The Dublin Fire Department is located within the City of Dublin, Laurens County, Georgia along Interstate 16 in Central Georgia. The department currently has two fire stations located at 535 Saxon St. and 200 Shamrock Dr. in Dublin. Dublin Fire Department provides primarily fire response with rescue and some EMS services to 16 square miles of land and the 16,000 residents within the City of Dublin, responding at over 1,400 calls each year. Our department operates with 37 employees, 34 line personnel that will increase to 36 with this station, two admin and one inspector. The new station will need housing for 6 personnel 24/7 and administration offices for the fire chief and administrative assistant with lobby staging area for visitors. Dublin City Council is committed to developing a professional, adequately staffed and equipped fire department and requires appropriate station facilities to meet this commitment. Firms with relevant experience in designing fire stations and the qualifications to perform these services are encouraged to submit a proposal. Firms may partner with other firms to ensure that the design team provides the appropriate level of expertise in the required disciplines. However, design teams must designate one lead firm. The lead firm shall be responsible for meeting all of the requirements of the proposal. The purpose of the RFQ process is to identify the firm and proposal the City determines are best suited to support the City in this important project. Following an analysis of the responses to this RFQ, firm(s) may be invited for interviews, with one firm being selected for further negotiation. The firm ultimately awarded a contract by the City will provide services as directed by the City of Dublin. The City is seeking a firm to design a fire station that meets the needs of the department. The firm shall perform a site analysis, develop a conceptual schematic design, and provide a construction cost estimate. After owner approval of the selected schematic designs, the design team will be authorized to begin design development and proceed with the creation of construction documents. Prior to the design development stage, the City, working with the selected consultant, may select a Construction Manager to manage bidding and construction of the project and to provide input on the design development and specifications. Design & Construction - This phase will involve preparation of all remaining architectural and engineering services related to the final design of the concept selected by the City through completion of construction including design, construction documentation, preparation of bid documents, and assistance during contractor selection The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time.
