Action
Requested: Award the contract for the construction of Sutton Place Drainage
Improvements to Joe Funk Construction in an amount not to
exceed $850,000.
Background
Information:
The existing public storm water infrastructure supporting Florence
Road near the intersection of Sutton Place becomes overwhelmed
and overtops the road with any significant storm event. This
repeated drainage issue prompted City staff to hire Freese and
Nichols, Inc. to perform a study and ultimately design the Sutton
Place Drainage Improvements project to address this drainage
infrastructure capacity deficiency. The Sutton Place Drainage
Improvements project includes the installation of underground
storm drainage infrastructure under Florence Road and Sutton
Place.
Solicitation of bids for this project began on November 17, 2019
and sealed bids were received and opened on December 10, 2019.

City staff and our design consultant, Freese and Nichols, Inc.
reviewed and scored the submitted bids based on the best value
criteria described in the project manual. The evaluation criteria for
this bid are Proposed Contract Price, Qualifications and
Experience, and the Vendor's Past Relationship with the City. Staff
received negative feedback and has experienced issues first hand
on City of Southlake construction projects with the contractor who
submitted the lowest bid. Having the most complete and polished
submittal, and an overwhelmingly positive experience to date on
the current Zena Rucker Roundabout Construction Contract,
resulted in a best value recommendation to award the contract to
Joe Funk Construction, Inc.
The bid from Joe Funk Construction came in at $774,636.90 for
anticipated work; staff is requesting authorization for a total of
$850,000, which includes a 10% contingency, for construction
expenses that may arise due to unforeseen field conditions.
