DISCUSSION
The 1998 bond program allocated $1 800 000 to construct and equip a fire station in the Alliance
Corridor Construction on this station was originally programmed for the latter part of the bond program
implementation timeframe Hillwood Development Corporation agreed to donate a site for the new fire
station Due to complications in identifying the specific site for the station the design process did not
formally begin until May 2004 Also the design process for this project was longer than usual due to the
fact that this design wilt serve as a proto-type design for future fire stations
Also included in the project, per the amended Land Dedication Agreement with Hillwood Development
Corp are funds transferred from the Capital Projects Reserve Fund (M&C G 14363) for widening (addition
of two lanes) of the portion of Westport Parkway bordering the Fire Station 38 site The recommended
Prime Construction Company contract includes the cost of the Westport Parkway road-widening project.
The solicitation for the construction project was advertised on June 30 and July 7 2005 The following
bids were received

Gilbert/May Inc. d/b/a Phillips/May Corp $2,768 000 00
Basic Industries, Inc failed to submit M/WBE participation information in the required timeframe and was
declared non-responsive Each of the firms submitting the required follow-up information were ranked
based on price reputation and experience Prime Construction was determined to be the best value
offeror
After selection of Prime Construction Company as the best value offeror City staff conducted negotiations
with Prime on the final contract price A contract amount of $2,011 000 was ultimately agreed upon
Based on a construction contract amount of $2 011 000 this project is projected to come in over
budget. The projected overage can be attributed primarily to the fact that construction inflation in the past
18 months has been 3 5 times the average inflation rate for the preceding 20 years To address the
funding gap monies from the Special Assessment Fund will be used to supplement the 1998 bond funds.
The total cost associated with this project is expected to be
Item Cost
Construction $2,011 000 00
Design $167 750 00
Furniture/Fixtures/Equipment $60 000 00
Staff & Miscellaneous Charges $141 000 00
Contingency $100.000.00
Total $2,479,750.00
