Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a construction contract with Joeris General Contractors, Ltd for the Old Settlers Park at Palm Valley Multipurpose Field Complex and Soccer Complex Improvements Project.
Body
This item will authorize the City to enter into a construction contract with Joeris General Contractors. The City received three (3) competitive sealed proposals for the project with Joeris scoring the highest based on the proposal evaluation criteria. Joeris is a large construction company that has constructed numerous sports facility projects, large scale school/university and stadium projects. All of the past project managers/owners we called had positive feedback regarding Joeris. The project has a fairly aggressive schedule; opening the Multipurpose Complex in Spring 2017; and Joeris has acknowledged that they can meet this schedule.
The Multipurpose Field Complex Project includes five (5) multipurpose fields, parking, sports lighting, restroom/concessions building, spectator amenities, playground, etc. The Soccer Complex Project will include renovation of the existing five (5) soccer fields to create two (2) multipurpose fields and three (3) individual soccer fields (1 full, 2 youth), replacement of the existing topsoil and sod, and ADA upgrades to the complex. The Multipurpose Field Complex will be completed first which will allow the City to move local leagues to the Multipurpose Complex while construction on the Soccer Complex occurs. This project is in line with numerous objectives within Strategic Plan Goals 1-High Value Services and Goal 4-Sports Capital for Tourism.
