It is recommended that the City Council

Fund
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the CO
Special Projects Fund by $700 000 and

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. As communicated to Council on October 18 2005
(Informal Report 8720) shortly before reaching agreement on a GMP for the project with Coronado it was
learned that Coronado Builders would not be able to acquire the Performance and Payment bond required
for the project. Staff terminated negotiations with Coronado and began working with AUI Staff and AUI
have agreed upon a GMP of $1 330,244 for the project: The GMP is based upon the sub-contractor bids
received by AUI plus the CMAR mark-ups stated in AUI's initial proposal.
In addition to the construction costs, the projected overall budget for this project includes the following

Building Purchase $5,200 000 00
