Coffey Park and Fountaingrove

thousands of truck trips over residential
streets.
• Resulting in premature asphalt failure on
more than 33 miles of City streets.

3 BACKGROUND
• Staff applied for federal Community
Development Block Grant – Mitigation and
Disaster Relief (CDBG-MIT) and (CDBG-DR).
• CDBG-DR funds require use on a “shovel
ready” project.
• Design-Build process will expediate the
expenditure of grant funds by reducing the
project delivery schedule.
4 ANALYSIS
• A design-build contract expedites project
delivery by overlapping the design and
construction phases, can reduce project
costs, and minimize disputes between
designer and contractor.
• A selection committee will review proposals
and make a recommendation to City Council
to award the contract to the Design-Build
Entity providing the best value.
5 RECOMMENDATION
• It is recommended by the Transportation
and Public Works Department that the
Council, by motion, authorize issuance of a
Request for Proposals for the Design-Build
