PROJECT NO. ST1408; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT
• II THEREOF
THE SEAL BEACH CITY COUNCIL DOES HEREBY RESOLVE:
SECTION 1. The Charter of the City of Seal Beach authorizes the City to enter
into a contract for both the design and construction of a project if the City Council
finds that use of the design-build ,process on a project will accomplish one or
more of the following objectives:: -reduction of project costs; expediting project
completion; or provision of design features not achievable through the design,
bid, and build process.
•
•
SECTION 2. At a public meeting.on April 14, _2014, the City Council evaluated
the comparative advantages of the traditional design, bid, and build process of
construction and the design-build process fopthe design and construction of the
Traffic Management Center and Intelligent Transportation Systems Upgrades
- Turnkey Project No. ST1408, ("Project"). Based on its evaluation, the City
Council hereby finds as follows:
A. Use of the design-build process for the Project will reduce costs
because it will allow some materials to be ordered during the design phase,
which will allow the costs of materials to be locked in at an earlier date and avoid
inflation due to otherwise long lead times; reduce the need for change orders
since design and construction will be under one contract; and reduce risk to the
City by putting accountability for the Project solely on the contractor.
B. Use of the design-build process for the Project will expedite
completion of the Project because it will allow a single contractor to provide
design,, engineering and construction services, which will, among other
advantages, allow necessary appurtenances to be ordered and site demolition to
start during the design phase; eliminate the bidding period otherwise required;
and simplify staff oversight.
SECTION 3. The Council hereby approves that Public Works Agreement for
Design and Construction of Traffic Management Center and Intelligent
Transportation Systems Upgrades Turnkey Project No. ST1408 dated April 14,
2014 between the City and to Flatiron Electric Group, Inc. in the amount of
$660,109 (the "Agreement").
SECTION 4. The Council hereby authorizes and directs the City Manager to
execute the Agreement.
