In Order to Make the Construction Costs as Efficient as Possible, the City is Submitting This Rfpq to Identify a Team That is Capable of Scoping, Developing, and Constructing the Project.

The Final Project Scope Will Be Determined Through a Scoping Period With the Selected Offeror, During Which the Selected Offeror Will Be Required to Provide Site Analysis, Design-assist Services, and Construction Analysis to Create a Final Scope and a Guaranteed Budget. The City Has Already Selected Hwc as the Engineer for the Project Under a Separate Procurement Process, and, Accordingly, the Offeror Should Not Respond With a Design Firm on Its Team.

Upon Receiving Satisfactory Scoping Period Deliverables From the Selected Offeror, the City Will Move Forward With the Project and Selected Offeror via Resolution or Ordinance at a Public Hearing to Complete the Construction and Development of the Project. If (1) the Selected Offeror is Unable to Produce Satisfactory Deliverables Including Desirable Scoping Documents and Budget, or (2) the City Determines That the Project is Not Necessary or Wise Based on the Results of the Scoping Period, Then the City Will Begin a New Scoping Period With Another Offeror or Cancel This Rfpq Process Altogether.
