Questions related to this solicitation must be submitted in writing via email by 5:00 PM EST on Friday, January 30, 2026, to: Randall Brookshire | Engineering Project Manager | rbrookshire@garnernc.gov Selection Date: March/April 2026 Purpose: The Town of Garner is soliciting Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) submissions from professional architectural and civil firms to perform design and professional services for the redevelopment of the Town of Garner Public Works Facility Center. Teams may consist of a single firm that provides all design components or multiple consultants that make up the design team. If the SOQ consists of a team, there must be a clear prime identified. Background: The Town of Garner Public Works Center, located at 610 Rand Mill Road, was constructed in 1980. Significant growth in both the Town area and population have steadily increased the demand on the Public Works Department. In October 2020, a Space Needs Assessment was prepared by IBI Group and WithersRavenel in coordination with the Town Public Works Department. The final assessment, dated October 20, 2020, is attached to this RFQ for reference as Appendix 1. The report concluded that: ...these buildings have reached the end of their useful life and are now facing increasingly significant maintenance, repair and replacement costs. The majority of these buildings are nearly forty years old and were likely planned to only accommodate a twenty-year horizon. The Public Works Center currently houses the following: o Administration Office for Public Works o Town employee parking o Workshops and Garages o Work Fleet Vehicles o Stockpiled Materials (inside and outside of sheds) o Paving Equipment o Car Wash Facilities o Asphalt Paved Travel and Storage Areas o Stormwater Management Facilities o Unpaved Storage Areas (gravel and dirt) Scope of Services: The scope of services will generally include design of all necessary improvements for the proposed project, as described herein, needed to reach and prepare Final Design Documents. A detailed breakdown of the scope of services is as follows: 1. Review and update/amend the Space Needs Assessment from October 2020 based on actual Public Works growth documented. See Appendix 1. 2. Architectural/Engineering plans for the demolition and reconstruction/expansion of the Public Works Facility. This may include, but is not necessarily limited to, the facilities noted below: o Administration Office for Public Works - 26,500 square feet (two floors) o Workshop - 17,000 square feet o Warehouse Storage Building - 25,000 square feet o Fleet Vehicle Shop - 20,000 square feet o Fleet Vehicle Enclosed Storage - 18,500 square feet o Fleet Vehicle Covered Storage - 70,500 square feet o Enclosed Salt Storage Building - 5,500 square feet o Police Admin. Building - 6,500 square feet o Police Impound Yard (Concrete Pad) - 11,000 square feet o Laydown Yard (Concrete Pad) - 40,000 square feet o Town Staff Parking - 120 spots o Visitor and Staff Parking - 75 spots o Fleet Staging Parking - 85 spots o Car Wash Facilities - Approx. 1 acre, including paving and car wash building o Asphalt Paved Travel and Storage Areas - Site Interconnectivity o Stormwater Management Facilities as Required by Town of Garner o Utility Layout and Connectivity o Water o Sanitary Sewer o Storm Sewer o Electric o Communications 3. Also to be included in Design: o Topographic Survey o Private Utility Locates - within limits of property o Geotechnical Report - to include borings as needed to provide earthwork recommendations o Wetland Delineations o Traffic Impact Analysis 4. Cost Estimates for facility upgrades, separated out by each component noted above. Cost estimates will need to consider current construction prices and price increases over the timeline for construction (the next 4 to 5 years) for budgeting. 5. To achieve the final expanded layout, the Town of Garner purchased additional property immediately to the west of the current public works property. This additional property will approximately double the public works grounds (from 9 acres existing to 18 acres proposed). 6. A phased construction approach will need to be considered, as the Town will need to continue their operations out of the Public Works grounds. 7. All necessary permitting required for construction including, but not limited to NCDEQ, NCDOT, City of Raleigh, and the Town of Garner, will be required.
