Antrim County is seeking proposals for Professional Construction Management (CM) Services for the construction of a Public Safety Center. The project will be funded in part through a $25.5 million construction bond proposal that is on the November 5, 2024 ballot. The project in its entirety will include architectural design, engineering, construction, construction management, and equipment. Antrim County reserves the right to accept and/or reject any and all bids, to waive any irregularity in a bid, and to accept that bid which, in the opinion of the County Commissioners, is in the best interest of the County. The County envisions that the construction approach for this facility is assignment to a CM that will be selected to participate as a full team member with Antrim County and the Architect/Engineer (A/E) firm chosen by Antrim County. It is the County's goal to begin site work in the fall of 2025, with the bulk of the construction to take place in 2026. Target move-in date is the spring of 2027. After selection, Antrim County will execute a contract with the CM to provide Construction Management services for the project. After contracts with the CM and the A/E firms have been negotiated and signed, the project may start immediately. The A/E and CM firms, together with the County, will work to design, estimate, and build the project under the project's maximum $32.5 million budget, which includes site work, construction, technology, the necessary furniture, fixtures, and equipment costs, contingency, and the cost of the current jail's demolition. The CM firm will assist with value engineering throughout the project. Scheduling will be a joint effort between the CM firm, Antrim County, and the A/E firm. The Contractor chosen by Antrim County shall not discriminate against any worker, employee, or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, height, weight, marital status, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, (except where requirements as to age is based upon a bona fide occupational qualification), or disability (that is unrelated to the individual's ability to perform duties of a particular job or position) pursuant to 1976 PA 453, as amended, MCL 37.2101 et seq. (Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act). The County of Antrim reserves the right to accept and/or reject any and all submittals, to waive any irregularity in a submittal, and to accept the submittals which, in the opinion of the Board of Commissioners, is in the best interest of the County.
