WHEREAS, the City of Bozeman is considering construction of a new facility for the City's criminal justice functions and is in need of a general contractor/construction manager to provide preconstruction and construction services; and WHEREAS, Sec. 18-2-502, MCA, authorizes a local governing body, upon adoption of a resolution to use an alternative project delivery contract upon showing specific statutory criteria have been met; and WHEREAS, the City Commission determines the use of a general contractor/construction manager for preconstruction and construction services is in the best interest of the City. NOW, THEREOFRE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Commission of the City of Bozeman, Montana: Section 1 The Bozeman City Commission hereby authorizes the use of an alternative delivery project contract for a general contractor/construction manager for services related to design and construction of a facility for the City's criminal justice functions. Section 2 The City Commission determines: 1. The City has knowledgeable staff including the Assistant City Manager as project manager, City Attorney, and facilities superintendent and engineering staff, and its Page 1 of 3 Resolution 4519, Authorize Use of Alternative Project Delivery Contract for General Contractor Construction Manager for Bozeman Community Justice Center consultants, including Think One Architects, 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 upon 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 such a manner that only qualified contractors will be eligible, and that the award of the contract will be based on experience and expertise of the applicants. 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, the involvement of such a professional in the design process will contribute to significant cost savings for construction of the criminal justice facility. Significant cost savings that justify an alternative project delivery contract in this case derive from but are not limited to value engineering, building systems analysis, life cycle analysis, and construction planning. In addition, the City Commission determines the project presents significant technical complexities that necessitate the use of a construction manager/general contractor because of the unique nature of designing and constructing law enforcement and court facilities due to security measures, technological requirements, the need to allow for future expansion of the facility, and the unique nature of the public's use of the facility. PASSED AND APPROVED by the City Commission of the City of Bozeman, Montana, at a regular session thereof held on the 24th day of March, 2014.
