Description

Recreational Community Center Request for Proposal Request for Clarification These answers are being issued to clarify the Recreational Community Center Request for Proposal and shall supersede and supplement all portions of previously issued documents with which it conflicts. It shall be made an integral part of the Request for Proposal. QUESTION - 1 Are you able to provide clarity on the City’s anticipated construction budget? RESPONSE: Construction budget is anticipated to be $5 million. However, we are aware that our preferred option’s overall construction cost may be greater than this amount and we would like at least conceptual plans and cost estimates for this as laid out in Task 1. If it is decided that we would like to move forward with the preferred option, negotiations of increase in project scope can be discussed at that time. The main goals we are looking to accomplish with this project is to construct the new gym and event space and make the existing building (bathrooms, entrance etc.) ADA compliant. QUESTION - 2 Question regarding Task 13: provide construction observation during construction, is the City’s expectation for someone to be on site full-time throughout the duration of construction? RESPONSE: We anticipate there to be part-time inspection throughout the duration of construction. QUESTION - 3 Will there be any phasing of construction? Is the plan to keep the building operational during construction? RESPONSE: No phasing is anticipated during construction, but the existing building will need to remain open during construction.

Conventional design-bid build (DBB), CMC, CMA, other? If DBB will it be a conventional GC prime or do they want the A/E to scope out a WICKS Law Multi-Prime? RESPONSE: We plan on using a conventional design-bid-build approach for this project. Based on the anticipated construction cost we believe that WICKS Law Multi-Prime contracts will be needed but we will leave that up to the design consultant to determine.
