SUBJECT:
Title
Approval of the issuance of an invitation for competitive sealed proposals for the Common Street Project since the City Council finds that this delivery method will provide the best value to the City.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
The citywide street program was approved in the 2013 Bond election. Projects in this program could include: Asphalt excavation and replacement, base repairs, curb repair/replacement, sidewalk repairs/replacement, and concrete diamonds around meter boxes and manholes.
On July 23, 2018, City Council approved a contract task order with MWM Design Group to provide engineering design, bid phase, construction phase and surveying services for the final design of Common Street (Gruene Road to Hanz Drive).
City staff recommends issuing an invitation for a Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) as the procurement method for the contract to construct this project. The CSP method allows the City to evaluate the most qualified contractors and the best value for the project. The evaluation of the proposals received by City staff will be presented to City Council for direction regarding the approval of a contract for construction.
