Senior – Community Center Building Project
Construction Manager at Risk – Request for Proposals
1. Introduction:
The Town of Johnstown (Town) is requesting proposals (RFP) from Construction Manager
at Risk (CMAR) firms to provide construction services for the Senior – Community Center
Building Project (Project).
The Town is currently in the design phase of the Project and coordination with the selected
firm would begin immediately following an agreement execution. Construction would
then be scheduled to begin immediately after the completion of the design phase with an
estimated projected completion date of April 2027.
Project Summary:
The Town of Johnstown is a rapidly growing community in Northern Colorado. In 2010,
the population was about 9,900; in 2020, 17,400; and today Johnstown is approximately
20,225. As the community has grown, so has the Town’s Senior/Active Adult Community
and the Town desires to construct a facility to meet the needs of this critical demographic.
As part of the planning efforts of this facility, the Town has partnered with the Thompson
River Parks and Recreation (TRPR) District to build a joint facility that will serve both
entities and the entire community.
The Town has acquired the site for this facility which is depicted in the attachments to this
RFP. The facility when constructed is expected to house space for the Senior Center and
TRPR. The site is located at the southeast corner of Centennial Drive and Parish Avenue in
Johnstown, Colorado. The project consists of constructing a new, single story, slab on
grade building with an anticipated finished square footage between 14,000 and 17,000
square feet on an approximately 5-7 acre lot. The configuration of the space is estimated
to be distributed as follows: Senior Center Area – 5,000 sq. ft.; Event Hall/Multi-Purpose
Room/Kitchen – 5,000 sq. ft; and TRPR Area – 5,000 sq. ft. Work will include all necessary
site improvements associated with the construction of the building, such as, parking lots,
landscaping, earthwork, storm drainage, roadway improvements, utilities, and all other
general site work associated with construction of a new building.
Contractors submitting a response to the RFP will be asked at a minimum to state their
qualifications, understanding of and experience relating to the Project and offer their
methodology for meeting the Town’s goals.
