floodprone areas to be protected or floodproofed against flooding and

for intended purposes because of flood hazards.
(b) Establishment of floodplain areas.- For the purpose of the regulations prescribed
in this section, there are hereby created various floodplain areas subject to

floodway, the flood-fringe, and the approximated floodplain, shall be the flood
insurance study for the City of Roanoke prepared by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, Federal Insurance Administration, dated September 28,
2007. A copy of the flood insurance study, City drainage standards, and the
accompanying maps flood insurance rate map shall be filed

criterion that certain areas within the floodplain must be capable of
carrying the waters of the 100-year flood without increasing the water
surface elevation of that flood more than one (1) foot at any point. These
floodways are specifically defined in Table 4 of the flood insurance study
and as generally shown on the accompanying flood insurance rate map.

(b), above, shall be established as shown on the flood insurance rate map.-
and flood study.

above, may be revised by the City Council where natural or manmade
changes have occurred or where more detailed studies have been
conducted or undertaken by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or other
qualified agency, or an individual documents to the satisfaction of the
Zoning Administrator and City Engineer the need for such change.
However, prior to any such change, approval shall be obtained from the
Federal Insurance Insurance Emergency Management Administration-,
Region 3.
(4) Interpretations of the boundaries of the floodplain areas described in
subsection (b), above, shall be made by the Zoning Administrator, in
consultation with the City's Flood Plain Manager.

(d)(e) Abrogation and greater restrictions.
•
(5) These regulations supersede any regulations in effect in floodplain areas.
However, any underlying regulations or restrictions shall remain in full
629
force and effect to the extent that their provisions are more restrictive than
the regulations as set forth in this section.
* * *
(e)(f) Severability.- If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase
of this section shall be declared invalid for any reason whatever, such decision

No. 39922-050514.
AN ORDINANCE adopting and authorizing procedures for the selection,
evaluation, and award of Design-Build and Construction Management contracts as
provided for by Virginia Code Section 2.2-4308; authorizing the City Manager to take
such further actions and execute any needed documents in order to implement,
administer, modify, and enforce such procedures; establishing an effective date for this
Ordinance; and dispensing with the second reading by title of this Ordinance.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, pursuant to Code of Virginia (1950), as amended ("Va. Code") § 2.2-
4308, a public body may use design-build or construction management as solicitation
methods consistent with the procedures established by the Virginia Department of
General Services and the Virginia Secretary of Administration for construction projects
on a fixed price or not-to-exceed price; and
642
WHEREAS, the City of Roanoke, Virginia ("City of Roanoke" or "City") desires to
establish and authorize the necessary procedures for the use of Design-Build and/or +
Construction Management contracts when beneficial to the City of Roanoke.
THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Council of the City of Roanoke as
follows:
1. The City of Roanoke hereby finds that it is in the best interest of the City to
adopt this Ordinance and hereby adopts the Design-Build procedures and Construction
Management procedures set forth in this Ordinance, effective as set forth below.
A. RECITALS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE.
1. The City of Roanoke hereby incorporates the above Recitals into this
Ordinance.
B. DESIGN-BUILD SOLICITATION AND AWARD PROCEDURES.
1. A design-build contract procurement method shall be a two-step
competitive negotiation process. The following procedures shall
govern the selection, evaluation, and award of design-build contracts: -°�
a. Criteria for use: Design-build contracts are intended to minimize
the project risk for the owner and reduce the delivery schedule by
overlapping the design phase and the construction phase of a
project.
b. Approval for use: Prior to taking any action to pursue a design-build
project, the City's requesting department or division shall receive
the written approval of the City Manager to use the design-build
procurement solicitation method. The request shall be in writing
and shall justify and substantiate that the design-build method is
more advantageous than a competitive sealed bid construction
contract with a general contractor and shall indicate how the City
will benefit from using the design-build method. The request shall
also include a written justification that sealed bidding is not
practicable and/or fiscally advantageous. These justifications for
the use of the design-build method shall be stated in the Request
for Qualifications (RFQ). Approval of or exceptions to this
procedure may be granted by the City Manager, who is the
approving authority for requests to use the design-build method.
643
•
c. Basis of award: The award of a design-build contract shall be in
accordance with Va. Code §2.2-4301(3)(b), as it now exists or as it
may be amended, and shall be based on the following: 1) an
acceptable proposal deemed to be in the best interest of the City of
Roanoke and 2) a determination that the Offeror's technical
proposal and, if requested, the financial proposal are determined to
be the "best value" for the City of Roanoke in response to the
Request for Proposal (RFP) for the project.
d. Evaluation Committee: The City shall establish an Evaluation
Committee ("Committee") to be responsible for evaluating the
qualifications of Offerors responding to the design-build solicitation
and reviewing proposals submitted for such services. This
Committee shall consist of a minimum of three (3) and a maximum
of five (5) voting members. The members of the Committee should
have expertise relevant to the project, with backgrounds in such
areas as project design, construction, finance, contract review,
and/or project management. The Committee shall include a
Virginia licensed engineer or architect. The membership of the
Committee shall be determined by the City's Director of Public
Works or the Director's designee.
e. Selection of Qualified Offerors (Step I) — Request for Qualifications
(RFQ).
(1) The City's Purchasing Department shall publish notice of the
City's RFQ at least ten (10) days prior to the date set for receipt
of qualifications by advertising in a local newspaper of general
circulation in the City of Roanoke, posting on the City's website,
posting in the Noel C. Taylor Municipal Building at a location
designated by the City's Purchasing Manager, and in such other
manner as designated by the City's Purchasing Manager, so as
to provide reasonable notice to the maximum number of
Offerors that can be reasonably anticipated to submit
qualifications in response to the particular RFQ. Additionally,
qualifications may be solicited directly from potential Offerors. If
practicable, the notice shall also be published in appropriate
national trade publications.
644
(2) The RFQ shall provide a description of the project, the services
required by the City, any unique capabilities to be required of
the Offeror, and the criteria to be used in evaluating the
potential Offeror's qualifications. The RFQ should request from
potential Offerors only such information as is appropriate for an
objective evaluation of all Offerors pursuant to such criteria.
The RFQ shall establish procedures whereby comments
concerning provisions in the RFQ can be received and
considered prior to the time set for receipt of qualifications. All
Offerors shall have a licensed Class "A" contractor and an
Architect or Engineer registered in the Commonwealth of
Virginia as part of the Offeror's team.
(3) The Committee shall evaluate each responding Offeror's
qualifications submittal and any other relevant information and
shall determine which Offerors are fully qualified and suitable for
the project.
(4) The RFQ evaluation shall result in a short list of two (2) to five
(5) Offerors to receive an RFP. An Offeror may be denied
prequalification only as specified in Virginia Code § 2.2-4317(C).
However, the short list shall also be based on the RFQ criteria
and a determination by the Committee of which qualified
Offerors should be on the short list based on such Offerors'
responses to the RFQ.
(5) At least thirty (30) days prior to the date established for the
submission of proposals to the RFP, the City's Purchasing
Manager shall advise each Offeror in writing as to whether that
Offeror has been prequalified. In the event that an Offeror is
denied prequalification, the written notice shall state the reasons
for the denial of prequalification and the factual basis for such
reasons. Prequalified Offerors that are not selected for the short
list shall likewise be provided the reasons for such decision.
f. Selection of the Design-Build Contractor (Step II).
(1) The City's Purchasing Manager or designee shall prepare a
Request for Proposal ("RFP") that includes, but is not limited to,
the following: a) the instructions for submitting a proposal, the
criteria for evaluation, and the terms and conditions of the
design-build contract; b) a narrative description of the project
•
requirements; c) general conditions and technical specifications;
and d) facility and site plans as appropriate for the project. The
RFP may also define such other requirements as the City
645
determines appropriate for a particular project. The RFP shall
include procedures whereby comments concerning
specifications or other provisions contained in the RFP can be
received and considered prior to the time set for receipt of
proposals.
(2) The City's Purchasing Manager or designee shall send an RFP
to the qualified design-build Offerors on the short list for the
project and request formal proposals from each of them.
Offerors will have at least ten (10) days to submit a proposal.
Separately sealed technical and financial proposals may be
required to be submitted to the City's Purchasing Manager. If
such separate proposals are required, the Purchasing Manager
will provide the technical proposals to the Committee and hold
the financial proposals until the technical review has been
completed.
(3) Based on criteria established in the RFP, the Committee shall
evaluate each of the technical proposals. As a part of the
evaluation process, the Committee may grant each of the
Offerors an equal opportunity for direct and private
communication with the Committee. Each Offeror shall be
allotted the same fixed amount of time. In its communications
with Offerors, the Committee shall exercise care to discuss the
same owner information with all Offerors. In addition, the
Committee shall not disclose any trade secrets or proprietary
information for which the Offeror has invoked protection in
accordance with Va. Code §2.2-4342.
(4) The Committee will inform each Offeror of any adjustments
necessary to make such Offeror's technical proposal fully
compliant with the requirements of the RFP. In addition, the
City may require that any and/or all Offerors make design
adjustments necessary to incorporate project improvements
and/or additional detail information identified by the Committee.
(5) Based on the adjustments made to the technical proposals, an
Offeror may amend its financial proposal. In addition, an Offeror
may submit cost modifications to its original sealed financial
proposal, which are not based on revisions to the technical
proposal.
(6) The Committee shall evaluate and rank (if technical rankings
are to be considered as a criteria for an award) the technical
proposals. Should the City Manager determine in writing and in
his/her sole discretion that only one Offeror is fully qualified, or
646
that one Offeror is clearly more highly qualified than the others
under consideration, a contract may be negotiated and awarded
to that Offeror after approval of the City Manager. Otherwise,
the Purchasing Manager shall open the financial proposals and
apply the criteria for an award as specified in the RFP and make
a recommendation to the Committee and make such financial
proposals available to the Committee for its evaluation. The
Committee, in its discretion, either as a whole or by a
designated member or members, may then negotiate with the
Offeror or Offerors the Committee selects in order to arrive at
terms for a design-build contract the Committee determines the
Committee can recommend to the City Manager.
(7) The Committee shall make its recommendation for the selection
of a design builder to the City Manager based on its evaluations
of the technical and financial proposals. The contract shall be
awarded to the Offeror who is fully qualified and has been
determined to have provided the best value in response to the
RFP and whose proposal is deemed to be in the best interest of
the City.
(8) The City's Purchasing Manager or designee will notify all --•
Offerors who submitted proposals which Offeror was selected
for the project. The Notice of Intent to Award may be used to •
make this notification. When the terms and conditions of
multiple awards are so provided in the RFP, awards may be
made to more than one Offeror.
(9) Upon request and in accordance with Va. Code § 2.2-4342,
documentation of the process used for the final selection shall
be made available to the unsuccessful Offerors.
C. CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SOLICITATION AND AWARD
PROCEDURES.
1. A Construction Management (CM) procurement method shall be a two-
step competitive negotiation process. The following procedures shall
govern the selection, evaluation, and award of CM contracts:
a. Criteria for use of Construction Management (CM): CM contracts
may be approved for use on projects where: 1) fast tracking of
construction is needed to meet City program requirements, or 2)
value engineering and/or constructability analyses concurrent with
design are required. ` ""
647
b. Approval for use: Prior to taking any action to pursue a CM project,
the City's requesting department or division shall receive the
written approval of the City Manager to use a CM contract
procurement solicitation method. The request shall be in writing
and shall justify and substantiate that a CM contract meets the
criteria found in paragraph 1(a) above. The request must also
include the stipulation that the CM contract will be initiated no later
than the Schematic Phase of design. The request shall also
include a written justification that sealed bidding is not practicable
and/or fiscally advantageous. These justifications for the use of a
CM contract shall also be stated in the Request for Qualifications
(RFQ). Approval of or exceptions to this procedure may be
granted by the City Manager, who is the approving authority for
requests to use CM procedures.
c. Limitation of use: The use of CM solicitation method shall be
limited to projects with a total construction value for all phases in
excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). The City's
Purchasing Manager shall document the reasons for the City's
justification for choosing the CM approach to meet the needs of
the City over procuring the project utilizing a sealed bid approach
prior to the issuance of an RFQ.
d. Basis of award: The basis of the award of a CM contract shall be in
accordance with competitive negotiation for other than
professional services as set forth in Va. Code §2.2-4301(3)(b) as it
now exists or as it may be amended and the criteria for the award
shall be submitted to the City's Purchasing Manager, in advance,
for approval. It is noted that cost is a critical component of the
selection process. However, such award shall also be in
accordance with the provisions of Va. Code §2.2-4308 as it now
exists or as it may be amended.
e. Evaluation Committee: The City shall establish an Evaluation
Committee ("Committee") to be responsible for evaluating the
qualifications of potential Offerors of CM and reviewing proposals
submitted for such services. This Committee shall consist of a
minimum of three (3) and a maximum of five (5) voting members.
The members of the Committee should have expertise relevant to
the project, with backgrounds in such areas as project design,
construction, finance, contract review, and/or project management.
The Committee shall include a Virginia licensed engineer or
architect. The membership of the Committee shall be determined
by the City's Director of Public Works or designee.
648
f. Selection of Qualified Offerors (Step I — Request for Qualifications ■
(RFQ): The City's Purchasing Department shall conduct a
prequalification process as follows to determine which Offerors are - .�
qualified to receive a Request for Proposal (RFP).
(1) The City's Purchasing Manager shall prepare an RFQ
containing the City's facility requirements, building and site
criteria, site and survey data (if available), the criteria to be
used to evaluate RFQ Responses, and other relevant
information, including any unique capabilities or
qualifications that will be required of the contractor. All
Offerors shall have a licensed Class "A" contractor
registered in the Commonwealth of Virginia as part of the
project team.
(2) The City's Purchasing Department shall publish notice of the
City's RFQ at least ten (10) days prior to the date set for
receipt of qualifications by advertising in a local newspaper
of general circulation in the City of Roanoke, posting on the
City's website, posting in the Noel C. Taylor Municipal
Building at a location designated by the City's Purchasing
Manager, and in such other manner as designated by the
City's Purchasing Manager, so as to provide reasonable
notice to the maximum number of Offerors that can be
reasonably anticipated to submit qualifications in response to
the particular RFQ. Additionally, qualifications may be
solicited directly from potential Offerors. If practicable, the
notice shall also be published in appropriate national trade
publications.
(3) The Committee shall evaluate each responding Offeror's
RFQ response and any other relevant information and shall
determine those Offerors deemed qualified with respect to
the criteria established in the RFQ for the project.
(4) The RFQ evaluation process shall result in a short list of two
(2) to five (5) Offerors to receive an RFP. An Offeror may be
denied prequalification only as specified under the Code of
Virginia §2.2-4317(C). However, the short list shall also be
based on the RFQ criteria and a determination by the
Committee of which qualified Offerors should be on the short
list based on such Offeror's response to the RFQ.
(5) At least thirty (30) days prior to the date established for the
submission of proposals to the RFP, the City's Purchasing
Manager shall advise each Offeror in writing as to whether . .
649
that Offeror has been prequalified. In the event that an
Offeror is denied prequalification, the written notice shall
state the reasons for the denial of prequalification and the
factual basis for such reasons. Prequalified Offerors that are
not selected for the short list shall likewise be provided the
reasons for such decision.
g. Selection of a Construction Manager (Step II) — Request for
Proposal (RFP):
(1) The City's Purchasing Manager or designee shall send an RFP
to the qualified Offerors on the short list and request submission
of formal proposals from them. The criteria for award shall be
included in the RFP.
(2) Proposals as described in the RFP shall be submitted to the
Purchasing Manager.
(3) The Committee will evaluate and rank the proposals. After
evaluation and ranking of the proposals, the Committee shall:
i. Conduct negotiations with two or more Offerors submitting
the highest ranked proposals, (or)
ii. Should the Committee determine that only one Offeror is
fully qualified or that one Offeror is clearly more highly
qualified than the others under consideration, the Committee
shall recommend a contract may be negotiated and awarded
to that Offeror.
(4) The Committee shall make its recommendation on the selection
of a construction manager to the City Manager based on the
Committee's evaluation and negotiations. The contract shall be
awarded to the Offeror who is fully qualified and has been
determined to have provided the best value in response to the
RFP and shall be made in accordance with the requirements of
Va. Code §2.2-4308 as it now exists or as it may be amended.
(5) The City's Purchasing Manager will notify all Offerors who
submitted proposals which Offeror was selected for the project.
The Notice of Intent to Award may be used to make this
notification. When the terms and conditions of multiple awards
are so provided for in the RFP, awards may be made to more
than one Offeror.
650
(6) Upon request, documentation of the process used for the final
selection shall be made available to the unsuccessful Offerors,
subject to the provisions of Va. Code §2.2-4342.
h. Required CM Contract Terms: Any Guaranteed Maximum Price
construction management contract entered into by the City will
contain provisions requiring that (1) not more than 10% of the
construction work (measured by cost of the work) will be performed
by the CM with its own forces and (2) that the remaining 90% (or
more) of the construction work will be performed by subcontractors
of the CM which the CM must procure by publicly advertised,
competitive sealed bidding to the maximum extent practicable.
Documentation shall be placed in the file detailing the reasons any
work was not procured by publicly advertised, competitive sealed
bidding. The City Manager may modify these contractual
requirements in whole or in part for projects where it would be
fiscally advantageous to the public to increase the amount of
construction work performed by the CM.
i. Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP): The GMP shall be established
at the completion of the working drawings unless a waiver has been
granted by the City Manager.
j. One-Step Solicitation: The City Manager may approve a one-step
solicitation for a project, if adequate written justification is provided
