The bids were ranked according to the overall value to the City including the bid amount, contractor
reputation and contractors experience Songer Construction Inc. was determined to have submitted the
proposal providing the best value to the City
The construction contract for relocation/construction of Fire Station No 8 will be funded in part from 2004
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funds and in part from previously approved Certificates of
Obligation Also included in the contract are costs for a geothermal HVAC system ($34 000) a fuel
dispensing system ($21 000) and a vehicle exhaust system ($70 000) which will be funded by the
Department of Environmental Management.
The project budget includes revenues projected from the TxDOT reimbursements however these
revenues are not currently available and will be reimbursed during the construction of the station Phase II
of the West Rosedale street project (from Main Street to Forest Park Boulevard) is currently
underway Thus it is necessary to begin construction of the new fire station at this time so .that the new
fire station is operational by the time that the existing fire station is demolished
In order to proceed with the project, it is proposed to fund the portion for which TxDOT reimbursements are
anticipated by using funds in the Fire proposition of the 2004 CIP Due to a shift in funding strategy for the
Fire Department's compressed air foam system for fire apparatus, Council was advised earlier that
$1 000 000 would eventually be available for use on other projects. Use of these funds for Fire Station No
8 would only be in the interim until TxDOT reimbursements are received Once TxDOT reimbursement
revenues are realized the borrowed funds will be reapplied to and made available in the Fire
Improvements Fund from the 2004 CIP and City staff will recommend an appropriate use for these funds
later as the bond program progresses. Should the anticipated revenue for Fire Station No 8 not be
realized City staff will recommend that a portion of the 2004 bond funds originally allocated for the
compressed air foam system installation be reprogrammed to the Fire Station # 8 construction project.
The project budget also includes $345 000 for construction costs such as utility connection and impact
fees, materials testing inspections project and construction management and change order
contingencies
Songer Construction Inc. is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to 35% MMBE
participation The City's goal on this project is 35%
This property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9
