RFP/Q026-20 City Facilities Needs Assessment

The City of Meriden seeks Statements of Qualifications and Proposals from architectural and/or engineering firms licensed to practice in the State of Connecticut to perform a facility needs assessment on numerous City buildings. The purpose of the project is to ascertain the present condition of these buildings and develop a 15-year, long-range plan to address deficiencies. The selected firm will conduct a detailed condition assessment and perform a capital renewal analysis of the facilities and recommend a facility management web-based system for use by the City’s facilities and management personnel. The program software should effectively systematize maintenance and use facility condition and cost data to facilitate capital reinvestment planning and integration of physical assets.

The awarded firm will be contracted to continue assessments in years 2027 and 2028 depending upon fund availability.

The objectives of the project are:

A. Identify deficient conditions in terms of deferred maintenance, capital renewal, and building and life safety code non-compliance issues.

B. Recommend corrective action for each deficient condition.

C. Classify and prioritize deficient conditions, associated corrective ac-tions, and information concerning building systems and deficiency categories.

D. Provide cost estimates for each corrective action / project using published, industry standard construction, facilities maintenance and re-pair cost estimating data that reflects location and labor types as per the direction of the City.

E. Establish a building component depreciation analysis to forecast renewal investment rates required to maintain facilities over time
