RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Administrator, or designee, to enter into Stipend Agreements with Hensel Phelps Construction Company and Swinerton Builders to compensate the firm or firms $100,000 for ownership of bid documents if the firm is not awarded the design-build contract for the County’s Administration and Emergency Operation Center building replacement projects.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Up to $200,000 should the County not accept proposals from either firm. The end result is more likely a $100,000 payment to one firm. 100% General fund.

BACKGROUND:

On September 26, 2017, the Board received a report outlining the current design status of the new administration building and emergency operations center and Sheriff's Administration building projects. As part of that report, the County Administrator's Office discussed the use of stipends paid to unsuccessful bidders to encourage more precise and complete bid packages from firms submitting design-build proposals for the projects. Today's action authorizes the County to enter into those agreements with two firms, Hensel Phelps Construction Company and Swinerton Builders.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The stipend agreements will not be approved by the Board.
