CITY OF DENTON
MEMORANDUM
TO: Chris Hartung, City Manager
FROMi King Cole, Assistant City Manager
DATE: November 8, 1979
SUBJECT: New animal shelter,
As you know, we have received bids on the new animal
shelter that far exceed the funds a
t' vaileble for its r
construction.
The low bid was $192,045 by the David Duffield ConstructiCompany of Denton, We have $90,000 to $100,000 budgeted for
contruction of this site.
Our architect, in the attached letter, indicates that
he thinks the low bid was a good bid and a fair price for the
construction of the proposed facility and he recommends that {
If possible, we should go ahead and accept the low bid. I
have discussed the matter with Chief Mills and our Finance
Director, Bill McNary and it does not appear to be feasible
to generate an additional $100,000 from our existing budget.
F I feel that we need to make the Council aware of the
situation acid discuss some alternatives with them at their
meeting of November 13. Jim Kirkpatrick will be in attendance
k and answer questions.

Re: City of Denton
Animal Humane Shelter
Dear Sir:
In response to our meeting of Thursday, 1 November, please find for your
review this letter concerning the referenced project.
Having reviewed the bids received for construction of the project, it is
my opinion that the low bid received from David Duffield Construction Company
is a fair and equitable price. The cost of Base Bid, Bid Alternate "A" and
Bid Alternate "C" would be $192,045.00. This is of course considerably
above the original budget, however I recommend that if possible, the City
of Denton accept the low bid received, I base this recommandation on the
reasons as follow:
a
1) As previously mentioned, the low bid is a fair and equitable
price ($37.57/of for the building).
2) It to doubtful the existing plane, which meet the using
agents needs and design criteria and has their approval,
f could be sufficiently modified and re-bid with any hope
I of realizing substantial savings.
f 3) Complete re-design and reduction of the facility will be
required to attempt a substantial savings; however, price
escalation will become a factor in any re-design. A re-
design to achieve substantial savings might provide a
newer facility than the existing, but I have reservations
{ concerning what the quality might be and the anticipated
building life.
Please know that my office stands ready to proceed with the project, regardless
of whether that means proceeding as presently designed, modification, or
complete re-design, f
The present design will provide the City of Denton with a fine facility at
a reasonable cost. Please realize that a prompt decision is needed, since
the bids received are valid for only 30 days from the date received.
