S. Byrne, Ltd. for Pricing, Value-Engineering and Constructability Review Services Associated with the Design of a New Downtown Parking Garage RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing appropriations in the Culture and Tourism Fund by $25,000, and decreasing the unreserved, undesignated fund balance by the same amount; 2. Authorize the transfer of $25,000 from the Culture and Tourism Fund to the Specially Funded Capital Projects Fund; 3.

Authorize a pre-construction services agreement with Thos. S. Byrne Ltd. in the amount of $25,000 for pricing, value-engineering and constructability review services throughout the design phase of the new downtown parking garage. DISCUSSION: On October 13, 2005, a Request for Proposals was issued for a Construction Manager At Risk (CMAR) firm to participate in the design process and lead the construction process for the construction of a new downtown City parking garage. Four CMAR firms submitted proposals. A City staff selection panel evaluated the proposal packages, interviewed all four firms and conducted reference checks. The selection process resulted in the identification of Thos. S. Byrne Ltd. as the best-qualified CMAR firm. During the design phase, Thos S. Byrne Ltd. will work with the design team and other stakeholders to develop cost estimates, make value-engineering suggestions and review the design from a constructability standpoint. The fee for Thos. S.Byrne Ltd. for these services is $25,000. Funding for this agreement will come from the Hotel/Motel Occupancy Tax and DFW Airport Rental Car tax. At the conclusion of the design phase, Thos. S. Byrne Ltd. will formally bid out the construction of the garage and develop a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the construction of the garage. Upon establishment of an agreed upon GMP, City staff intends to recommend to the City Council that Thos. S. Byrne Ltd. be engaged in a construction contract in the amount of the GMP. Thos. S. Byrne Ltd. has committed to 35% overall M/WBE participation on the Parking Garage project and is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance. This M&C reflects the first phase of the CMAR process for this project.
