Renovation of an educational facility in Denver, Colorado. Completed plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

Estimated Construction Cost: $700,000 FLCC Phase 1 and $1,300,000 FLCC Phase 2 The purpose of the project is to replace aging equipment and improve reliability to the emergency chilled water system that serves critical spaces in the Fitzsimons (Q20 - Fitz) building and Vivarium Air Handling Units in Research 1 (P18 R1), Research 2 (P15 R2), and the new Anschutz Health Sciences Building (P12 - AHSB) for the University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus (CU-Denver | AMC). The project will be broken into two (2) phases. Phase 1 is devoted to preparation, including piping distribution modifications, that will allow the distribution to be looped and provide circulation reliability without trigging emergency transfer. Phase 2 is devoted to the replacement of the existing emergency chiller plants chillers located in the Fitzsimons building. The successful CM/GC firm will be expected to provide services for Phase 1 and Phase. The anticipated FLCC is $700,000 for phase 1 and $1,300,000 for phase 2. Refer to the included Appendix G for the schematic design set and scope included in each phase. The current project scope, schedule, and phasing plan is based on approval of state funding for phase 2 that would be available beginning in July of 2022. In the event phase 2 is not funded this project may be cancelled, delayed, or altered including the work currently funded in Phase 1. A funding decision for Phase 2 is expected by end of May 2022. The shortlisted firms should provide a cost proposal based on the total of Phase 1 and 2 combined. The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus anticipates using a Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) approach to project delivery. A Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and an updated project duration schedule will be established by the Architect/Engineer and the Construction Manager/General Contractor in conjunction with the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The CM/GC will evaluate, among other things, availability of materials and labor, project schedule, project costs as they relate to the established budget, constructability, and will work closely with the Architect/Engineer and the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus throughout the planning, design and construction phases of the project. Construction is estimated to commence University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The process to be used in the selection of the CM/GC is comprised of two steps. STEP I is the Submittal of Prequalification as described in Section II (D). STEP II is the Oral Interview/Cost Proposal as described in detail in Section III. A Jury Panel of individuals who will be involved in the project and/or understand the required services associated with Construction Management/General Contracting will evaluate responses to this RFP for both STEPS. Upon completion of the evaluation of the Submittals of Prequalification, a limited number of firms will be invited to the oral interviews. Sealed fee proposals will be required only from those firms who are interviewed and are to be submitted as indicated in this RFP. Both qualifications and cost will be considered in the final ranking of firms with qualifications given 70% of the value of the weighted criteria and fees for the Cost/ Proposal given 30%.
