PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The Rose Park Pool Improvements project was funded for $300,000 as part of the Park District #1. This project will replace the existing aging water slide flumes with new enhanced flumes. Interstate Engineering of Billings was retained as the Engineering Consultant for this project for a fee of $30,000.00. The Parks and Recreation Department in conjunction with Interstate Engineering, utilized an Alternative Delivery Method to select the contractor. Interested parties submitted a Contractor Qualification Questionnaire (CQQ). All teams meeting the qualification criteria as specified in the request for qualifications were provided a request for proposals. The responses were evaluated by a committee using a point valuation listed in the CQQ. Selected teams were interviewed by the selection committee utilizing a standard set of questions and rating criteria. Two firms were interviewed and High Tech Construction Co. Inc. of Billings was the selected contractor for the project.
The construction period will be for 115 days beginning on or about February 1st. High Tech Construction Inc. submitted a Guaranteed Maximum Price for the Base Bid of a maximum not to exceed $270,000.00. An Additive Alternate for a third speed slide with a maximum not to exceed $87,650.00 was also submitted. See Attachment A, Bidder's Proposal. The Additive Alternate price may be exercised up to March 15, 2013 in order for it to be installed by the May 24, 2013 contract deadline and to be ready for the swimming season. The Parks and Recreation Department is actively seeking additional funding in order to exercise the Additive Alternate option. The Contract for this project is available for review in the City Clerks Office.
