Description

Codington County Jail and Sheriff’s Offices Request for Proposal (RFP) for Construction Manager at Risk February 8, 2024 Codington County Jail and Sheriff’s Offices RFP for Construction Manager at Risk Services February 8, 2024 Section 1: Advertisement for Proposals / General Information Board of Codington County Commissioners (“County”) requests proposals for Construction Manager at Risk (“CMAR”) to provide pre-vote, preconstruction and construction services for a new Jail and Sheriff’s offices or an expansion and renovation of all or a portion of the existing sheriff’s offices and jail in Watertown, SD. These services to be coordinated with an Architectural and Engineering (“A/E”) firm. The Request for Proposal document for Construction Manager at Risk Services for the Codington County Jail and Sheriff’s Offices is available on the County’s website at http://www.codington.org 1.1 Background County has appointed the Codington County Justice Advisory Committee (“CCJAC”). The CCJAC’s basic task is to recommend to the County a way to address the county’s justice facility space needs. The existing jail and sheriff’s office was built in 1974. The facility has been remodeled several times with the most recent project completed in 2011 which expanded the capacity to 96 beds. The jail population projections are currently being updated. CCJAC does not expect the total capacity to dramatically increase. However, the configuration of the existing facility is functionally obsolete, with minimal inmate classifications and extensive operational inefficiencies. Also, nearly all the building systems are approaching end of life. County has previously proposed two bond referendums to fund justice space solutions. A $35m bond referendum failed in 2014 (27%/73%) and a $18.75m bond referendum failed in 2017 by just 72 votes. County desires to propose a new bond referendum on the November 5, 2024 ballot. If the voters pass the November bond referendum, the County will likely approve the AE to proceed with schematic design and design development and the CMAR to proceed with pre-construction services which would lead to a Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”). If the County approves the GMP, then the County would authorize the AE to proceed with construction documents and construction administration services and authorize the CMAR to proceed with Construction Services. County has shortlisted AE firms.
