DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize execution of Amendment No. 1 to City Secretary Contract No.
59041, the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) Agreement with Sundt Construction, Inc., establishing the guaranteed maximum price (GMP) in
the amount not to exceed $44,886,140.31 for the construction of the Cromwell Marine Creek Road Widening and Intersection Improvements
project, from Boat Club Road (FM 1220) to Marine Creek Parkway, and to adopt additional appropriation ordinances to provide funding toward
the GMP. The total overall project budget has increased by $21,239,483.92 and is now $58,479,483.92 which includes planning, design, land
acquisition, project administration, construction, inspection, testing, utility relocations, and contingencies. The project scope includes the
construction of a four -lane arterial street from Boat Club Road (FM 1220) to Marine Creek Parkway with signalized intersections at
Bowman Roberts Road and Huffines Boulevard/Bob Hanger Street. The project is being funded through the City's 2018 and 2022 Bond
Programs, Tarrant County 2021 Bond program as well as transportation impact fees.
On December 13, 2022 (M&C 22-1047), the City Council authorized a CMAR Agreement with Sundt Construction, Inc., with a construction phase
fee of 5.75% of the cost of work within a projected project budget of $24,100,000.00 to provide CMAR services for the construction of the project.
The original construction budget was a preliminary engineering estimate of construction costs and was based upon 60% design development and
prior to the CMAR being under contract. The figure did not include construction contingencies, CMAR fees or General Conditions costs. This
Amendment No. 1 will establish the GMP for construction in the amount not to exceed $44,886,140.31. The GMP is inclusive of the Cost of Work
(as defined in the Agreement) and the Construction Phase Fee. Staff evaluated the CMAR's GMP proposal, and negotiated it down to the cost
being presented herein. Staff considers the increased cost of the project reasonable for the full scope of work proposed, and recommends
approval of the GMP.
The GMP consists of ten work categories to complete the project: WC1-Removals and Earthwork, WC2-Underground Water & Waste Water,
WC3-Underground Storm Drainage, WC4-Flatwork, WC5-Traffic Control, WC6-Concrete Paving, WC7-Illumination and Traffic Signals, WC8-
Erosion Control and Sodding, WC9-Striping and WC10-Structures.
On November 9 and November 16, 2023, Sundt advertised the work categories seeking best value and low bid proposals in the Fort Worth Star -
Telegram, as well as employed enhanced measures to alert the North Texas contracting community of this bidding opportunity. Sundt conducted a
pre -construction conference on November 16, 2023.
On December 5, 2023 proposals with bids were received and evaluated by Sundt based on published factors such as ability to start and complete
the project within the project schedule, construction techniques, ability to perform the work and other specific criteria including but not limited to the
following:
- Cost
• Safety and accidents rates
• Schedule and work planning
• Financial strength
• Business diversity ordinance compliance
• Qualifications, experience, and references
Contractors have been selected by Sundt by virtue of being the lowest bid, or those representing the best value to the project and the City, where
work packages were procured in that selection format. Staff has reviewed the recommendations and concurs with the results of the procurement.
Where Sundt Construction, Inc. is the recommended contractor for certain work categories (self -performance), the Director of Transportation and
Public Works has determined that Sundt Construction, Inc. provides the best value for the City, as recommended by staff.
During the preconstruction phase, the team's evaluation included an analysis of the construction schedule to ensure an efficient timeline was being
projected by Sundt. The preconstruction services effort yielded a combined cost savings to the City of over $2,500,000.00 prior to the project's
components being put out for bids.

MWBE OFFICE — The M/WBE Office has determined that Sundt Construction, Inc. is in compliance with the City's BDE Ordinance by committing
to 9% MBE participation for the Construction Phase Services of this CMAR project. The City's MBE goal on the construction phase services of
this CMAR project is 6%.
The additional appropriations for this project were not included in the Fiscal Years (FY) 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Plan because the greater
magnitude GMP was not known until December2023, after bids and proposals were received and evaluated by the CMAR. The actions in this
M&C will amend the FY 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program as approved in connection with Ordinance 26453-09-2023.
This project is included in the 2022 Bond Program. The City's Extendable Commercial Paper (ECP) (M&C 22-0607; Ordinance 25675-08-2022)
provides liquidity to support the appropriation. Available resources will be used to actually make any interim progress payments until debt is
issued. Once debt associated with a project is sold, debt proceeds will reimburse the interim financing source in accordance with the statement
expressing official Intent to Reimburse that was adopted as part of the ordinance canvassing the bond election (Ordinance 25515-05-2022).
The project is in COUNCIL DISTRICTS 2 and 7.
FISCAL INF RMATION 1 CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Authorized, Not Appropriated project and Street
Construction/Recon/Rehab programmable project within the 2018 Bond Program Fund and upon approval of the above recommendations and
adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the 2018 Bond Program Fund for the Cromwell - Marine
Creek project to support the above recommendations and execution of the amendment to the contract. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the
Transportation & Public Works Department has the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
