OHIO COUNTY, INDIANA l. PROJECT INTRODUCTION: In accordance with IC 5-23-5, Ohio County, Indiana (the "County"), invites any and all qualified parties to submit Proposals and Statements of Qualifications to design, obtain financing, construct, renovate, and/or transfer improvements related to the renovation and/or relocation of County facilities (the "Project") under a public-private partnership. The purpose and intent of the Project is to fulfill essential operational and public safety needs for the community and to meet the County's obligations to provide safe and secure facilities for such purpose. PROJECT SCOPE: The selected proposer will provide all financing services, development services, design services, site work, labor and material to develop and construct the Project (including, but not limited to a new Sheriff's Office and Holding area). Although the County has a clear need for renovated facilities, the scope of the Project is not determined. 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, site analysis, design, and construction analysis to create a final scope and a guaranteed budget. The scoping period is anticipated to be a very intense and fastpaced process, with the goal of achieving a guaranteed price and final schematic design by Spring 2023 in order to accomplish a construction groundbreaking in Summer/Fall 2023. As part of the scoping process, the selected proposer may be asked to investigate potential improvements needed for structural, public safety, correctional, code compliance, accessibility, operational efficiency, and energy efficiency purposes. The County has multiple potential facilities that may need improvements, additions, or replacement, but have limited funds to do so. As part of the required scoping period deliverables, the selected team must provide constructability analysis, budgets, schedules, and other necessary information for the County to determine a priority list of the potential Projects. Upon receiving satisfactory scoping period deliverables from the selected offeror, the County will move forward with the Project and selected offeror via resolution or ordinance at a public hearing to complete the design, construction, and development of the Project. If (1) the selected offeror is unable to produce satisfactory deliverables including desirable financing terms and budget, or (2) the County determines that the Project is not necessary or wise based on the results of the scoping period, then the County will begin a new scoping period with another offeror or cancel this RFPQ process altogether. In either event, the resulting scoping period deliverables will be solely owned by the County, and the County may use the information from the scoping period deliverables for its use and benefit. Further, the County reserves the right to pursue additional or alternate procurement processes if necessary. Ill. PROPOSAL EVALUATION: The County has formed a committee to review the proposals received. The criteria which will be utilized in evaluating proposals are as follows: -Your experience developing similar projects -Your demonstrated ability and capacity to perform the work, including your reputation as indicated by your references for performing this type of work -Your approach to develop the Project -Your proposed financing solution to meet the requirements of IC 5-23 -Your proposed fees during the scoping period IV. PROPOSALS Please respond to the following requests: -A description of the project team -Identify at least three (3) similar public projects you have financed and developed. Include names, email addresses, and telephone numbers to be used as references relative to the listed projects. -A proposed schedule for the Project, including proposed dates to close on financing, to start and complete construction, and to convey the improvements to the County. Considering the scope is not developed at this point, please provide this schedule for example purposes only. The final schedule will be determined in the scoping period as part of the selected proposer's deliverables. -A proposed approach to the Project, including financing strategy. -The scoping process will be very intense and focused, in which time the selected proposer would need to prepare financing terms, construction/scope analysis, and a guaranteed budget sufficient for the County to make a decision on proceeding (or not) with the Project and/or with the selected proposer. Please identify fees that may be requested by your team during this process. You may offer an overall lump sum or multiple lump sums segregated by task or team member. V. General Conditions It should be understood that: -The County reserves the right to reject any and all Proposals/Statements of Qualifications at its sole discretion. -The County does not require you to submit a certified check or other evidence of financial responsibility with your proposal. -The price of the stated scoping period fees and the proposed financing solutions are important factors, but they are not the sole or determinative factor. The offeror's demonstrated experience, ability, and capacity to perform the work will be equally or more heavily weighted inasmuch as a favorable scoping fee by a proposer who is unable to demonstrate the capability to perform the work well will not suit the needs of the County. -All proposers will be accorded fair and equal treatment with respect to any opportunity for discussion and revision of proposals. The County may enter into discussions with proposers to clarify and assure a full understanding of proposals. -The County may refuse to disclose the contents of the Proposals/ Statement of Qualifications during discussions with eligible proposers. -This Project will be procured under IC 5 5-23, and therefore the selected proposer will not be subject to further procurement processes under IC 5 36-1-12 or any other statute. However, the selected proposer will be required to provide a performance bond for 50% of the construction costs and a payment bond for 100% of construction costs per both IC 5 5-23 and IC 5 36-1-12. -Proposing firms shall not contact County Commissioners, Council Council members, or any other public officials during the RFPQ process other than the RFPQ Committee's representative (the "Representative") listed below, unless authorized or directed to do so by the Representative. All correspondence and questions for this RFPQ should be directed to the Representative as follows: Commissioners of Ohio County ahochstrasser ohiocountyin.gov -The County reserves the right to enter into a Scoping Agreement with a proposer for preliminary design and development services prior to the County agreeing to move forward with the Project. After the scoping period, the RFPQ Committee shall either make a recommendation to award the public-private agreement to a proposer, engage another proposer, or shall terminate the request for proposal process.
