Information

Request/Subject

Request to advertise Request for Qualifications Nos. 041219, 041319, 041419, 041819 – for architectural firms and construction manager at risk firms for the Payson Complex project and the Globe Animal Care and Control facility.

Background Information

The Request for Qualifications "RFQ" process is a two-phase process. The first phase is solely to review qualifications. A bid amount (pricing) is not solicited at this time. Once the responses are received by the designated date, an evaluation committee will be assembled to evaluate the responses based on scoring criteria identified in the RFQ and, if necessary, interviews with short listed firms will be conducted. The second phase of the RFQ process is to negotiate a price with the selected firms. Upon completion of the negotiations, County staff is confident that an appropriate price has been reached with the successful respondents for the scope of work to be performed. On April 16, 2019, the County Manager presented the proposed capital investments. The RFQ process for these projects is the next step moving forward.

Evaluation

County staff reviewed the different methods by which the capital projects will be accomplished and determined that the partnership between the County, architect and construction manager at risk is a project delivery method that will incorporate value engineering while the design is underway so that a guaranteed maximum price for construction will be determined prior to the construction phase.

Conclusion

Gila County is seeking qualified architects and construction manager at risk firms to assist the County in completing the Payson Complex and Globe Animal Care and Control capital projects as presented by the County Manager on 4/16/19.

Recommendation

The Finance Director recommends and requests that the Board of Supervisors authorize the advertisement of RFQ Nos. 041219, 041319, 041419, 041819 – for architectural firms and construction manager at risk firms for the Payson Complex project and the Globe Animal Care and Control facility to be published for two consecutive weeks in the Arizona Silver Belt newspaper.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to authorize the advertisement of Request for Qualifications Nos. 041219, 041319, 041419, 041819 – for architectural firms and construction manager at risk firms for the Payson Complex project and the Globe Animal Care and Control facility in the Arizona Silver Belt for publication on 5/29/19 and 6/05/19.
