The contract duration for this project is 180 calendar days.  Clark Condon Associates, Inc. is the design consultant for the project. 

PROPOSALS:  On January 29 and February 5, 2016, GSD advertised a Request for Competitive Sealed Proposals (CSP) for construction services for the Burnett Bayland Skatepark.  The CSP contained selection criteria that ranked respondents on experience, general contractor and skatepark sub-contractor team members, and contractor responsibility. The Statements of Qualifications were due on February 18, 2016 and four firms responded.  GSD evaluated the respondents and three of the four firms received sufficient points and were requested to submit proposals. Two of the three selected firms submitted proposals. P^2MG submitted the lowest proposal and offers the best value for the City based on the advertised criteria.

The two proposers are ranked as follows:

Proposer:

1.            P^2MG, LLC dba P2MG, LLC

2.       Millis Development and Construction, Inc.

AWARD: It is recommended that City Council award the construction contract to P^2MG and appropriate funds for the project, including an additional appropriation of $29,396.00 for engineering and materials testing services to All-Terra Engineering, Inc.

FUNDING SUMMARY:   

   PAY OR PLAY PROGRAM:  The proposed contract requires compliance with the City’s “Pay or Play” Ordinance regarding health benefits for employees of City contractors.  In this case, the contractor provides benefits to eligible employees in compliance with City policy.

   HIRE HOUSTON FIRST: The proposed contract requires compliance with the City’s “Hire Houston First” (HHF) Ordinance that promotes economic opportunity for Houston businesses and supports job creation. In this case, P^2MG is a designated HHF company, but they were the successful awardee without application of the HHF preference.
