CITY OF TIGARD
NEW LIBRARY PROJECT
FINDINGS FOR AN EXEMPTION FROM THE
COMPETITIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENT
The New Tigard Library Project is proposed for construction through the Construction
Manager/General Contractor competitive selection process.The following are findings for an
exemption from the competitive bidding requirement in accordance with Local Contract Review
Board Administrative Rule 35.010.
Finding:It is unlikely that such exemption will encourage favoritism or substantially
diminish competition for the contract.
Discussion:The CM/GC is selected through a competitive selection process to provide both
construction management and general contracting services.No reduction of competition is
expected since the proposed process is open to the same contractors that would have participated
in the traditional low bid method. Uniform evaluation criteria will be used in the selection of the
CM/GC firm,and the construction work elements will be subcontracted and procured through
open bids managed by the CM/GC.
Finding:The awarding of a CM/GC contract pursuant to the exemption will result in
substantial cost savings to the City.
Discussion:Substantial cost savings are expected through adoption of the CM/GC process.The
following are the reasons supporting the expectation that substantial cost savings would be
realized:
• This method has the potential for achieving significant cost savings through early
involvement of the contractor in the design phase of the project.By having the contractor
available in the early stages of the design,the contractor would be able to review the design,
propose cost saving revisions,and ensure the constructability of the project so that costly
change orders are less likely.
• Construction of the library involves a wide range of construction elements ranging from the
various building trades to public street improvements.Cost saving are expected from the
CM/GC being able to separately contract for each of the elements.
• The CM/GC method avoids the cost in time and money involved in rebidding of the project,
should bids come in higher than expected.A traditional bid process rims the risk of obtaining
bids that exceed the project budget. In the CM/GC project delivery method,construction
costs are determined at an earlier time and changes to the design and scope of the project
necessary to meet the project budget are more easily achieved.
