Staff recommends Council approve a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) contract to Dick Anderson Construction for pre-construction services not to exceed $18,750, and construction services for cost plus 4.25% mark up and 4.25% change order mark up.

On February 28, 2022, the City Council approved resolution 22-11026 authorizing City Staff to utilize an alternative project delivery method for the New City Hall remodel project. The Facilities Division solicited a Request for Proposals and received 4 proposals. A selection committee narrowed down the respondents to their top two by scoring the proposals in the following categories, per the RFP:

- Firm History & Experience
- Financial Health
- Key Project Staff
- Approach to the Project

The top two firms were invited to interview in person with City Staff. The RFP committee selected Dick Anderson as their top choice based on their presentation and responses to interview questions. 

Upon approval of the proposed contract, Dick Anderson will work with City Staff and the design team to provide pre-construction services, which includes multiple rounds of cost estimating for budgeting purposes, contractibility design review, and value engineering suggestions during the design phase. The advantage to this type of delivery method is the ability to design for the budget and cost-savings from the beginning of the project instead of finishing the plans, bidding it, and then having to redesign or eliminate scope if the bids come in over budget.

After the design is completed, Dick Anderson and the City will negotiate a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the construction of the project. Dick Anderson will then serve as the General Contractor and manage the construction of the project. The GMP amendment will be approved by Council at a future meeting.

City Council may:

• Approve; or,
• Not Approve

The costs for pre-construction services will be paid by Facilities out of City Hall funds. Construction services will be funded by the General Fund and department funds.
