(2) Make recommendations to the Building Committee and City based on this evaluation. (3) Upon providing these recommendations -- design, finance, and construct the Project to the extent that the City and Police Department determine a recommendation for renovations or new facilities are necessary and wise.

To be clear, the scope of the Project has not been determined at this time. The final Project scope will be determined through a scoping period with the selected proposer, during which the selected proposer will be required to provide financing terms, analysis to create a final scope, site analysis, and a guaranteed budget. The scoping period will likely be a very intense exercise with all required analysis being delivered by the selected proposer in Fall, 2022. Upon receiving satisfactory scoping period, deliverables from the selected offer, determining a need for a Project, the City s Board of Public Works and Safety may move forward with the Project and selected offer via resolution at a public hearing. If the selected offer is unable to produce satisfactory deliverables (including desirable financing terms and budget) or if it is determined that no need exists for the Project, the City s Board of Public Works and Safety will begin a new scoping period with another offeror or cancel this RFPQ process altogether. The City has formed a committee to review the proposals received.

Please identify fees that may be requested by your team during this process. You may offer hourly rates, an overall lump sum, or multiple lump sums segregated by task.
