SUBJECT:
Pre-qualification Concerns
San Jacinto Pool Project
Mr. Barr and Mr. Kneupper have recently updated me on concerns regarding the
pre-qualification of contractors (required by City Ordinance for projects> $300,000) for
, the San Jacinto Swimming Pool. There are two parts to the pre-qualification process,
financial and experience. .
Bacwound
'. On October 7,2001, pre-qualifications packets were mailed to'21 contractors in Texas
with previous pool experience.
. Follow up phone calls were made to these contractors.
. A common response from several frrms was the reluctance to provide financial statements.
. _ The deadline for response was October 22nd. '
. Two (incomplete) responses were received by the October 22nd deadline.
Follow Uu Efforts
. Staff contacted four additional contractors and forwarded packets to them.
. Staff contacted and received information from the two contractors to complete their packets.
Currently
. We have received and approved (from financial aspects) two contractors.
. The Engineer has not approved the work experience of these two contractors, he is currently
doing so.
Staffhad not yet advertised for bids because of the de.lays and lack of pre-qualified contractors.
After reviewing the situation with Stephen Barr and Doug Kneupper, I have asked them to proceed
accordingly:
e
e
. Advertise for bids as soon as possible.
. Call the two pre-q~alified bidders and insure they have enough time to prepare a bid by
approximately January 9th, 2002. "
, . Schedule bid opening for approximately January 9th.
. _ Meanwhile, try to secure additional pre-qualified bidders (verify with Knox Askins that
council can waive requested 30 day submittal bef~re bid opening).
. Open bids and present to Council at the January 14th meeting.
. Award bid if they are competitive and within budget.
. Council may need to waive the.30-day submission requirement.
. If bids are not competitive, consider rebidding and possible modifications to the pre-
qualification ordinance (we may need to do this anyway).
We got an early start on the pre-qualification (October 7th) but seem to have either a lack of
interest in bidding or a reluctance to furnish the required pre-qualification materials. Conversely,
the Fire Station #4 project has not experienced these problems as they have 12 pre-qualified
bidders. '

These estimates represent the engineer's opinions of probable construction cost based on final construction
drawings and specifications. Due to fluctuating bidding conditions the costs could vary from
the estimates presented above. There also are areas where savings could be realized, improvements
deferred, and work performed by force account.
