The selected architect will work with and at the direction of the Town Supervisor, the Building Inspector, and the Police Chief. The conceptual design(s) will incorporate the following: o Twice the square footage of the existing 1,000 sf building o An expanded locker room and increased Police Department storage space o A court clerk office and court storage space o Headquarters for the Office of Emergency Management and space for a post-event shelter o Compliance with state-mandated requirements and other requirements as determined by the Police Chief and Building Inspector o A cost-effective construction plan o Alignment with the character of the Town as outlined in the Comprehensive Plan and the Town Code The Town reserves the right to select the architect whose proposal best meets the requirements of the RFP, and not necessarily those with the lowest estimated budget. The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time.
