REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR LITTLE CANADA PUBLIC WORKS/PARKS FACILITY The City of Little Canada is interested in retaining professional services for construction management services (CM) for the development of a new public works facility. We also would like these services to aid in the remodeling of City Hall. An architectural firm will also be retained utilizing a separate RFP. The chosen CM and Architect will work with designated City representatives to comprise the project team. The Project Team's mission will be to design a project and delivery program yields a facility that is cost effective in terms of construction and operating costs while also providing the community with a high quality project. BACKGROUND: Little Canada's Public Works operations are currently housed in a 7,000 square foot building with a number of functional deficiencies. Parks operations are housed in another building of about 3,000 square feet. Ideally, both operations will be consolidated at our new site. The following principles will guide this process: • A project site has been purchased. It is located at 2858 Centerville Road and is 2.55 acres in size (See aerial photos — Attachment #1 is the Site Map and Attachment #2 is an Area Map) • The proposed site is currently occupied by a number of buildings that will need to be demolished as part of this project. However, there is a newer portion of the existing commercial building that was constructed in 1993. As part of this process, we will evaluate the possible incorporation of this building into the new Public Works campus. (See Attachment #3A, 3B, & 3C for Building Information) The City is also contracting with a structural engineer to evaluate the feasibility of re -using this building as part of the Public Works campus. • The City is in the process of obtaining a topographical and boundary survey to aid the design of the project. • The specific size of the new building is as yet undetermined. The design process will define the needed size. • No more than $2.5M is available for this project. Ideally, that amount will cover the land cost of $675,000. However, that is not an absolute requirement at this time and will be dependent on the building size yielded as part of this design portion of the project. This Request for Proposals (RFP) is being tendered to identify the most qualified Construction Management firm willing to provide professional services required on behalf of the City of Little Canada. Proposals are due November 12, 2013 at 9:00 AM at the Little Canada City Hall and should be labeled: Construction Management services for Little Canada Public Works Facility. Proposals must be e- mailed to: joel.hanson(alci .little- canada.mn.us in PDF format. Submittals received after the deadline will not be accepted. 2
