ACTION PROPOSED:

Award Bid and Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Contract with L.J. Design & Construction, LLC for the Construction of Twin Creeks Civic Space Renovation in the Amount of $437,757.




BACKGROUND

The Twin Creeks Civic Space property, located just south of Pinstack, was conveyed to the city through a facilities agreement by the three adjacent landowners in 2016. Per this agreement, the city will develop the property as civic space/parkland to include items such as trail, site furniture, lighting, and a shelter; and the three land owners will continue to pay the city an annual maintenance fee.

 

Funding, Bidding for Construction

 

The Purchasing Division received six (6) responses to Bid # 2019-5-52 on July 11, 2019. The City of Allen is recommending an award to L.J. Design & Construction, LLC for the Twin Creeks Civic Space Renovation.  Total Amount of contract is identified in the amount of $437,756.95. This includes the base bid and alternate bid with the removal of the 16'x16' trellis ($45,106.56).  LJ Design is not the lowest bid, but they are the lowest, most responsive bidder meeting our scope and project timeline. Another vendor came in as low bid, but performance concerns on a current project have prevented an award for this project.  The second low bidder submitted a much longer project timeline of 120 days.  The calculation of days and the overall evaluation has resulted in a recommendation for L.J. Design as the most qualified bidder who met all of the specifications for this project within an appropriate timeline.
