end
SUBJECT
recommendation
Adopt Resolution No. 26-22 authorizing the use of Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) procurement method for the construction of the Wylie Fleet Maintenance Service Center project.
end
PURPOSE
The authorization to use the CSP procurement method for construction allows NTMWD staff and its consultant, Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (Stantec), the flexibility to establish weighted selection criteria that includes price as well as other non-monetary evaluation criteria. This method is recommended for this project due to the specific criteria required for this project and the opportunity it provides to select a contractor based upon the best overall value provided for NTMWD.
RECOMMENDATION
The Executive Director and NTMWD staff recommend the Board of Directors adopt Resolution No. 26-22, “A Resolution Authorizing Use of the Competitive Sealed Proposal Procurement Method under Texas Government Code Chapter 2269 for the Wylie Fleet Maintenance Service Center, Project No. 401-0613-22.”

BACKGROUND
PROJECT PURPOSE
• Due to the growth of the NTMWD transport system, the existing Wylie Service Center will be unable to support the District's fleet in the future. Improving the existing Facility Services Center to act as the new Wylie Service Center, demolishing the existing Wylie Service Center, and relocating the fuel tank at the Wylie campus will improve the vehicle maintenance capabilities at the Wylie campus and District-wide services provided at this location.
The improved facility would provide an area for offices, storage, and vehicle maintenance due to the lack of space to adequately service NTMWD over-the- road vehicles. .
COMPETITIVE SEALED PROPOSAL METHOD
• In 2011, the Texas Legislature enacted legislation that allows public entities such as NTMWD to elect to operate under Chapter 2269 of the Texas Government Code, which authorizes the use of alternate procurement methods for construction projects, including CSP. The advantages of CSP include better value through evaluated contractor selection, discouragement of participation by marginal contractors, the ability to take the best value offer, and the opportunity to negotiate with the best value candidate.
• The CSP procurement method allows NTMWD staff and its consultant, Stantec, to establish weighted selection criteria for contractor selection that includes price, experience, equipment, past performance, safety record, and/or financial stability. Other factors that may be considered include change order history, schedule, tendency for litigation and approach to the project. NTMWD staff will have the ability to score contractors on their demonstrated ability to construct projects similar in scope to the Wylie Fleet Maintenance Service Center.
• In examining the ability to use this alternative delivery method, legal counsel has advised of the statutory need for the NTMWD Board of Directors to specifically elect to utilize the alternate delivery methods set forth in Chapter 2269 instead of the usual procurement requirements for this particular project. The Executive Director and NTMWD staff recommend that the Board specifically authorize the use of the CSP procurement method for the construction of the Wylie Fleet Maintenance Facility Service Center, Project No. 401-0613-22 and to supersede for this project the operation of any other applicable law, rule, or regulation governing competitive bidding by the NTMWD.
