BACKGROUND
On October 4, 2023, a solicitation for Construction Manager at Risk Services for the Cotton Bowl Renovation, Rehabilitation and Addition Project was publicly advertised by the City of Dallas. On October 20, 2023, two statements of qualifications were received.
On October 23, 2023, a selection committee scored and ranked the statements of qualifications and on October 25, 2023, the Park & Recreation Department sent a request for proposals to the two highest ranking respondents. On November 3, 2023, two proposals were received and on November 6, 2023, the selection committee interviewed the two proposers and ranked the proposals. JE Dunn-Russell, a joint venture, received the highest ranking, making them the best value proposer of the two respondents as the result of a qualifications-based selection process in accordance with applicable law.
On December 13, 2023, the City of Dallas authorized a Construction Manager at Risk Agreement (CMAR Agreement) with JE Dunn-Russell, a joint venture, to provide the preconstruction and construction services for the Project with a preconstruction services fee in the amount of $145,000.00 and a construction management services rate of two and ninety-five hundredths percent (2.95%) of the cost of construction within the total estimated project construction budget by Resolution No. 23-1688.
The Project has a total estimated construction budget of $110,000,000.00 and will be constructed over two timeframes with Part One to be completed by August 1, 2024, and Part Two, with an estimated construction budget of $54,000,000.00, to be completed by August 1, 2025.
This action will authorize Supplemental Agreement No. 1 to provide an increase to the CMAR Agreement with JE Dunn-Russell to provide construction services for Part One of the Project with a Guaranteed Maximum Price, in an amount not to exceed $52,926,620.00 (which includes an owner’s contingency of $1,541,553.00 and a Guaranteed Maximum Price of $51,385,067.00), increasing the agreement amount from $145,000.00 to $53,071,620.00.
