BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At its November 1, 2006 meeting, City Council authorized staff to begin space planning, technical specifications and schematic design drawings to complete a set of "Bridging Documents"for a new Transit Vehicle Maintenance Facility. This work has been completed. The bridging documents will be used by a contractor/design team to complete the design and construct the new facility. The next phase in the project is to request proposals for the selection of the contractor/design team. This project was originally included in the fiscal year 2005106 budget and includesfunding for design and construction from Transit, Water and Wastewater accounts. Since adoption of the budget, staff has applied for and received an apportionment of San Joaquin County's Public Transit Account (PTA) funds from the State Transportation Improvement Program. This project has been programmed for $1,850,000 in fiscal year 2007108 and will have to be under construction in that year or risk loss of funds. The remainder of the construction funding ($750,000) will be from impact fees and Transportation Development Act transit capital funds. Staff is requesting Council authorize the RFP to ensure that the PTA funding can be utilized within the specified time frame. The project includes approximately 14,000 square feet of building space, providing heavy and light duty work bays, welding and parts rooms, office space, bathroom/locker rooms, and equipment storage spaces. A prequalification process is included to determine eligible design/build teams and ensure they have the necessary experience to perform the work. The proposals require a "Guaranteed Maximum Price" for the design and construction of the project. The bridging documents provide a framework for the contractor/design team to build the shop to the City's specifications. The bridging documents include basic plans and detailed performance specifications, which were developed by City staff and the design team. The selected contractor/design team will complete the facility design, obtain the building permit and construct the facility. Staff will seek Council approval of the successful contractor/design team selection. The RFP is on file in the Public Works Department.
