CC - Item 3A - Construction Management ServicesROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: OLIVER CHI, INTERIM CITY MANAGER OZ--c-e-~
DATE: JUNE 26, 2007
SUBJECT: CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES
SUMMARY
Major public works projects require the expertise of an outside construction
management firm. These firms handle the day-to-day operations of such projects
including tracking and processing requests for information, change orders, substitutions,
and other related construction items. Many cities contract with several different firms for
these services depending upon areas of expertise, cost, and availability.
Currently, the City of Rosemead utilizes Willdan for all construction management related
services. Willdan is very capable and has provided these services to the City for many
years. However, as mentioned above, it could be beneficial to the City to have two or
three firms available to provide this service. If there were several firms available, the
City could potentially benefit by having more competitive pricing and availability.
If the City Council would like two or three firms available to the City for construction
management services, a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) could be prepared and
distributed to firms specializing in these services. Based upon the responses received,
staff would analyze each proposal and provide the City Council with a recommendation
of several firms at a subsequent meeting.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council provide direction regarding the issuance of an
RFQ for construction management services.
LEGAL REVIEW
This staff report has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney.
