DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize execution of a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) contract
with Steele & Freeman, Inc. for construction services and to allocate and appropriate additional funding for the new Fire Station 26.
Steele & Freeman, Inc. has performed preconstruction phase services for a fee of $7,500 (CSC 60459) and has proposed to perform construction
phase services for a fee of 3.0%, which fee is incorporated into the project's guaranteed maximum price (GMP) in the amount of $9,613,329.00.
Staff finds the proposed fee fair and reasonable. The GMP includes the Base Proposal ($9,417,226.00), Owner's construction contingency
allowance ($196,103.00) and no alternatives. The total anticipated project cost is $12,389,032.00, which includes the CMAR's pre -construction
phase services, other design costs, Owner's project contingency, materials testing and special inspections and land acquisition.
The 2018 Bond Program allocated $5,341,000,00 for the design and construction of the new Fire Station 26. This project was delayed due to two
changes in location due to unfavorable site conditions. On January 10,2023, M&C 23-0031 approved the purchase of4915 South Drive West.
Once the location was known the Property Management Department moved forward with the single -story design proto-type forthis site.
Design of the project was performed by RPGA Design Group, Inc. (CSC 59228, M&C 23-0164).
Construction documents were completed and submitted for advertisement in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on August 17, and August 24, 2023.
On September 7, 2023, the City received eight proposals from:
• Byme Construction Services
• Crossland Construction company, Inc.
• EMJ Construction, LLC
• McGough Construction, LLC
• Muckleroy & Falls
• Ridgemont
• RJM Contractors Inc.
• Steele & Freeman, Inc.
The proposals were evaluated by members of the selection team comprised of representatives of the Fire Department, Property Management
Department, and Office of Business Diversity. The selection team reviewed the proposal against published criteria, including cost of services,
references and CMAR experience, similar project types and MBE commitment and plan. The top three firms were selected for interviews.
