SUBJECT: RESOLUTION 2005-88 ; NIKOLAEVSK FIRE SUBSTATION DESIGN

The Purchasing and Contracting Officer solicited and received proposals for the above-referenced project on July 20, 2005. The request for proposals was advertised in the Peninsula Clarion, the Homer News and the Seward Phoenix Log. Two proposals were received, one from ASCG Incorporated and the other from Bezek Durst Seiser.

The request for proposals solicited the full range of professional design services, from programming and schematic design through design development and construction. The request for proposals stated that the initial award of contract would be for the programming and schematic phases only and that award of later design phases would be contingent upon availability of funds for construction.

Evaluators from the capital projects department and the Anchor Point Fire and Emergency Services service area board scored the proposals. The proposal submitted by Bezek Durst Seiser is the high scoring proposal. The Anchor Point Fire and Emergency Services service area board on September 7, 2005 passed a motion, authorizing award of programming and schematic phase services to the high scoring proposer.

The attached Resolution requests Award of Contract to Bezek Durst Seiser for the programming and schematic design phase services for the proposed professional fee and reimbursable expenses not to exceed $17,633.00. Funds are available for this project in the capital improvement budget. Expenditures for the project will be charged to account numbers 444.51410.02441 and 444.51410.03BTA.
