2 REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS PLEASANT GROVE CITY FIRE STATION AND POLICE AND COURTS BUILDINGS I. Introduction: This is a Request for Proposals from qualified architectural firms to provide services for the design and construction of a new Fire Station and Police, Dispatch and Courts Building in Pleasant Grove, Utah. It is anticipated that there will be 3 phases to this project. Phase 1 of the project will be, prior to any design, hiring an architectural firm to assist the City in the hiring of a Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC). Phase 2 of the project includes preparing a detailed design and construction drawings of the facilities, including specifications, construction costs and a schedule. Pleasant Grove City has already done some space needs analysis and programming which can be used in implementing Phase 2 of the project. Phase 3 will be for construction services such as review of submittals, conformance to the facility design, change orders, and project closeout. II. Scope of Work: The Facilities will be built on an existing City owned property. The preferred site is the block that fronts 100 E. between 100 S. and 200 S. The property is adjacent to a park and it is anticipated that no park space will be used for the project. An old facility called the Old Rec Center will need to be razed to complete the project. To our knowledge, adequate water, sewer, power, and natural gas utilities are in the adjacent right-of-ways. The following is a brief description of the known requirements to be considered in this project: A. Work with an Owner s Committee composed of two Pleasant Grove residents knowledgeable in construction practices and key City staff including the Judge of the Justice Court, City Engineer, City Administrator and both the Fire and Police Chiefs. The Owner s Committee will work with you to evaluate the needed square footage and determine a feasible design for the new site and building. The proposed plan will accommodate all City Fire, Police, Dispatch and Court functions. B. Plan the site for its ultimate configuration. Develop facility program detailing all spaces with assigned square footage and needs. Although some of this information has been gathered it will need to be reviewed with Architect and Owner s Committee. Group recommended needs into logical groups so that project can be scaled if necessary to match available funding. Page 2 of 7

3 C. Prepare project programming and schematic design in Phase 2, including 15% level drawings, with floor plans, site plans, sections, elevations, renderings, preliminary cost estimate and schedule for approval by City. D. Prepare project detailed design including 50%, 90%, and final construction drawings, specifications, cost estimate and schedule for City approval that can be used by a CM/GC for bidding purposes, or if required by the City, advertised using a traditional bid/build process. E. Provide project construction phase services in Phase 3, including review of budget, construction materials, and methods, cost estimating, project phasing, shop drawings and submittals, interior and exterior colors and fixture selections, construction revisions and change orders, etc. Coordinate with CM/GC during project closeout, in preparing closeout documentation, maintenance and operation manuals, warranties, systems testing, etc. Provide As-built record drawings to City in electronic ACAD and PDF formats. F. Coordinate with other affected agencies and/or organizations, Rocky Mountain Power, Utah County, Questar, Comcast, or any other agency that might not be listed. Coordinate all required permitting. G. Attend public meetings as needed to make presentations and lead discussions on the project. Some of these meetings may include meetings with neighboring property owners, developers, Planning Commission, and the City Council. H. Meet all local, State, and Federal laws, building codes, and standards for facilities of this nature. Project will be required to go through Pleasant Grove City s building permit and site plan process. I. Schedule and hold regular meetings with the Owner s Committee during all phases of the project. Most meetings will include Design/Construction Team to review project progress and resolve issues. Attend substantial completion, final completion and warranty inspections. J. Incorporate the Owner s Committee design preliminary requirements listed below in the initial evaluation: a. Provide office space for: Police/Dispatch, Fire and Court departments, climate controlled computer equipment room, large and small conference rooms, Court Chambers with audio/visual equipment which will also be used as City Council Chambers, break room, restrooms, etc. b. Provide adequate mechanical and electrical equipment for proper ventilation, air conditioning, and heating of all offices, etc. Lighting should exceed minimum industry standards for professional office and be energy efficient. c.

Establish building/yard elevations and designs to coordinate with existing and neighboring site conditions. Building design must comply with Pleasant Grove City Downtown Design Standards. i. Provide exterior and remote security lighting that exceeds minimum industry standards. j. Provide options for demolition of existing buildings which minimizes disruptions to Public Safety operations during construction. May require phasing the demolition and construction. k. Provide furniture, furnishings, storage, and equipment designs. The above mentioned areas are not intended to be all inclusive. It is anticipated that the actual building layout and construction will be adjusted, based upon final recommendations and the architect and staff reviews. All considerations of the proposal should be calculated based upon a 50-year service period preferably to build-out if budget allows. Currently Pleasant Grove City has a population of approximately 38,000. It is anticipated that the buildout population will be 55,000.
