EXPLANATION OF STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: The renovation of this proposed condo-structured Level 1 purchase will replace an existing lease space to improve the CapMetro end-user experience by moving out of an aging building to provide a pleasant public interface for ticket sales, lost & found services, and improved community engagement in a transit accessible location. This also supports CapMetro employees by providing a better working environment with fewer building-related issues.
BUSINESS CASE: The CapMetro Transit Store is currently located at 209 West 9th Street in Austin’s Central Business District (CBD). The Transit Store is on a month-to-month lease and this renovated 1705 Guadalupe Level 1 space will replace the currently occupied space. This space will primarily be used for the Transit Store but will also provide a long-term Community Engagement space in the CBD.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: This item will be presented and recommended for approval by the Board on April 22, 2024.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: CapMetro is seeking a new Transit Store to improve its ability to service its customers efficiently and effectively without the current sub-par facility conditions that exist in the older building where the Transit Store is located today. The renovation of this owned space on the ground level at 1705 Guadalupe will improve the overall end-user experience in a transit acceptable location at the north end of the Austin business district. This new Transit Store will be in owned space which is preferred over the current leased option.
DBE/SBE PARTICIPATION: A 15% SBE goal was assigned to this project. The Contractor has committed to 22.21% goal.
PROCUREMENT: CapMetro will utilize the BuyBoard cooperative, Contract No. 728-24, held by Jamail and Smith Construction to provide Job Order Contracting Services, for construction of the CapMetro Transit Store at 1705 Guadalupe Street, Austin, Texas.
BuyBoard awarded contracts are made available for use by CapMetro via Title 7, Intergovernmental Relations Chapter 791, Interlocal Cooperation Contracts and The Texas Interlocal Cooperation Act. Purchases made using BuyBoard contracts satisfy otherwise applicable competitive bidding requirements.
Pricing for the construction of the CapMetro Transit Store was determined to be fair and reasonable by the BuyBoard cooperative during its solicitation and award process. Additionally, a cost analysis was completed using a second non-responsive BuyBoard bid. The term of the Contract is ninety (90) days from notice to proceed. The lump sum contract price is as follows with 20% contingency:
