DISCUSSION:

The Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), in the amount of $37,477,446.00, consists of two work efforts: Final Works Package - $35,408,258.00, which is subdivided into two work phases; Railroad Bridge Phase for the construction of the railroad track and bridge, excavation, and retaining walls and the Roadwork Phase - for the construction of electrical, roadway paving, and landscaping to complete the project; and the Stormwater Facilities Early Works Package,  Mayor and Council Communication (M&C C-27065) - $2,069,188.00, which was completed in July 2015.  Additional City project costs, in the amount of $1,755,000.00, are needed resulting in a total construction work effort in the amount of $39,232,446.00.

On April 6, 2017 and April 13, 2017, McCarthy advertised the Final Works Package components in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, as well as employed enhanced measures to alert the North Texas contracting community of this bidding opportunity. In addition, McCarthy hosted a Minority Business Enterprise outreach event on April 18, 2017 and conducted a Pre-Construction Conference on April 21, 2017.

On May 10, 2017 bids were received and evaluated by McCarthy based on published factors such as ability to start and complete the project within the project schedule, construction techniques and the ability to perform the work and other specific criteria including but not limited to the following:

        • Cost
        • Safety and Accidents Rates
        • Schedule and Work Planning
        • Financial Strength
        • Business Diversity Ordinance Compliance
        • Qualifications, Experience, and References





Contractors have been recommended by McCarthy to Staff as offering the best value to McCarthy and the City, with which Staff concurs. While McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. is the recommended contractor, the Director of Transportation and Public Works has determined that McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., provides the best value for the City.
