FROM: I30B PIERCE '" -~
SUBJECT: SI~1'I"EBOARD PARK.
DATE: 3/I7/2~05
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Staff recommends the passage of the attached resolution.
SUBJECT: Approving a Resolution allowing for the exemption of the public letting process and
selecting TODD Construction, Inc. to proceed with construction.
SUMMARY: Oregon Revised Statute 279.235 requires the contracting agency (City of Central Point}
to submit the Local Contract Review Board {Central Point City Council} with written findings
establishing justification far exempting a public improvement contract from public letting
requirements. The following findings are to be provided to the City Council.
1. It is unlikely that the exemption will encourage favoritism in the awarding of the public
improvement contracts or substantially diminish competition for public improvement
contracts.
A. Circumstances which have led to the need for exempting the Skate Board Park
public improvement project contract continue to be beyond the control of the City.
The grant which funds a significant portion of this project was unexpected, and
contains time restraints which do not allocate a sufficient length of time for the
project schedule to include a publicly let project. Furthermore, publicly exempting
the Skate Park contract will nat result in favoritism, or substantially diminish
competition for the following reasons; local construction knowledge and experience
is not adequate for the proposed project; contract prices will reflect local market
value; and where passible the General Contractor will use local contractors
wherever passible.

2. The awarding of the public improvement contract under the exemption will result in
substantially cost savings to contracting agency.
A. The City of Central Paint will benefit financially in a multitude of areas if the Skate
Park contract is exempt from public letting. Without a public bidding exemption the
City will be unable to complete the Skate Park construction within the allotted time
required by the grant funding opportunity. 1=urthermore, with TODD Construction
Inc., currently constructing the City Hall/Jackson County Library Facilities,
mobilization and project supervision associated costs will be reduced.
Oregon Revised Statutes require the City Council to allow public comment, during a hearing, prior to
finalizing an exemption of a public improvement contract. Fallowing public comment, the City
Council has the option of exempting a public improvement contract by approving a resolution.
