Carter County is requesting qualifications for preliminary architecture services, cost estimate, and subsequent architecture design services to assist in a proposed project for Big Spring Senior Housing to be financed with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) grant program funds. The project consists of facility upgrades to the existing buildings and grounds. Information provided to the Carter County must include: 1. The specialized experience and technical competence of the firm with respect to building design of an educational facility or related work; and 2. The capacity and capability of the firm to perform the work in question, including specialized services, within a period of twenty four months from the project start date; and 3. The past record and performance of the firm with respect to such factors as control of costs, quality of work, and ability to meet schedules; and 4. The firm's proximity to and familiarity with the area in which the project is located; and 5. References from previous clients of related work with the firm within the past five years; and 6. Documentation of compliance with E-Verify requirements. The firm will be selected based on the above qualifications. Once the most qualified firm is selected, a cost for preliminary architectural work may be negotiated separately from the cost of architectural design. Contracting for these activities shall occur separately and costs/payments associated with each will be clearly defined. Contracts executed for final design and construction services shall be contingent upon the award of the grant commitment of all project funds. For more information contact the County Clerk at (573) 323-4527. Carter County and Big Spring Senior Housing are Equal Opportunity Employers and invite the submission of proposals from minority and women-owned firms.
