Background Information:
Fire Station No. 6 is the last fire station to be built from 2017 bond funds. The facility is to be approximately 12,400 square feet and includes corresponding site improvements and paving. The new fire station is to be a 33 feet tall two-story building consisting of approximately 11,000 square feet of finish out first floor and 1,400 square feet of shelled space second floor.
Utilizing the same architect, WestEast Design Group, the City chose to replicate the design of the recently completed new Fire Station No. 2 at the La Cima subdivision with minor revisions to site adapt and account for lessons learned during construction of the previous station.
The scope of work also consists of off-site utility improvements to extend domestic water and sanitary sewer lines to the site. The off-site improvements consist of approximately 950 linear feet of 12-inch domestic water line and 400 linear feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer line.
The estimated project total including alternates and a $170,000 Owner Contingency Allowance is $5,632,858.
This request is for Council to award to the highest ranked contractor based on the total scores and ranking. In accordance with Texas Government Code 2269 and City Purchasing Policy, the City solicited Competitive Sealed Proposals #220-245, for the San Marcos Fire Station No. 6. On December 10, 2020, 11 proposals were received.
Proposals from JSR, Inc, Summit Building & Design, and Trimbuilt Construction, Inc were deemed as non-responsive per the bidding and contract requirements. The remaining eight proposals were evaluated by a City-Staffed evaluation committee including the City’s third-party project manager, Jacobs Project Management Company. The evaluation committee selected Seidel Construction, LLC, located in New Braunfels, TX as the top-ranked contractor based on criteria published in the solicitation to determine the best value to the City of San Marcos.
Criteria consisted of:
• Prior Experience with Projects of Similar, Size, Scope, and Scale - 40 max points
• Safety Record - 5 max points
• Prior Experience of Project Manager and Project Superintendent - 10 max points
• Project Approach and Schedule - 10 max points
