RESOLUTION NO. ____ (2024)
APPROVING AN ALTERNATIVE PURCHASING PROCEDURE TO AWARD A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO STAPLES CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC. FOR THE PUMP SHED
AT MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. COMMUNITY CENTER AND PARK
WHEREAS, San Mateo Municipal Code Section 3.60.070(h)(3) authorizes the City Council to approve alternative purchasing procedures upon a finding that the alternative purchasing procedure is in the best interest of the City; and
WHEREAS, the City approved the Job Order Contracting as a competitive procurement method for construction services by resolution on March 18, 2019, upon findings that the Job Order Contracting process with Gordian is in the best interests of the City; and
WHEREAS, Sourcewell (formerly known as NJPA) has conducted competitive bidding processes to select Gordian, Inc. (Gordian) to implement Job Order Contracting on behalf of their member agencies, including the City; and
WHEREAS, the Job Order Contracting process allows for an umbrella construction contract to cover various and separate job orders during the life of the contract, and is beneficial for renovation, remodeling, or alterations where many small project tasks will arise, but the timing, type, and quantity of work are unknown; and
WHEREAS, the Pump Shed project at Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center and Park is designed and documented to be priced using Gordian’s Unit Price Book; and WHEREAS, Staples Construction Company, Inc., was selected based on their experience and availability to perform construction services using the Gordian’s Unit Price Book.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA, HEREBY FINDS AND RESOLVES that:
1. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, this project is categorically exempt from CEQA as an “existing facility” in that it consists of the renovation of an existing building and involves negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.
2. The Job Order Contracting process is approved to award a construction contract to Staples Construction Company, Inc. and is in the City’s best interest because it offers the best price to the City and allows the City to complete the Pump Shed project at Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center and Park efficiently by eliminating the need to develop project specifications eliminating solicitation of bids through a project-specific competitive bidding process.
