Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a professional services contract for the Office of Construction Management with Star Consultants for architectural services for the design of a renovation for the interior offices at 743 West Third Avenue. This building is a Police Division building, formerly used by SWAT. It is to house Police Substation No. 1, thereby necessitating renovations. Police Substation No. 1 is currently located in a leased facility. The move of this substation to a City-owned building will eliminate rental costs. The main structure is approximately 2,400 square feet with a 900 square foot garage. Services are to include, but are not limited to: a complete architectural design including such things as a break room, a conference room, sergeant's offices, a locker room, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, etc. Other design will include additional HVAC, electrical, and plumbing where necessary.

Requests for Proposals (RFPs) were advertised on the Vendor Services webpage and returned on January 17, 2008. The City received five (5) proposals from the following firms: Bird Houk Collaborative, HKI Associates (MBE), JL Bender, Inc., Mull & Weithman Architects, Inc. and Star Consultants (AS1). A three-person committee evaluated the proposals, consisting of one member each from the Office of Construction Management, the Equal Business Opportunity Office, and Division of Police.

Star Consultants obtained the highest compiled score of the candidate firms.

Emergency action is requested so that the needed design can be completed as soon as possible, thereby allowing Police Substation No. 1 to move from a rented facility, resulting in a cost savings to the City.

Fiscal Impact: The total amount of this contract is $25,000.00. The Division of Police will provide funding through its Capital Improvement Budget.
