PAGE 01 STEPHEN SMITH PRESIDENT 1142 NORTH FUTRALL DRIVE FAYETTEVILLE, AR 72701 October 2, 2001 City Council Members, Mayor City of Fayetteville Fax Number: 575-8257 Re. Walker and Wilson Park Tennis and Basketball Courts Dear Council Member/Mayor, Telephone 501-261-1316 Fax 501-261.1319 I understand that City forces are being considered to construct the project above. The City solicited bids from contractors last month and Marinoni was given documentation after the bidding that informed us an award to be the contractor would be forthcoming. I signed copies of the 'Notice of Award" and the "Contract" that were generated by the City's consultant and returned the City's copy to the Parks and Recreation Dept. To date, I have not received the fully executed contracts. I appreciate the efforts of the City to be responsible stewards of taxpayer's money. I certainly am proud to have city officials that are scrupulous with my money and all of the City's residents that pay taxes to help this city thrive. A general contractor is needed for many reasons. I want to list some below for your reference when making the decision to hire us or use City forces. 1) We dedicate personnel and supervision to each project with a full team of office support with undivided effort to get this project finished on time and in a professional workmanlike manner. A full time management team will be required in the field and office for the entire three month construction of this project. 2) We insure this project with bonding that guarantees it will be finished per prints and specification. 3) The orchestration of subs is a difficult job. Professional job supervisors play an important role in making sure the schedule is adhered to and that subs perform per specification. If not handled correctly, the job will take several months longer to complete, thus disrupting the residents who use the parks. Kl 03/10/1334 21:43 5012511319 MARINONI CONST PAGE 02 • • 4) This project was estimated by the City's consultant, McClelland Engineers, at $260,000. The City budgeted $290,000 in certified funds to undertake the project. Our accepted bid is in the amount of $271,000. Our bid is not out of line with the City's consulting engineer or the City's certified funds. 5) If I am not mistaken, the City (as general contractor) will be legally required to advertise for solicitation of bids for each subcontractor category. This process will severely delay the project from getting started anytime in the near future. If contracted, the project will be ready in three months from our notice to proceed 6) The actual costs of the project may never be determined if the City decides to be the general contractor. A City project management team, office support and field supervisor will be required to dedicate at least three months at a cost to the taxpayer. Many other costs such as exposure to insurance claims can possibly harm the taxpayer. Worker's Compensation claims can ultimately cost the taxpayer. The cost of soliciting bids from local contractors in the future may rise if there is confusion on whether the City may contract themselves. The above points are not in any order, but please use them when making the right decision on this project. There is a need for a general contractor for this project. Hopefully, I have helped you in this process of being responsible stewards of our money. Smcerely, Stephen L. Smith President 03/10/1394 23:03 • 5012511319 • MtEcoNsu TING ENGINEERS, INC.
