EXPLANATION OF STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: This agenda item aligns with developing new administrative facilities in order to support the needs and growth of the agency.
BUSINESS CASE: In 2023, Capital Metro acquired a new building at 3100 E. 5th Street planned as the agency’s new administrative headquarters. This facility will accommodate the agency’s current space needs plus space forecast for future growth in support of the agency’s role as a regional transit leader for the community. This construction project allows agency staff to move into a CapMetro owned facility thereby foregoing the need to lease office space elsewhere. The administrative facility will include sustainability features, provide for collaboration space among departments, and provide enhanced aesthetics thereby retaining and attracting a highly skilled workforce. The project includes ADA upgrades promoting accessibility for both employees and visitors. Funding for this action is in the proposed FY2025 Capital Budget.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: This item will be presented to the full board on September 23, 2024.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In 2023, Capital Metro acquired a new building at 3100 E. 5th Street planned as the agency’s new administrative headquarters. The existing building is primarily “core & shell” condition which requires build-out for the offices, conference rooms, work areas, breakrooms, walls, ceilings, lighting, HVAC, finishes, flooring, etc. This resolution is for the approval of the construction contract necessary to complete this build-out for the 20,250 square foot 3rd Floor (“Phase 1”); other floors will be managed as a future, separate construction contract. This construction contract also includes miscellaneous exterior improvements such as safety upgrades for site lighting, security cameras, security fencing; plus ADA upgrades for code compliance.
DBE/SBE PARTICIPATION: A 7% SBE goal was placed on the solicitation. The awarded vendor has committed to 10.69% SBE participation and will be tracked during the term of the contract.
PROCUREMENT: This procurement was conducted in accordance with the Competitive Sealed Proposal Method in Texas Government Code Title 10, Subtitle F, Chapter 2269, Subchapter D. On July 5, 2024, a Request for Proposal was issued and formally advertised. Six (6) proposals were received by the closing date of August 8, 2024. All six (6) proposals were evaluated, rated, and ranked based on the following technical evaluation criteria: (1) the offeror’s demonstrated understanding of the project undertaking as demonstrated by the proposed work plan, project challenges/risks, innovative solutions, and the technical approach to complete the work; (2) qualifications, experience, and capabilities of the proposed project personnel, identification of self-performed trades, and key subcontractors, on projects of a similar size, scope, complexity and nature, including the IT/Security vendors associated with the various Pricing Options; (3) commitment, ability, knowledge to complete the project within the specified timeframe, as demonstrated by a preliminary schedule; and (4) the offeror’s demonstrated past performance. Based on the weighted evaluation criteria, the proposal from Swinerton Builders is determined to represent the best value to the Authority, price and other factors considered. The total contract award amount is $5,115,837.00, plus $767,375.00 representing 15% contingency, for a total amount not to exceed $5,883,212.00.
