All in favor CONSIDER PROPOSAL FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER/GENERAL CONTRACTOR SERVICES FOR CITY HALL REMODEL PROJECT Mayor Pro Tem Brown requested a Staff presentation. Deputy City Manager Boyd explained Staff is working with Architect Greg McMenamin on completing building drawings for the City Hall remodel project, and planning for the construction of the building improvements. The project will be complex as it includes a new HVAC system, roof, re-wiring the entire building for technology upgrades, demolition of approximately 80% of the interior space and phased construction to allow for the continuation of services. Staff and the architect recommend hiring a contractor to work with the City in a Construction Manager/General Contractor role instead of the traditional design/bid/build process. This is the method used in the Library construction, and it has been very successful. The City would use a competitive process to select the CM/GC, issuing a Request for Proposals and reviewing documents submitted including pricing for fees/overhead and General Conditions of construction contract. The advantage to the CM/GC process is the ability to include pre-construction services. It is important to begin the contractor selection process as soon as possible. MOTION: Council member Marsella moved Council authorize Staff to issue a Request for Proposals for Construction Manager/General Contractor services for the City Hall renovation project. Council member Yarnell seconded the motion. All in favor.
