ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. KEY INTENDED OUTCOMES SUPPORTED To ensure well- maintained facilities; and To ensure well- maintained infrastructure. ANALYSIS Based on the results of the City's JOC program coupled with the high volume of anticipated construction projects, the City issued on March 24, 2009, six (6) separate Invitations to Bid (ITB) for the various categories of construction - related work: • ITB 22 -08/09 — Vertical • ITB 23 -08/09 — Horizontal • ITB 24 -08/09 — Electrical • ITB 25 -08/09 — Mechanical • ITB 26 -08/09 — Waterproofing /Painting • ITB 27 -08/09 — Roofing On April 24, 2009, the City received sixty -two (62) bids overall by forty -eight (48) contractors. A Technical Review Panel convened and reviewed all bids received and participated in interviewing twenty -four (24) shortlisted contractors, who were represented by their respective project managers, site superintendents, and cost estimators. At its July 15, 2009 meeting, the Mayor and City Commission awarded Job Order Contract No. 22- 08/09, for vertical construction projects, to the following contractors: 1. BDI Construction 2. Gerrits Construction 3. Harbour Construction 4. Matrix Construction JOC Contract Assignment October 19, 2011 Page 2 of 3 5. Team Contracting On August 24, 2011, Gerrits Construction subsequently requested their JOC Contract be assigned to Coastland Construction, Inc., see attachment A. The City Attorney's Office opined that pursuant to Section 18.1 of Gerrits' JOC Contract, assignment of Contract requires the written consent of the Mayor and City Commission. , Therefore, the City Manager must recommend for or against the assignment of contract. ADMINISTRATION'S DUE DILLIGENCE On August 30, 2011, the City's Public Works Director, CIP Director, and Procurement Director interviewed Coastland's key personnel — Project Manager, Site Superintendents and Cost Estimators, and they all agreed to recommend the assignment of contract based on Coastland's construction experience and licenses /certifications; Coastland's understanding of how the JOC process works; Coastland's track record of completing projects on time and within budget; Coastland's performance evaluation surveys completed by their clients; Coastland's understanding of the JOC contract's terms, conditions, and adjustment factors; Coastland's current and projected workload; and their knowledge, skills and abilities relative to construction projects. On September 23, 2011, in an effort to further verify the qualifications of this contractor, CIP staff conducted a comprehensive second interview with Coastland's president, Alejandro Rodriguez. The second interview focused on identifying and keeping consistent with the City's due diligence of determining the contractor's overall qualifications to conduct a typical construction job and understanding the contractor's process under a JOC. - The contractor displayed a comprehensive approach to starting a project by having their project managers and superintendents pull their own permits. This is the preferred approach over retaining an on site expeditor, because when walking drawings through plans review, a contractor's familiarity with the drawings and project allows him to answer questions that an expeditor may not know. - The contractor utilizes Construction Management software (Primavera) to track a project's progress and submittals. - During the course of the job, the contractor constantly updates the Construction Documents to ensure that they reflect as -built conditions from start to end. This facilitates the production of As- Builts at completion of the job. - Furthermore, the contactor was asked to provide Certificates of Occupancy for completed projects as well as a close out manual from a previous job, demonstrating their knowledge of close out procedures. - Coastland currently holds a GC license, license number CGCO57347 and roofing license, license number CCCO57204 both since 1994. - Coastland has a bonding capacity of $8 million which exceeds the required $2 million under JOC vertical contract. - Coastland has been in business for 10 years. - To date, Coastland's largest project in terms of scope and dollar value is the Sunshine Lakes Apartment Expansion Project in Coral Gables completed 4 months early under an original 18 month duration. The budget for the job was $7,643,000.00 and the project was completed for $7,271,666.00.
