Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the Attached Resolution.
Explanation:
The City requires professional general contractors to construct various Public Safety and Capital Improvement Projects in the City.
On January 13, 2016, Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Number 4501-16-RD was electronically advertised via BidSync and was opened at 3:00 p.m. on February 8, 2016, and resulted in thirteen (13) responses.
After review of the proposals received and the RFQ document issued, City staff recommended the cancellation of RFQ-4501-16-RD, as the RFQ’s specifications required revisions, and the issuance of a new RFQ with revised specifications and qualifications to create a pre-qualified list for the construction of Public Safety and Capital Improvement Projects in the City.
The Department of Public Works Engineering Support Services Division prepared revised specifications and required qualifications for a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Contractor Pre-qualification for various City projects.
The awarded pre-qualified firms would then be eligible to bid on City public safety and capital improvement projects for the next thirty-six (36) months when the City determines a project will require Contractors to be pre-qualified.
On April 12, 2016, Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Number 4511-16-RD was electronically advertised via BidSync in accordance with the City’s Purchasing Ordinance, Section 38.42(A).
RFQ-4511-16-RD was opened at 3:00 p.m. on April 28, 2016, and resulted in the following ten (10) responses:
