Project Description In 2020, the City engaged Hitchcock Design Group to provide construction documents for in-river and riverfront redevelopment, which will be completed by November 2023. The City received approval from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources in 2021 and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and the US Army Corps of Engineers in 2023. At this time, the City anticipates funding largely through cash reserves, supported by TIF. The Construction Delivery Method is expected to be Construction Manager as Constructor (CMc) (Indiana Code Section 5-32-2-5). The project will also be supported by READI grants, Next Level Trail grants, donations, and other funding mechanisms. The City wishes to engage a CMc to complete the following scope of work for this project, estimated at approximately $14m total project budget, of which approximately $12m is construction costs. Major Site Elements: o Low Head Dam: Removal of the concrete encased stone dam o Riffle: Installation of a stone riffle across approximately 2/3's of the river width o In-Water Recreation: Installation of a white water-style recreation channel across approximately 1/3 of the river width o Riverbank reinforcement o Extension of the People Trail, Columbus's greenway system o Two access points for water recreation o Riverfront amphitheater area o Landscaping and signage o Interpretive signage for the historic low head dam o Site preparation for site access and staging o Site Description o The Site is located within the downtown area. o The Site is in a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) area. o All project approvals are through the Columbus Redevelopment Commission and Columbus City Council. o The design team is in-place and construction documents are 90% complete. The construction documents have been approved by the various state and federal regulatory agencies and must be followed. Modifications to the plans must be approved by the USACE. CMc Scope of Work Provide all standard CMc services outlined in a typical Owner/Construction Manager as Constructor A133-2009 Contract. If additional services are anticipated by your team, please outline them in your proposal, as well as associated costs. The selected CMc will be required to furnish an agreement including the City of Columbus's standard contract terms. In the Proposer's response, each Proposer must affirm their ability to meet these terms shall be acknowledged in their proposal. The City of Columbus intends to establish a Guaranteed Maximum Price through the CMc contract. The intent is to establish a GMP at the earliest date possible. In no case shall this be later than after bids have been received from first-tier subcontractors and prior to construction commencing. The GMP will also identify a detailed construction schedule and the required date of substantial completion. The Redevelopment Commission encourages XBE participation, including all minority, women, and veteran owned businesses. During the project, the CMc is required to submit documentation and follow regulations associated with: READI grants, Next Level Trails grants, USACE permits, IDEM permits, DNR permits, and INDOT permits.
