The Bridgeport Exempted Village School District Board of Education is requesting statements of qualification for professional design services related to the construction of a Community Innovation, Health and Workforce Development Center with additional community space for its many public and private partnerships. There is not a current estimate available for the Community Innovation, Health and Workforce Development Center however, it is anticipated that it will include the following proposed component: Bridgeport Exempted Village Schools proposes building a 28,500 square foot facility on the grounds of its K-12 school. This building will house many opportunities for our students and community members. Given our region's poor health rankings and long-term economic distress, this unique ecosystem of programs and partners will provide access to healthcare services, education, and workforce services, which are briefly described below. This facility will be fully funded by the OFCC Appalachian Community Innovation Center Grant. The early site package would commence on or before June 1, 2025, and construction complete on or before October 31, 2026. The project must follow all Federal Prevailing Wage requirements. Certified payroll reports may be required at the Treasurer's request The Owner, through its duly authorized officials, reserves the right to reject any, part of, or all proposals and to waive any informality or minor defect pertaining to any proposal without the imposition of any form of liability. Firms submitting statements of qualifications for the available contract will be evaluated and ranked in order of their qualifications. Following this evaluation, the firms determined to be most qualified may be asked to meet with Bridgeport Exempted Village Schools representatives to present the firm's qualifications and proposed approach for the Project before the final selection is made. The firm ranked most qualified will be asked to provide a proposal with costs for services, staffing, and a more detailed design and construction schedule. Should the Owner be unable to reach an agreement with the top ranked firm, it shall move on to the next top ranked firm. An agreement for services will be prepared for the Project; the anticipated form of design services agreement will be a modified AIA agreement between owner and architect.
