SUBJECT:
Task Order for water and sewer line replacement at Olmos Basin Park
SUMMARY:
This ordinance authorizes a task order to a Job Order Contract to Con-Cor Inc. for the Olmos Basin Park water and sewer line service for existing structures located in Council Districts 1 and 2 in an amount not to exceed $500,000.00. Funds are available and are included in the FY 2021 - 2026 Capital Improvement Program.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Olmos Basin Park is located at 851 Devine and was deeded to the City in 1925. Many of the improvements happened in the park with the Civilian Conservation Core (CCC) in the mid-1930s. Subsequently, the water and sewer lines that service the park buildings and restrooms were established in the 1940s. Only minor maintenance and repairs to the existing water and sewer lines have been done to date over the last 70 years, resulting in the main water and sewer lines in the park needing to be replaced. The park has restroom buildings, water fountains, and leased facilities including the San Antonio Gun Club which are all serviced by the antiquated water and sewer lines. This project will replace those service lines, and the contractor will not impact the tree canopy as the boring method will be utilized, resulting in minimal impact to the environment. Construction is anticipated to begin in July and be completed by end of September 2021.
This is a task order utilizing Job Order Contracting (JOC), an alternative project delivery method in which ten contractors were approved through Ordinance 2019-02-21-0134 by City Council on February 21, 2019. The use of the JOC delivery method provides the City with on-call construction, renovation and maintenance services for City buildings and facilities. Assignment of JOC contractors to specific jobs is based on the contractor’s current workload, overall capacity, and familiarity with a specific facility, expertise in completing specific task and/or managing a specific trade needed to carry out the requested repair or rehabilitation. Of the ten contractors, Con-Cor Inc. was selected to submit an estimate and project schedule for this Project.
This contract will be awarded in compliance with the Small Business Economic Development Advocacy (SBEDA) Program, which requires contracts be reviewed by a Goal Setting Committee to establish a requirement and/or incentive unique to the particular contract in an effort to maximize the amount of small, minority, and women-owned business participation on the contract. The Goal Setting Committee set a 24% Minority/Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE) subcontracting goal and a 4% African American Business Enterprise (AABE) subcontracting goal. Con-Cor Inc. has committed to a 24% M/WBE and 4% AABE subcontractor participation.
The Discretionary Contracts Disclosure Form, as required by the City’s Ethics Ordinance for all Projects where subjective criteria are used to select the contractor or consultant rather than low bid, is attached.
