City Council Meeting - May 13, 2025

The City Council of Tigard held a meeting on May 13, 2025, which included several proclamations recognizing community groups and heritage months. The primary procurement-related discussion focused on the Police and Public Works Facility Modernization project. The council received updates on the project overview, design and construction progress, and the architect selection process, which involved a competitive RFP with seven qualified firms. The project team is employing a Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC) approach to integrate pricing and design early, aiming for a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) by the end of the year to support a bond election in May 2026. The council approved the contract for architectural services unanimously, with appreciation expressed for the evaluation committee's work. The project schedule anticipates construction completion and occupancy by mid-2028. Additionally, the council approved a resolution extending volunteer worker compensation coverage. Public comments addressed local traffic safety concerns, and recognitions were given for police accreditation and public works achievements.
