SCOPE OF WORK 2.1. General MUTD is soliciting proposals from interested firms/contractors for Construction Manager at Risk services, where the basis of payment is the Cost of Work Plus a Fee with a Guaranteed Maximum Price. The Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) will team with MUTD's Project Manager and Architect/Engineer (Wendel Architects) to successfully design and construct the proposed new Missoula Urban Transportation District Operations and Maintenance Facility, to be located at West Broadway/Whippoorwill Dr. Missoula, Montana. 2.2. Background MUTD is Missoula's community transit service and is governed by a seven-member board of directors. MUTD is the direct recipient of FTA funding for Missoula Montana. MUTD's service area population does not exceed 100,000 people. The agency provides hourly fixed-route service, seven days per week, on twelve routes as well as paratransit ADA services. MUTD's fleet consists of thirty (30) vehicles housed in a gated, fenced yard at the current operations facility. Bus storage yard has been expanded once and cannot be expanded any more. 2.3. Project Description MUTD is undertaking the design and construction of a new Maintenance Operations and Administrative Building (MOAB) located at West Broadway/Whippoorwill Drive in Missoula, Montana. The project is proposed to be constructed on a 10 to 20-acre parcel that will allow for substantial growth of the MUTD fleet and facility needs for the foreseeable future. The tract MUTD is currently considering is 18.5 acres. The MOAB will include administrative, operations, and maintenance functions that will replace the existing facility which has proven to be too small as MUTD grows. The new facility will include the following spaces as generally allocated with the plan: Administrative - 3,000 SF Operations - 7,000 SF Maintenance - 15,000 SF Service - 4,000 SF Bus Storage - 30,000 SF The total facility will be approximately 60,000 SF. These quantities are estimates only and will change throughout the design process. In addition to the building, the project will be designed ultimately for approximately eighty-four (84) bus parking spaces with approximately thirty (30) being built in this initial phase. Employee and visitor parking will equal approximately 206 spaces with 127 spaces initially built. Parking for the buses, including all circulation space, is anticipated to be concrete while employee parking will be typical asphalt. The project includes grading of the site, possible borrow or fill material, facilities, and all equipment needed for both conditioning of the space and mission specific to transit operations and maintenance. MUTD currently has a mixed fleet of diesel and battery electric buses. The project will be designed for one hundred percent (100%) battery electric buses with appropriate backup generation in the event of an incident where power may be lost for an extended period of time.
