Title
Project Status Update Regarding the Historic Pima County Courthouse and Final Project Contracts
Staff recommends the following:
1. Make a finding that, because of the unavoidable and unexpected delays, and the necessity of completing the project in order to meet County contractual obligations, the competitive process proposed by staff is what is practicable under the circumstances. Using any alternative process would delay the project by 30 to 180 days. Since such a delay is not desirable, it is impractical, unnecessary and contrary to the public interest to comply with normal Title 34 procurement procedures. If required to comply, the County expects responses from the same contractors we are contemplating using in the abbreviated process.
2. Authorize the Procurement Director to proceed with a limited competition Solicitation for Qualifications procurement process to select a Construction-Manager-at-Risk contractor to complete this final phase of construction.
3. Authorize the Procurement Director to execute the resulting Construction-Manager-at-Risk contract and all modifications, including Guaranteed Maximum Price packages, provided that the not-to-exceed amount of the contract does not exceed $5.9 million and that the contract expiration date does not exceed May 31, 2020, which allows for all contract close-out activities and final submittals.
4. Authorize the Procurement Director to execute an amendment to the Kittle contract, decreasing the scope of work, and terminating the contract, with payment only for work already done which will result in a deductive change order of approximately $1.1 million.
