being requested for approval tonight is the over -arching agreement that sets the framework for what is to come; it does not actually authorize specific work. He explained that supplemental agreements would be addressed in the following agenda items. Each of the parks will have one supplemental agreement that is intended to cover everything for that park and when each park project is ready to go to construction, staff will bring forward an amendment to the supplemental agreement with a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) to authorize the construction services. Budget Impact: There is no budget impact associated with this item at this time. Work will be assigned through separate Supplemental Agreements as needed, subject to available budget and City Commission approval. Recommendation: The City Manager and the Public Works Director recommended approval of Contract SOQ-2021-0715 Construction Manager at Risk Agreement with Wharton -Smith, Inc. for Parks Construction Projects. Audience Participation: No one carne forward to address the City Commission regarding this item. MOTION: Commissioner Aramendia moved to approve Contract SOQ-2021-0715 — Construction Manager at Risk Agreement with Wharton -Smith, Inc. for Parks Construction Projects, as presented. Motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Busch. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote 5-0.
