DATE: February 18, 2025
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
rejecting any and all competitive statements under RFQ 8414 for the Municipal Complex Concept for the
Capital Projects Department; and providing an effective date (RFQ 8414).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
In March 2023 City Council recommended a new Municipal Complex be considered by the 2023 Special
Citizens Bond Advisory Committee. The Special Citizens Bond Advisory Committee comprised of 40 City
of Denton residents met on various dates from May to July 2023 and did not recommend the inclusion of a
new Municipal Complex as part of the 2023 Bond Program. During the Council Budget Work Session on
September 12, 2023, the Council approved funding of $100,000 for concept and design documents for a
new Municipal Complex. In November 2023, a Request for Qualifications solicitation was issued by the
City and evaluated by City staff. During the solicitation process for a new municipal complex, the City was
contacted to explore the potential acquisition of the Sally Beauty Headquarters. From April to September
2024, the City conducted due diligence on the property using funds allocated for the municipal complex
project. However, the property was subsequently sold to another government entity. Due to multiple factors
including funding constraints and possible alternatives to constructing a new building, staff recommends
delaying this project until these items can be addressed.
In accordance with the Local Government Code 252.043, the City Council may reject any and all bids.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends rejection of all responses for RFQ 8414 Municipal Complex Concept for the Capital
Improvements Department.
