City's Intent (Potential 3.1A and 3.1B)

PURPOSE

This is a qualification and proposal-based procurement process. The purpose of this RFP is to seek Statements of Qualifications and Proposals from highly qualified contractors to provide all personnel, materials, equipment, labor and services necessary to perform Construction Management at Risk ("CM at Risk") services for Fire Station No. 23 and Design and Construction Services Proposal for Fire Station No. 27, as more fully described in Section 3 of this RFP. Firms submitting Responses shall follow the process described herein. The City intends to enter into a contract with the successful Respondent to complete the Projects in accordance with the terms, conditions, and specifications contained in this RFP.

INTRODUCTION

Fire Station 27:

Fire Station 27 is a new, approximately 10,000-square-foot fire station to be constructed at 9135 Fouts Road, Roswell, Georgia 30076. The facility will be located on a 6.76-acre site, with approximately 4.49 acres of land disturbed as part of the development.

The design of Fire Station 27 is intended to serve as the prototype for future fire stations constructed by the City of Roswell, establishing a consistent standard for functionality, efficiency, and operational readiness.

The station will include eight bunk rooms; four shower/restroom facilities; a full kitchen; a combined dining and dayroom; multiple storage areas; administrative offices; firefighter gear lockers; a fitness room; and an apparatus bay capable of housing three fire engines. The facility has been designed to support the daily operational needs of fire personnel while providing flexibility to accommodate future growth and evolving service demands.

Fire Station 27 will be a Construction Services Proposal based project, and proposals should include a lump sum

Construction amount.

SCHEDULE

The City intends to initiate construction of Fire Station 27 first. It is anticipated that construction of Fire Station 23 will commence approximately three to four months after the start of Fire Station 27. This phased approach will allow the City to apply lessons learned from the initial project, maintain consistency in design and construction, and improve overall project efficiency while advancing both facilities on an accelerated schedule.

BONDING CAPACITY

Based on the anticipated scope of the Project, Respondents must demonstrate a minimum bonding capacity of $10 million per project

3.1B

PURPOSE

This is a qualification and proposal-based procurement process. The purpose of this RFP is to seek Statements of Qualifications from highly qualified contractors to provide all personnel, materials, equipment, labor and services necessary to perform Construction Management at Risk ("CM at Risk") services for Fire Station No. 23 and Design and Lump Sum Proposal for Firestation No. 27, as more fully described in Section 3 of this RFQC. Firms submitting Responses shall follow the process described herein. The City intends to enter into a contract with the successful Respondent to complete the Projects in accordance with the terms, conditions, and specifications contained in this RFQC. The City of Roswell intends to award one (1) proposer with two (2) contracts, one for each Fire Station.

INTRODUCTION

Fire Station 23:

Fire Station 23 will utilize the City of Roswell's Fire Station 27 prototype design, creating consistency in station layout, operational efficiency, and long-term maintenance across the City's fire facilities. By replicating the established prototype, the City will reduce design costs, streamline permitting, and accelerate future construction schedules while providing firefighters with a familiar and functional work environment.

The new facility will be constructed on a 1.37-acre site that will be delivered as a pad-ready site prior to vertical construction. Site preparation will include grading and the extension of utilities and stormwater infrastructure to the property line, allowing the building contractor to efficiently commence construction of the facility. This approach will reduce construction risk, improve schedule certainty, and simplify coordination between site development and vertical construction.

The completed facility will provide modern living quarters, administrative offices, apparatus storage, and operational support spaces necessary to meet the current and future needs of the City of Roswell Fire Department while maintaining consistency with the City's long-term public safety facility standards.

Please note: This will be an open-book contract with all estimates, subcontractor/vendor quotes, subcontracts, purchase orders, and financial reporting available to the City at all times.

The City has elected to utilize Construction Manager at Risk delivery method for the Project and desires for the selection process to take place in a manner that allows for the Construction Manager ("CM") to join other members of the Project team as early in the design process as possible. The intent is to foster a team approach for the design, estimating, permitting and construction phases of the Project. Hussey Gay Bell, the City's architect ("A/E") will provide the programming, category three/four structural analysis, design work, and contract administration associated with the Project. The goal is to leverage the knowledge and expertise of all team members to provide the City with the best possible results by delivering the Project on schedule and within budget.

COLLABORATIVE APPROACH

The Project shall be completed by using a collaborative approach. The City shall administer the Project internally and contract directly with both the Architectural & Engineering and CM.

The CM shall function as a professional consultant during the early design phases, and provide advice on constructability, schedule, cost, category three/four cost analysis, value management, logistics, and any other areas in which construction expertise is valuable. Before the completion of construction documents, the CM shall provide a guaranteed maximum price ("GMP") for the Project based upon drawings and descriptive specifications prepared by the A/E. This GMP shall be incorporated by change order into the CM at Risk contract. If recommended by the CM and approved by the City, early construction packages (or early release of materials) will be bid and administered by the CM. The CM has the responsibility of ensuring that all construction, whether in separate early packages or not, is provided within the GMP.

The basis of the CM at Risk contract will be reimbursement of actual costs, with a fixed fee and a not to exceed GMP.

SCHEDULE

The City intends to initiate construction of Fire Station 27 first. It is anticipated that construction of Fire Station 23 will commence approximately three to four months after the start of Fire Station 27. This phased approach will allow the City to apply lessons learned from the initial project, maintain consistency in design and construction, and improve overall project efficiency while advancing both facilities on an accelerated schedule.

BONDING CAPACITY

Based on the anticipated scope of the Project, Respondents must demonstrate a minimum bonding capacity of $10 million per project

Construction Project Manager for the City

The successful Respondent shall report to the Construction Project Manager for the City ("CPM"). The CPM shall be a representative of the City on the Project and be the successful Respondent's point of contact for all communications with the City and its consultants. The CPM shall have authority to act on behalf of the City as defined in the CM at Risk contract with the City, including matters relating to performance of contract requirements, timely performance, changes to the work, and quality of the work. The successful Respondent agrees to take direction from the CPM, and to make all Project documentation available upon request.

No specification implied or expressed is intended to limit competition. The specifications contained herein are intended as a guide for the goods and services on which Respondents are to submit a Response. These requirements and other specifications are not designed to prevent any Respondent from submitting a Response.
