METRO NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING For the purpose of taking comments on the draft findings for an exemption from competitive bidding requirement for Construction Management by General Contractor (CM/GC) Metro has scheduled a public hearing and meeting of the Metro Contract Review Board as part of the regularly scheduled Metro Council Meeting on Thursday, February 6, 2020 at 2:00 p.m. in Metro Council Chambers, 3rd floor, Metro Regional Center, 600 NE Grand Avenue, Portland, Oregon. The public hearing is for the purpose of receiving public comment from interested parties on the draft findings for an exemption to the competitive bidding requirement for the Oregon Convention Center Staff Space Renovations Project. In accordance with the draft findings, Metro’s Procurement Services has recommended that the Metro Contract Review Board exempt the Project from the requirements of competitive bidding under ORS Chapter 279C and Metro Local Contract Review Board Rule 49-0130 and utilize an alternative competitive solicitation method. At the hearing, after an opportunity for receipt of public comment, the Metro Contract Review Board will consider adoption of the draft findings and approval by resolution of the utilization of a Request for Proposals process to solicit a Contract Manager/General Contractor to renovate the Oregon Convention Center staff space. This project involves delivery, staging, installation of new materials and upgrades to the mechanical system in several current staff areas and several soon-to-be staff areas in the convention center. The overall Project budget is estimated to be $3.5 million.
