JANUARY 16, 2024 CITY COUNCIL MEETING, CONTRACT AWARD TO REYES CONSTRUCTION:
At the January 16, 2024 City Council Meeting, the City recently awarded a contract to Reyes Construction to provide Design-Build (Progressive) Services for Hermosillo Park Rehabilitation, Stormwater Capture and Infiltration Project (City Project Nos. 7607, 7359) as follows:
Background:
…
The contract execution for the PROJECT will consist of a cost plus fee agreement to provide for Phase 1 design development up to 65% design, and a subsequent final design and construction agreement with a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposal from RCI.
At this time, RCI submitted a cost proposal of $2,660,668 for the Phase 1 design of the project to provide 65% design to support a GMP for final design and construction of the PROJECT.
Proposition 68 grant fund requirement for project completion by end of 2026 constrains the project schedule requiring the acceleration of grading design and completion of project site grading. To accommodate the grading schedule acceleration, approval of $4,730,637 budget for Phase 2 of the project is requested in conjunction with the approval of the Design-Build contract award.
Fiscal Impact:
Phase 1 of this Design-Build contract includes design development up to 65% design and development of a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposal for construction. Phase 2 includes completion of design and site grading. The City has available grant proceeds of Measure W and Proposition 68 monies for the implementation of these two Hermosillo Park Projects.
The City has been approved $20,000,000 under Measure W for the implementation of Project No. 7607 - STORMWATER CAPTURE AND INFILTRATION PROJECT of which $2,000,000 has been authorized for expenditure at this time to fund the procurement of design services. Also, the City has been approved $8,500,000 under Proposition 68 funds and has been authorized the full approved amount for the implementation of Project No. 7359 - HERMOSILLO PARK REHABILITATION:
