RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Authorize the execution of a contract with Jamail Construction Company, Inc. for construction services for minor construction and renovation projects. Prices will be based on an existing Texas Local Government Cooperative, BuyBoard contract as follows: a) 18% discount off of R. S. Means Construction Pricing Guide for normal hours; and b) 15% discount off of R. S. Means Construction Pricing Guide for other than normal hours. 2. Authorize the contract to begin January 6, 2004, and expire September 30, 2004, with options to renew for four additional one-year periods; and 3. Authorize the maximum value of any individual purchase order to be $200,000. The aggregate amount of purchase orders in an individual year will not exceed $1,000,000 without authorization from the City Council. A Mayor and Council Communication will be required for any purchase order exceeding $25,000. DISCUSSION: On February 18, 2003 (Informal Report No. 8465), the City Council was briefed on the anticipated use of Job Order Contracting to deliver minor construction and renovation tasks. Under this delivery method, a single contractor is engaged to deliver small (under $200,000) projects. The costs for each small project are calculated using a unit cost estimating guide such as published by R. S. Means Construction Pricing Guide. The contractor is selected by a best-value method based on qualifications and demonstrated performance as well as the discount offered on the unit cost estimating guide. The Texas Local Government Cooperative was created to increase the purchasing power of government entities and to simplify purchasing by using an electronic purchasing system, called the BuyBoard. The items listed on the BuyBoard have been competitively bid and awarded under a best-value method by the Cooperative or by a member of the Cooperative. By selecting a vendor from the BuyBoard, the City has satisfied the competitive bidding requirements and is assured of a competitive price for the work or item purchased. Jamail Construction Company, Inc. was selected for listing on the BuyBoard by a best-value selection. The City of Fort Worth, as a member of the BuyBoard, has access to the contract. Logname: 20JAMAIL2 Page 1 of 2 Several advantages accrue from using Job Order Contracting: a) The procurement time is reduced since the project no longer has to be publicly advertised for competitive bidding; and b) The design effort is greatly reduced on smaller projects, since the details of the scope need only be sufficient to satisfy the needs of the owner and contractor, rather than all potential contractors; and c) The scope of the project can be adjusted to meet budget objectives prior to issuance of the purchase order; and d) The purchase order is adjusted for scope changes and unforeseen site conditions using the same price guide rather than by negotiation; and e) The contractor subcontracts the majority of the work, thus providing additional opportunities for minority general contractors. The contractor will report the status of MWBE participation on projects issued each month. The Trans- portation and Public Works Department, Facilities Management Division, will manage work for other departments. All purchase orders will be fulfilled by funds from the requesting department. M/WBE — Jamail Construction Company, Inc. is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 25% M/WBE participation. The City's goal on this project is 25%. RENEWAL OPTIONS — This agreement may be renewed for up to four successive one-year terms at the City's option. This action does not require specific City Council approval, provided the City Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligation during the renewal term. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Finance Director certifies that funds are available in the operating budgets and current capital budgets, as appropriated, of various funds. All expenditures against this contract will be reviewed for availability of funds prior to release on a project-by-project basis.
