Fry. The following are draft findings for an exemption from the competitive bidding requirement in accordance with Public Contracting Rule 10.110. Finding. The awarding of a contract pursuant to the exemption will result in substantial cost savings to the City. Discussion: Substantial cost savings are expected through adoption of the contract with Mr. Fry. The following are the reasons supporting the expectation. • By allowing the Tigard Business Center developer to use portions of the restoration site for wetland and stream mitigation, the developer will finance approximately 30 percent of the project. • The project needs to be constructed in a single phase to ensure that all grading and planting work together as designed. By allowing the developer to construct the project, he will have control of the quality required to meet his mitigation requirements. These requirements will meet or exceed the quality needed for the Hiteon Creek Riparian Enhancement project. • Because developers often have existing relationships with construction companies, lower construction costs are possible. e Savings are also realized since the developer will not have the expense of administering a formal public bid process and simplified construction documents will be adequate for construction.
