Twelve firms submitted prequalification statements <br />and eight were sent a request for proposals for <br />providing design/build services to the City of <br />Louisville for the Recreation facility of which <br />five firms replied and were then reviewed "blind" <br />and scored. <br />Two firms were eliminated and interviews were <br />arranged for the three remaining proposers after <br />receiving a list of concerns the committee had <br />with their respective proposal. <br />The high scoring proposal is perceived by the <br />committee and staff to provide the largest <br />facility, 55,442 s.f., the highest grade of pool <br />and recreation center amenities, and the most <br />advantageous pricing structure resulting in the <br />lowest cost/square foot $57.00/s.f. With <br />unanimous consent, the committee is recommending <br />Council award Denver Commercial Builders a cost- <br />plus, not-to-exceed design/build construction <br />contract in an amount not-to-exceed $3,195,000. <br />Richard Bowler, Director of Business Development, <br />and other members of Denver Commercial Builders <br />were present to detail the plans for the center <br />with a rendering showing the elevations, <br />landscaping, gabled vaulted entrance and lobby, <br />the child care center, changing rooms, pool with a <br />160 ft. water slide, a main 25 meter pool, 1/10th <br />mile running track and stretching area, <br />cardiovascular training area, aerobics studio, <br />gymnasium, Senior's area, two classrooms, multi- <br />purpose rooms, weight machine room, free weight <br />room, racquetball courts, locker rooms, storage <br />areas, and outside activities including Bocci <br />ball, volleyball and horseshoe pits. <br />DCB studied the location and nature of the <br />extensive future expansion capabilities that this <br />design will allow with 8,603 s.f. being identified <br />with much larger future expansion capabilities <br />possible. <br />DCB will compile a list of all local businesses <br />that offer the required products or services which <br />are not already committed. Those businesses which <br />meet DCB's prequalification requirements will be <br />invited to bid on the appropriate items and, if <br />they provide the lowest competitive bid, and <br />demonstrate the required quality and schedule <br />capabilities, they will be awarded the work. <br />After Council questions and discussion, Carnival <br />moved and Scarpella seconded to award <br />
