Recommended Action

Background Information
During the Solid Waste District Governing Body Meeting held on November 23, 2021, the Commission approved the following motions:
Ø A motion was made direct the City Manager to proceed with a Waste Transfer Station at the property currently owned by Solid Waste.
Ø A motion was made to direct staff to proceed with a clean floor new technology with compaction type of transfer station.
Staff from the Department of Public Works coordinated with staff from the Purchasing Division to develop and advertise Request for Qualification (RFQ) No. 2024-04 seeking a qualified firm for construction manager services needed for the Solid Waste Transfer Station. RFQ No. 2024-04 was opened on December 20, 2023. Only one firm responded, and J. Kokolakis Contracting, Inc., was the responsive and responsible bidder.
Upon evaluation of the project, the use of the Construction Manager at Risk (CMaR) Contract has been identified as the most expedient path to complete this project. The CMaR contracting process includes the following two phases:
Ø Phase One: During this portion of the project, the contractor evaluates the work required, obtains quotes from applicable contractors, and develops the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP).
Ø Phase Two: Following Phase One, a future amendment to CMaR Contract No. 2024-24 will be presented for approval. The future amendment will include services for the construction phase (Phase Two) of the process utilizing the GMP developed in Phase One.
Construction Manager at Risk Contract No. 2024-04 has been reviewed by the City Attorney and is legally correct as to form.
