DISCUSSION On March 3 2005 a Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued for a CMAR firm to participate in the design process and lead the construction process for the project to renovate the 2nd floor of the Zipper Building to create office space for City staff from the IT Solutions and Finance Departments. Five CMAR firms submitted proposals A City staff selection panel evaluated the proposal packages. City staff also conducted reference checks as a part of the selection process. The evaluation process resulted in Coronado Builders being ranked number one and AUI Contractors L.P being ranked number two Based on this ranking staff and the design team for the project began working with Coronado to develop a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the project.
