Purpose

The City is requesting proposals for General Contractor/ Small Projects Services for Construction-Term Agreement under a time and materials contract. The intent of the contract is to provide the City with a flexible and responsive contractual capability in support of their real property maintenance. The contract will consist of multiple institutional type projects encompassing alteration, small renovations, remodeling, and repairs to City structures and properties. It is the Owner’s intent to award to multiple contractors.

The City owns and operates over forty municipal buildings that facilitate delivery of a wide range of public services. These include Public Works, Wastewater, Water, Police, Fire, School, Library, Recreational and City Hall buildings. Most are open to the public during normal work hours, and some operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The expansion of City facilities over time has outpaced the ability of staff to maintain, renovate and repair these facilities in a timely manner. To address this, City is seeking to establish a list of prequalified General Contractors to deliver timely services on projects valued at $50,000 or less for a three-year period. Work would be completed with Task Orders from the City on an as needed basis.
