Council approves up to $5 million construction manager–general contractor contract for new Fleet Services building; vehicle purchases authorized

The Nampa City Council voted Sept. 15 to authorize a construction manager/general contractor contract with Faber Construction for phase‑1 design development and phase‑2 construction services for a new Fleet Services building, in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000. The item was noted to be consistent with the FY25 budget and approved by the city attorney; the contract authorization covers the base bid and preconstruction services, with ad alternates to be brought back to council for later approval.

Council members asked whether the listed ad alternates (approximately $1 million total) would be selected under the contract; staff said the present authorization covers base bid (~$3.8M) and $200,000 in preconstruction work (roughly $4.0M total), and that the ad alternates would be returned to council for selection. Staff also noted potential additional impact fees from the fire district that could modestly increase available budget for add‑alternate work and that fuel station work likely would be procured separately.

Separately, the council authorized Fleet Services to generate purchase orders effective Oct. 1, 2025 to vendors and manufacturers for vehicles and equipment included in the FY26 capital budget (excluding golf vehicles) for an estimated total of $3,587,624.

Both measures passed by roll call vote. Staff said more detail on ad alternates and potential separate procurement for the fuel station will return to council for future action.
