FOR THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE TURNKEY CITY HALL AND FIRE STATION 44 EMERGENCY GENERATORS INSTALL PROJECT NO. BG1302; AND MAKING FINDINGS IN SUPPORT 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 May 12, 2014 the City Council evaluated the comparative advantages of the traditional design, bid, and build process of construction and the design-build process for the design and construction of the Turnkey City Hall and Fire Station 44 Emergency Generator Install Project No. BG1302, ("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 Turnkey City Hall and Fire Station.44.,E-Mg'rgency Generator Install Project No. BG1302 dated May 12, 2014•. betweeh. tiie.�City and to Fakouri Electrical Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $464,900'(the"Agreement"). SECTION 4. The Council hereby authorizes and directs the City Manager to execute the Agreement.
