The purchasing agency proposing to utilize this section of the procurement code must detail in the project file why utilizing this section of the code is in the best interest of the city.
(A) Procurement methods.
(1) Design-build is a project delivery method in which the procuring agency enters into a single contract for design and construction of an infrastructure facility. Procurement of design-build services shall generally follow procedures outlined in the "Design Build Manual of Practice", as published by the "Design Build Institute of America".
(2) Design-bid-build means a project delivery method in which the purchasing agency sequentially awards separate contracts, the first for Architectural and Engineering Services to design the project and the second for construction of the project according to the design.
(3) Operation and maintenance is a project delivery method whereby the procuring agency enters into a single contract for the routine operation, routine repair, and routine maintenance of an infrastructure facility. Operation and Maintenance services shall be procured from prequalified contractors by utilizing competitive scaled proposals submitted in response to a request for proposals, which has established the supplies and services required to maintain and operate infrastructure facilities.
(4) Design-build-operate-maintain is a project delivery method in which the procuring agency enters into a single contract for design, construction, maintenance, and operation of an infrastructure facility over a contractually defined period. All or a portion of the funds required to pay for the services provided by the contractor during the contract period are either appropriated by the city prior to award of the contract or secured by the city through fee or user charges. Procurement of design-build-operate-maintain services shall generally follow procedures outlined in the "Design Build Manual of Practice", as published by the "Design Build Institute of America".
(5) Design-build-finance-operate is a project delivery method in which the procuring agency enters into a single contract for design, construction, finance, maintenance, and operation of an infrastructure facility over a contractually defined period. No funds are appropriated to pay for any part of the services provided by the contractor during the contract period. Procurement of design-build-finance-operate- maintain services shall generally follow procedures outlined in the "Design Build Manual of Practice", as published by the "Design Build Institute of America". A preliminary determination by the City should have been made that project revenues are sufficient, over the length of the proposed contract, to cover design, construction, finance, and operations.
(6) Design-build-finance-operate-maintain means a project delivery method in which the purchasing agency enters into a single contract for design, construction, finance, maintenance, and operation of an infrastructure facility over a contractually defined period. No city funds are appropriated to pay for any part of the services provided by the contractor during the contract period. This deliver method does not preclude the city from providing financing as long as the city ultimately is reimbursed all of its costs over the life of the contract agreement.
(7) Construction management services is a project delivery process by which a qualified third party provides construction leadership with a defined scope throughout various phases of the project (e.g. planning, design and construction). The Construction Manager would typically provide advice and the construction leadership, contract management, direction, supervision, coordination and control of the work during the construction phase. The Construction Manager would strive to integrate the expertise of the design professional with the contractors knowledge of project constructability in order to obtain a cost effective end result. The Construction Manager could hold the dual role of design professional and contractor. The procurement of Construction Management Services shall generally follow procedures outlined by the Association of General Contractors "Owners Guidelines for Selection of a Construction Manager".
(8) Other special project delivery methods or combinations of the above may be utilized provided that the purchasing agency can demonstrate that the delivery method meets the intent of this procurement code and receives the approval of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen.
(B) Evaluation factors. The request for proposals shall state all evaluation factors and subfactors that will be separately rated and the weights to be given to each factor and subfactor in the evaluation. Evaluation factors may consist of the following:
(1) Demonstrated compliance with design requirements;
(2) Qualifications and experience;
(3) Financial capacity;
(4) Project schedule;
(5) Price (or life-cycle price for design-build-operate-maintain and design-build-finance-operate-maintain procurements); and
(6) Other evaluation factors if any.
(C) The request for proposals may require each offerer to identify an Independent Design Peer Reviewer whose competence and qualifications to provide such services shall be an additional evaluation factor in the award of the contract. The city reserves the right to choose its own Independent Design Peer Reviewer.
