Work will start as soon as this Contract is executed, anticipated to be November 21, 2022. The selected firm will work collaboratively with a Project User Group to develop Programmatic requirements and a Conceptual Design as defined in the Contract. The selected firm must be ready to commit key personnel to the Project immediately following selection and must be able to perform the work within the projected schedule, included in Attachment C. Upon conclusion of the Programmatic and Conceptual Design Phase of work, it is the intent of the Owner to execute an Architect Agreement (Attachment B) for the remaining work required to develop the project from Schematic Design through Closeout. The Programming and Conceptual Design Phase is expected to be complete by the end of December 2022. The method of contractor selection has not been determined at this time.
