Renovation of a municipal facility in Vail, Colorado. Completed plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

The Town of Vail was awarded full funding CDOT FASTER FACILITES grant for the electrical system upgrades required for installation of electric bus chargers in anticipation of converting the town's bus fleet from diesel to battery electric buses award number 020133 in May 2019. The project is located at the Town of Vail Public Works Facility at 1309 Elkhorn Drive Vail CO. The existing electrical service for the Public Works Shop will need to be redesigned to not only accommodate the current conversion but anticipate future loading as the bus fleet transitions from diesel to electric over time. The existing service upgrade will start from the current Holy Cross Transmission lines. It is anticipated a new service connection, transformer upgrade and service l line will be required. These should be sized for the eventual full electrification of the bus fleet. A new electrical room, service panel and room for expansion as required for future expansion. All circuits designed and routed through out the bus barn facility to efficiently now and in the future allow for charger installation. The Town is interested in offsetting the energy use with solar generation, to provide charging capabilities at night, battery storage would be an option. Back-up power generation capabilities will also be required This Project generally involves professional design engineering and related services in connection with the new electrical service for bus chargers., The major project components include Utility company upgrades, new transformer, service connection to the building, new electrical room and services, charger circuits and charger installation. Options for solar generation and storage operations, back up power needs, not only for the current chargers but for the full bus facility to properly operate electric buses within the town of Vail. It is anticipated the design process will include schematic options and costs to make informed decisions prior to proceeding to design development and the entitlement process. Once entitlements are secured, production of construction documents necessary to obtain pricing and all the necessary permits for construction, during construction providing construction administration services and finally project closeout. All design shall meet all current codes and regulations. Specific services will include, but are not limited to, utility coordination, geotechnical engineering, survey, structural engineering, architectural services, utility coordination/relocation and design, environmental work and permitting. This figure is all inclusive, and includes all survey, geotechnical investigation, design, utility relocation, construction, construction inspection, administrative, and all other costs of whatsoever nature. This RFQ is for Professional Design Services (Project Manager must be a licensed design profession al in the State of Colorado) work necessary to complete construction bid documents for the improvements. Project deliverables will include review of Conceptual Design, Schematic design options, Design Development, Entitlements, 50% Construction plans, specifications and estimate, and Final Design, (95%) plans, specifications and estimate necessary permit plans and specifications and Construction Bid Documents (100%) with final Advertisement estimate. Provide Construction Administration and project closeout. The Town of Vail reserves the right to reject all or any submittal received as a result of this request, to negotiate with all qualified sources, or to cancel all or part of the RFQ.
