AUTHORIZE THE GENERAL tSERVICESECTOR, OR August 8, 2006
DESIGNEE, TO EXECUTE A CONTRACT WITH SWINERTON
MANAGEMENT AND CONSULTING, INC. IN THE AMOUNT
OF $650,000 TO PROVIDE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
SERVICES FOR THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S NEW
BUILDING PROJECT AT 950 WARD STREET, MARTINEZ
Bidding has commenced on the project, with the bid opening date set for August 24, 2006. The General
Services Department has completed a pre-qualification process and determined a pool of pre-qualified general
contractors allowed to bid on the project. In addition, the hazardous materials abatement and demolition
phases of the project will take place ahead of time to expedite the schedule and mitigate some of the
unforeseen conditions.
Because of the scale and complexity of the project, it is recommended that a professional firm provide full-time
construction management ("CM") services for the project. The services to be provided include bid documents
review, preparation of specifications, demolition phase coordination, construction phase management, and
close-out coordination. The General Services Department conducted a competitive selection process to hire a
CM firm. Swinerton Management and Consulting, Inc. (Swinerton) was ranked the highest during this process.
Swinerton has a local office in Concord and their corporate office is in San Francisco. Contract terms for
providing comprehensive CM services were successfully negotiated, and staff recommends approval of the
consulting services agreement.
