Macedonia council approves Beaver Constructors as design-builder for new service building
Summary
City council passed Ordinance 72 authorizing the mayor to enter a design-build agreement with Beaver Constructors Inc. Council and staff said the selection followed a multistage review of 19 submissions and that site work could start later this year.
The Macedonia City Council approved Ordinance 72, an emergency ordinance authorizing the mayor to enter an agreement with Beaver Constructors Inc. as design-builder for a new city service building (discussed in the meeting as the Salt Dome/service building).
City staff said the selection followed a multi-step process: the city received 19 submissions from prospective design-build teams, narrowed that field to four finalists and ran a structured review with an internal selection committee and external advisers from GPD, a professional design advisor. A city official said Beaver Constructors was recommended as the best-value firm after the committees review.
At the meeting staff and council members stressed urgency related to deteriorating existing facilities and worker safety. A director involved in the procurement said the recommended teams schedule would allow on-site activity by November or December and that the firms fee proposal was within the citys budget assumptions (a figure discussed in the meeting as roughly 1.6percent for the fee component of the proposal).
Council voted to waive the 48-hour rule and approve the ordinance in a single meeting; the measure passed by voice vote. Council and staff said the contract and selection followed legal and procurement review and a formal evaluation process.
Ending: Staff said they would brief council as construction milestones occur and that early work could appear at the site later in the year.
