ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
A total of sixty-eight (68) requests for qualifications were downloaded from Bidsync.com. Four (4) statements of qualifications were received and opened March 15, 2018. Ramel Company, LLC was selected based on receiving the highest evaluation score. Due to the complexity of constructing Thrive, it is felt to be in the City’s best interest to hire a project management firm that can provide professional personnel trained in overseeing various aspects of construction. Ramel will be responsible for observing onsite work performance to ensure conformity with construction documents, coordinate franchise utilities, review and comment on monthly pay applications, notify City staff of any issues/incidents that may negatively impact the project, coordinate the punch out list with the contractor and City, and collect all end of project documents (manuals, warranties, etc). Ramel will aid the City in its own efforts of oversite to help ensure a successful project. Funding is available in the Thrive capital project.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the agreement as set forth in the caption above; and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
