Council authorizes negotiations with QA Contractors for Stevenson Building work
Summary
After reviewing four bids, council authorized staff to begin contract negotiations with QA Contractors — the highest‑scoring firm on qualifications — and directed staff to return with a fully funded contract for council approval; staff said value engineering will be used to incorporate alternates.
Council authorized staff to begin negotiating a construction contract with QA Contractors for the Stevenson Building and parking lot improvement project after a competitive bid review.
Staff said four proposals were received and evaluated by a multi‑member review team that included city engineering, project architects and a Turs board representative. The review team recommended QA based on qualifications and a competitive price; staff stressed that negotiations and value engineering will be used to balance alternates and keep the final contract fully funded before council signs a contract.
City project staff said QA’s bid and qualifications best matched the project’s historic‑preservation and site‑work needs. Council authorized staff and the mayor to finalize negotiation terms and return with a fully funded contract at a future meeting.
