Section 2
The City Commission determines:
1. The City has knowledgeable staff including the Manager of Trails, Open Space and Parks
as project manager, City Attorney, engineering staff, and consultants hired under the
conditions of the Memorandum of Understanding with The Trust for Public Land, who
have the capacity to manage an alternative project delivery contract.
2. The contract will be awarded in a manner consistent with state law and City policies
through publication of a request for qualifications and a request for proposals submitted to
qualified applicants with a final selection to be made on the basis of merit and
qualifications. The process will be conducted in a manner that will not encourage
favoritism or bias nor substantially diminish competition, by conducting the process in an
open and public manner such that all qualified applicants will be eligible for final selection,
and such that the award of the contract will be based on the selected applicant's experience
and expertise.
3. The contract between the City and the Construction Manager/General Contractor will
require all subcontractors to be selected through a competitive bidding process in
compliance with applicable state and local law.
Section 3
The City Commission determines that by using a general contractor/construction manager
(GC/CM), the involvement of such a professional in the design process will contribute to
significant cost savings for construction of the Story Mill Community Park facility. Significant
cost savings that justify an alternative project delivery contract in this case derive from but are not
limited to value engineering, facilitation of donations and in-kind services, construction logistics
planning, bidding, and construction supervision. Use of a GC/CM will expedite the bidding and

award of construction which will allow the facility to be completed at an earlier date. A shorter
duration of construction will result in less disruption of public roads and other facilities
surrounding the Park. Technical complexities involving the coordination of large-scale site work
operations and oversight of in-kind services and donations of materials that meet project
specifications necessitate the use of an alternative delivery project contract.
PASSED, ADOPTED, AND APPROVED by the City Commission of the City of
Bozeman, Montana, at a regular session thereof held on the 27 h day of November, 2017.
