Recommendation for Award of Construction Contract
Dear Mr. Harts:
Parkhill completed the Engineering Design and Construction Plans and prepared construction for the above
referenced rebid project. An official "Advertisement of Bid Notice" was published, and the bid documents were
publicly available from CivCast.com. Sealed bids for the Project were received, and publicly read aloud at
9:00 a.m., on February 8, 2022. Copies of the Summary Bid Tab and Detailed Bid Tab are attached for
reference.
The single received, and qualified, bid was submitted by Excel 4 Construction, of Fort Worth, Texas, at a Base
Bid amount of $371,200.00. The Opinion of Probable Cost (OPC) was $383,250.00. Completion time was
established in the bid documents at ninety calendar days.
Upon contacting references and verifying past work history, we found Excel 4 Construction has performed
satisfactorily on projects of similar size and scope for other similar size and scope for other municipalities in the
DFW area and have, to the best of our knowledge, completed same without incident. We have also verified with
Excel 4 Construction that they have reviewed the tabulation of bids and are comfortable with the bid they
submitted.
We submit a formal recommendation to Tarrant County Commissioner's Court for award to Excel 4
Construction for all Base Bid and Deductive Alternate Al items, in the amount of $251,086.25. Funds are for
construction through Tarrant County in the amount of $200,542.59. However, additional unused funds from
Project 2 in the amount of $28,627.10 will be used to assist in funding this project. Therefore, the construction
funds through Tarrant County are now $229,169.69. The City of Euless will fund the remaining $21,916.56
($251,086.25-$229,169.69).
In any resolution on Construction Contract award, we also recommend Euless City Council include authorization
for City of Euless staff and Tarrant County to issue Change Orders(s) totaling an amount not -to -exceed five
percent of the base contract amount, equaling $12,554.31, without requiring formal action by City Council and/or
Commissioner's Court.
For anything further, please contact me directly at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
PARKHILL
