The St. Marys County Government seeks Qualification Proposals to pre-qualify bidders for a subsequent Public-Private Partnership to Design-Build-Finance the Countys Animal Shelter Construction, in accordance with this solicitation. Project Description:
Open admission (No/Low Kill) Shelter for St. Mary's County has an estimated project cost range of $2,971,375 to $3,511,625 per DES presentation to CSMC on October 24, 2017, which is based upon the information provided in the Animal Shelter Feasibility Study. This is assumed to be building cost only without site development, which should be at least 15%. This number could increase based upon ultimate site selection and such variable factors as road entrance improvements, grading, clearing, utility connections, SWM and paving. Planning estimate for construction at this point should be increased to approximately $4,040,000, increasing the current site development by $205,000. If the construction schedule changes a 3% escalation on construction per year will be recommended. Construction Management costs typically run 5% of construction cost, so an additional $200,000 is added to ensure the construction meets the requirements of the design. A planning phase contingency of 20% is added as well ($808,000), which will be adjusted as the project develops from the planning to the design phase. Connectivity within the building and to the county network is estimated to $90,000. “The property known as FDR Blvd, Outparcel A, Pod 2 (9.6 acres) has been identified as the potential site. Consideration will be given for a private developer to lease county land for a design/build project.” The costs of this project is subjected to change. As of April 2, 2019 this project is seeking Qualification Proposals to pre-qualify bidders. The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time. A firm timeline has not been established.* *Project information, including timeline and contacts, has been obtained through public sources.
