Site work and new construction of a detention facility in Burns, Oregon. Completed plans call for the construction of a detention facility; and for site work for a detention facility.

The Harney County Court, acting through Harney County, hereinafter referred to as Harney County is requesting Statements of Qualifications from interested and qualified Design-Builders (Respondents) to provide design, preconstruction, and design-build construction services for the project referenced above (Project). The delivery method for this Project is a modified form of Harney County's Design-Build process, called Collaborative Design-Build. This is a two-phased project delivery process: Phase 1-Design and Preconstruction Services to define the Project, hereinafter referred to as Phase 1, and Phase 2-Design-Build Construction Services to complete the design and construct the Project, hereinafter referred to as Phase 2. There will be separate agreements for each phase. This modified process selects the Design-Builder on qualifications and proposed fees (a design competition is not utilized). During Phase 1 Harney County will issue a design and preconstruction services agreement, under which the Design-Builder will: complete the programming; develop the schematic design; site determination; commit to a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) and schedule; start Design Development; confirm other criteria are appropriate; and obtain Harney County's approval. Upon receipt of the approval of the schematic design and Harney County's authorization to proceed, Design-Builder shall: continue with the design development; publish a set of the Design-Build Construction Documents; and establish and submit a GMP to Harney County. During Phase 2 Harney County will issue a GMP collaborative design-build agreement incorporating: the Design-Build Contract Documents; updated criteria; direct construction cost budget; GMP; contingency; remaining design fees; site management fees; payment and performance bond premiums; overhead and profit; and schedule as agreed upon in Phase 1. Harney County will not be obligated to proceed with Phase 2 with the selected Design-Builder. The Design-Builder is not obligated to proceed with Phase 2 if it so determines that the budget is not adequate, or for other business reasons. Phase 1 work products and electronic files of the Design-Builder are the property of Harney County. In the event Harney County and Design-Builder do not continue into Phase 2, these documents will be used by Harney County in any manner, including use as bridging documents for subsequent contracts. The Direct Construction Cost Budget is approximately $ 8,000,000.00 in hand, while pursuing additional funding. The Design-Builder is required to be prequalified by Harney County's Prequalification Program Administrator; refer to Request for Qualifications Section 4. The Architect is required to be licensed and bonded in the state of Oregon. All Respondents must be prequalified with Harney County one day prior to the Statement of Qualifications due date, or their Statement of Qualification submission will not be considered. The last day to submit an application for prequalification online to Harney County is indicated on the enclosed schedule. Each Respondent's prequalification rating must be greater than the budgeted Phase 2, Design-Build Construction Services agreement amount for this Project.
