RFQ Design - Engineering Architectural Services Red Cliff Transportation Facility

The Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa through the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Transit Administration have received funding through the BUILD program (Currently RAISE) for the construction of the Red Cliff Transportation Facility. The purpose of the overall project is the construction of a 22,000 square foot maintenance and storage facility with associated transportation administrative office space. The facility will closely resemble the Bay Area Rural Transit (BART) facility that was constructed in Ashland, Wisconsin (30 miles south) in 2013. From a preliminary review of the BART facility, and during the initial project planning process, it has been determined that the Center would be slightly modified from the BART facility. These modifications will include, but are not limited to, minor changes to the interior layout to tailor it to the occupants need, exterior modifications to reflect the culture and aesthetics of the Red Cliff Band, and site improvements/layout to situate the proposed building on the selected parcel of land. The building size, functionality, and materials will ultimately be equal to that of the BART facility when design and construction are completed. CONTENTS OF PROPOSAL 1.
