The Town of York, Maine is soliciting your qualifications for Construction Manager at Risk services related to the renovation and expansion construction of a new Town Hall. The Construction Manager (CM) will provide pre-construction services to the Town prior to commencement of construction. At the completion of the Construction Documents the CM will bid the documents to qualified subcontractors. The CM will prepare a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and, upon its acceptance, will build the Project. The CM will be expected to work closely with the Town and Architect and to propose cost and timesaving alternatives. The town is inviting CM's to participate in the following selection process: The Project consists of the site development, renovation of the historic building, and the construction of a new two-story addition with basement. The existing 212- year-old town hall is wood frame/timber frame. It has a footprint of 2,900 square feet and a total 5760 square feet. The addition will have a footprint of 3,000 square feet and a total of 8,300 square feet. While it is known that the existing building will have a full interior renovation, the extent of the renovation is currently being evaluated and will require input from the chosen Construction Manager. The project is on town-owned land, part of a shared Town Green with the First Parish Church, located at 186 York Street. York Town Hall is in the York Historic District and a National Historic District. Approximately three prospective CMs will be selected by Aug 4, 2022 for interviews on Wednesday, Aug 10, 2022. The schedule for the project is for the CM to work in conjunction with the design team to develop the construction documents by the end of 2022 and to bid to subcontractors at the beginning of 2023. Construction on the first phase to occur in Spring 2023. To minimize interruption of Town services to the citizens of York, the project will be conducted in two phases. The first phase is to construct a new addition while the existing Town Hall conducts normal business. When the new addition is complete, move the Town Clerk and Finance Department into the new addition to continue Town business. The second phase involves vacating the existing Town Hall and renovating the building.
