As an Employer, Sullivan County faces challenges in the attraction and retention of workforce related to the lack of available and affordable childcare in the area. Sullivan County seeks qualifications and proposals from well-qualified firms to conduct a feasibility study to evaluate the need, benefit, and potential feasibility for a childcare center located on the County's Unity campus to serve employees. Deliverables for this feasibility study include: the current demand for childcare services among County employees; types of childcare services to meet the demand; conceptual architectural designs (single line drawings); and estimated construction, startup, and operational costs for all options. Conceptual architectural drawings must be done based on two assumptions: 1) construction of a new facility located on the County's Unity campus; and 2) modification of the existing Ahern Building on the County's Unity campus. Information gathered from the study will assist Sullivan County in determining priorities, seek approvals, and apply for funding in early 2024; therefore, the feasibility study must be complete by January 31, 2024. All questions can be directed to Mary Bourque at mbourque@sullivancountynh.gov. Answers to questions will be posted weekly as addenda on the Sullivan County website. The deadline for questions is August 22, 2023, at 4pm. There is no site visit planned for this RFQ/RFP.
