City recommends Fite Building Company as construction manager for Sportsplex project
Summary
Finance staff recommended selecting Fite Building Company for construction management of the Sportsplex after interviews with six firms; the procurement was handled as a professional services selection rather than a typical public bid.
Finance staff recommended that the council authorize the mayor to contract with Fite Building Company to provide construction management services for the city's Sportsplex project.
Kyle Demeester, finance director, told the council that procurement staff and economic development interviewed six firms and received proposals from four. After group review and consultations with the mayor and the city attorney, staff determined that Fite Building Company was “the most responsible proposer” for the Sportsplex construction management work. Demeester emphasized that the procurement was conducted as a professional services selection and therefore was not subject to the city's typical bid laws.
Demeester said the selection was intended to secure construction management services for the remainder of the Sportsplex project and that the approach mirrors how the city has used similar construction management services in prior projects. The resolution on the agenda is identified as Resolution 25042 and asks the mayor to sign the contract (or grant) with the selected firm.
The transcript records Demeester's description of the interview and selection process but does not include a recorded vote, mover/second or the final contract document in the excerpt.
