Prepared By: Keith Opalewski,Parking Manager
SUBJECT: SOLICITATION OF CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES -
MARSH STREET PARKING GARAGE
CAO RECOMMENDATION
1) Authorize staff.to interview and negotiate for construction management services with
selected firms based upon Statements of Qualifications.

the Engineer's estimate of$ 150,000.
DISCUSSION
In August of 1999, the City Council approved the use permit for the Marsh Street Garage
expansion. Subsequent approval was granted in October 1999 for the final land purchase
(Parable Bookstore parking lot parcel)needed to allow final design of the project. These last two
Council actions resolved all final garage design issues. To date, the preliminary plans and
specifications have been completed and currently are in the plan check phase. Final plan check is
expected to be completed by late January 2000. Formal construction documents are expected to
come before the Council by early February 2000. Considering this schedule, a construction
manager needs to be chosen as soon as possible in order to be part of the construction bid
process.
In order to expedite the selection process, staff is recommending to award a contract via
interviews based upon Statements of Qualifications from qualified construction management
firms. This process will insure that a construction manager is on-board prior to the solicitation of
construction bids in early March.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Marsh Street Garage expansion project currently has an approved budget of$200,000 for
construction management. This includes funding for additional services from the design
architect during the construction phase as well as a contract construction manager for the project.
The current design contract will be renegotiated at a later date. The engineer's estimate for the
construction manager phase is$ 150,000.
