CONVENTION CENTER PHASE II EXPANSION - PRE-PURCHASE OF MAJOR
EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION.
It is recommended that City Council approve a professional services agreement with
Turner Logistics, LLC to provide Equipment Supply Chain Management Services for
the Second Phase Convention Center expansion project for a fee of 11.5% of the
actual cost of equipment purchases.
SUMMARY:
This action would hire Turner Logistics, LLC to manage the purchase, direct from
manufacturers, of large equipment for the Convention Center expansion project.
BACKGROUND:
The Phase 2 Convention Center expansion project design effort has struggled to meet
the minimum needs of the Center while staying within a fixed capital budget. At the
completion of Schematic Design, the project was reported to be $4.2 million over
budget. A Value Engineering exercise was conducted by the design team which
brought the project back within budget. One of the items to reduce cost had nothing
to do with the design, but rather the way in which the City procures the larger
equipment.
On this project, it is estimated that there is $2 million worth of large equipment. The
normal chain of purchase of this equipment would be via the trade contractors in their
bids. The trade contractors procure the equipment from suppliers,who in turn procure
it from manufacturers. At each step of the procurement chain, the equipment is
marked up.
There are a few firms out there that purchase very large volumes of equipment for
construction projects each year. Because of that volume purchasing, those
contractors can purchase directly from the manufacturer and are able to avoid the
distribution and trade contractor markups and receive a volume discount. Asummary
of potential savings by buying direct is as follows:
Savings Range
Item From To
Volume Discount (5%) (8%)
Remove DistributorsNdholesalers (7%) (17%)
Remove Trade Contractors 1( 0%1 L15M
Total Potential Savings (money) (22%) (40%)

The direct purchase process can also provide for time savings during the construction
process. Typical savings are as follows:
Item Savings Range
Bid period - direct to manufacturers 1 - 2 weeks
Award based on in-place manufacturing
agreements 2 - 4 weeks
Shop drawings/submittal review 3 -4 weeks
Preferential manufacturing slots 2 - 6 weeks
Total Potential Savings (time) 8 - 16 weeks
The items which can be purchased direct from the manufacturer,with the assistance
Of a firm that has direct manufacturer access, are: carpet, chillers, cooling towers, air
handling units, lightfixtures,switchgear,emergency generator and automatic transfer
switches.
Because of the City's long standing relationship with Turner Construction,who is one
of those contracting firms that does hundreds of millions of dollars of direct
purchasing,we are able to gain access to Turner Logistics, LLC. This sister company
does all of Turner Construction's procurement and can provide similar services to the
City. The normal fee for theservice is 10% to 15% of the purchase price. Staff has
negotiated a fee of 11.5%for the Convention Center project. Taking the 11.5% fee
from the potential savings range created by the direct purchase results in savings to
the Convention Center of between 10.5% and 28.5%; Turner Logistics believes 10-
15% is a reasonable expectation.
The selection of Turner Logistics to provide these services will provide an additional
value added benefit. In the traditional bid process, the design specs often
unavoidably or unintentionally favor a specific manufacturer of major equipment. With
Turner's early involvement in pre-purchasing the major equipment, design criteria
which would limit competition can be identified and corrected early enough se that the
trade bid for the installation of the equipment can be structured to either specifically
accommodate the pre-procured item or be profiled to accommodate multiple
manufacturers. No other provider would be strategically situated to provide this value
added service. It is also a service which cannot be duplicated by City staff if the City
were to pre-purchase and assign the major equipment items with its own staff.
Attached to this report are the Standard Agreement exhibits which clearly detail the
work that is to be accomplished by Turner Logistics. Based on estimated equipment
value of$2 million,the fee to Turner Logistics would be $230,000. It should be noted
that should the City decide to abandon the project at any time up until actual purchase
of the equipment (which will be timed to correspond with receipt of all the Trade
Contractor bids on the project) then no fee is due.

party shall notify the injuring party, in writing, of its contentions by submitting a claim therefor. The
injured party shall continue performing its obligations hereunder so long as the injuring party
commences to cure such default within ten(10)days of service of such notice and completes the cure
of such default within forty-five(45) days after service of the notice, or such longer period as may be
permitted by the injured party; provided that if the default is an immediate dangerto the health, safety
and general welfare, such immediate action may be necessary. Compliance with the provisions of
this Section shall be a condition precedent to termination of this Agreement for cause and to any legal

losses, costs, liabilities,or damages suffered by City, and (ii) all amounts forwhich City may be liable
to third parties, by reason of Contractor's acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform
Contractor's obligation under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the
amount or validity of which is disputed by Contractor, or any indebtedness shall exist which shall
appear to be the basis for a claim of lien, City may withhold from any payment due, without liability
for interest because of such withholding, an amount sufficient to cover such claim. The failure of City
to exercise such right to deduct or to withhold shall not, however, affect the obligations of the
Contractor to insure, indemnify, and protect City as elsewhere provided herein.
7.4 Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy by a non-
defaulting party on any default shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. A
party's consent to or approval of any act by the other party requiring the party's consent or approval
shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the other party's consent to or approval of any
subsequent act. Any waiver by either party of any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver
of any other default concerning the same or any other provision of this Agreement.
7.5 Rights and Remedies are Cumulative. Except with respect to rights and
remedies expressly declared to be exclusive in this Agreement,the rights and remedies of the parties
are cumulative and the exercise by either party of one or more of such rights or remedies shall not
preclude the exercise by it,at the same or differenttimes, of any other rights or remedies forthe same
default or any other default by the other party.
7.6 Legal Action. In addition to any other rights or remedies, either party may take
legal action, in law or in equity, to cure, correct or remedy any default, to recover damages for any
default, to compel specific performance of this Agreement, to obtain declaratory or injunctive relief,
or to obtain any other remedy consistent with the purposes of this Agreement.

City the sum of ($-0-)as liquidated damages for each working day of delay in the performance of any
service required hereunder, as specified in the Schedule of Performance(Exhibit"D"). The City may
withhold from any monies payable on account of services performed by the Contractor any accrued
liquidated damages.

termination of this Agreement except as specifically provided in the following Section for termination

Officer. In addition, the Contractor reserves the right to terminate this Agreement at any time, with
or without cause, upon sixty (60) days written notice to City, except that where termination is due to
the fault of the City, the period of notice may be such shorter time as the Contractor may determine.

product actually produced hereunder. In the event of termination without cause pursuant to this
Section,the terminating party need not provide the non-terminating party with the opportunity to cure
pursuant to Section 7.2.
7.9 Termination for Default of Contractor. If termination is due to the failure of the
Contractorto fulfill its obligations under this Agreement,City may,aftercompliance with the provisions
of Section 7.2, take over the work and prosecute the same to completion by contract or otherwise,
and the Contractor shall be liable to the extent that the total cost for completion of the services
